Simple buttons at your fingertips will brew the amount you desire and then stop automatically. The powerful commercial pump and steamer also make the Livia 90 automatic capable of brewing and steaming milk at the same time!

In addition to these simple controls, a pressure gauge, just below the control panel, signals when it is up to pressure for use.

This refined espresso machine employs sturdy commercial components such as 3-way solenoid valve, adjustable pressure stat, auto fill boiler and stainless steel steam arm. It has the same separate hot water dispenser as the Pasquini renowned professional line.

Pasquini Espresso Machines and Coffee Grinders Review

The Pasquini company is known for both its residential and commercial coffee equipment. One of the most well known Pasquini espresso machines is the Pasquini Livia 90. Though it is constructed to be durable and long-lasting like a commercial machine, it is remarkably suitable for use in a household kitchen.

One way in which the Pasquini Livia 90 espresso machine distinguishes itself as a commercial-grade machine is its NSF Sanitation Certification, which foodservice appliances are required to have. There are two types of Livia machines Pasquini has produced. One is an automatic version, which provides the user with the least amount of control over making their own beverage; the Livia will control the flow of liquid without any human effort. The semi-automatic model allows users to turn the beverage flow on and off. The Livia can brew either one or two cups of espresso at one time. It can also be left turned on all day without any problems, so if you have a small office or if you enjoy drinking coffee or espresso all day at home, you can always get a fresh cup in a flash. The Livia is also fast when you first turn it on. It will warm up within seven minutes of being turned on.

One notable drawback to the Livia is its price tag. Since it is a commercial-grade machine, it comes with a commercial-grade price; a Livia will set you back approximately $1700. There is another Pasquini model that is slightly cheaper. The Pasquini Livietta costs around $1000 and also features commercial-grade durability. Like the Livia, it boasts a fast warm-up time. The Livietta is compatible with ESE pods and coffee grounds alike. If you have a small kitchen or limited countertop space, you might want to consider the Livietta due to its very small size. It is only 12 inches tall and eight inches wide.

Coffee grinders also comprise Pasquini's product line. The Pasquini Moka "Chrome" is a grinder with a doser and built-in tamper. The Pasquini K2 is similar to the Moka "Chrome" but is doserless.
