Pasquini Espresso Machines are well known in the United States as they hail from Los Angeles. Yet many of the coffee buying public mistakenly thinks they are an Italian espresso machine.
The Pasquini Livia 90 comes in both a Semi Automatic and "Automatic" version but the only real difference for the home barista is the control panel.
Having spent the last 3.5 years in Los Angeles I have become a fan of these machines but wonder about the ethos of their misleading elements. I hope that this new topic will generate a conversation so I can learn whether Europeans know this brand and how they feel about the common mistakes that most Americans make in their assumptions when buying this machine.
