The Stradivari models were introduced by La Pavoni in 2005 as a celebration of 100 years of success as the forerunners in iconic innovation and engineering excellence of espresso coffee machines.
After years of success with the classic models Europiccola and Professional, La Pavoni have continued their evolution, with the Stradivari models, which are a tribute to the exceptional quality in Italian design and culture, drawing inspiration from the Stradivari violin. A work of art made by the famous luthier, Antonio Stradivari born in Cremona, northern Italy. The Stradivari plinth is shaped like a violin case and the lever resembles the bow adding aesthetics to the functional pleasure of making espressos.
The Stradivari – STL espresso coffee machine has a boiler capacity the same as the traditional Europiccola, to produce up to 8 espressos, or alternatively with steam directly from the boiler to produce 4 to 6 cappuccinos.
The STL features black bake lite handles, a nickel-plated brass boiler, nickel plated brass group head and steam wand and chrome base with an additional stainless steel drip tray, Cappuccino Automatic Frother, plastic tamper and measuring spoon.
Some of the advantages of the La Pavoni lever machines are the pre-infusion of the hot water on the coffee grounds, allowing the coffee oils to break through and extract a more intense espresso.
