In this video, I show you the La Pavoni Professional with modifications to get a much better shot out of it. The best mods I can recommend are the (1) bong isolator, (2) bottomless portafilter with IMS basket, (3) temperature strip, and (4) better steam wand tip. Check out the links below for upgrades and add ons. Originally, I found this machine underwhelming. It got too hot, it didn't give enough shot volume, and did not steam well at all. But after making these adjustments, and spending time with the machine, I have become quite fond of using it.

Here are a few tips that have helped me so far: (1) lift the lever up to just below the valve opening, in order to get more shot volume, due to less vacuum above the puck, (2) the grind needs to be finer for this machine, due to the long pre-infusion, and (3) the pressostat is easily acccessed under the machine and can be adjusted with a screwdriver to obtain your desired pressure, and tangentially temperature.
