La Pavoni Botticelli Evolution Dual Boiler Espresso Machine w/ Flow Control

La Pavoni Botticelli Evolution Dual Boiler Espresso Machine w/ Flow Control

The La Pavoni Botticelli Evolution is a professional-grade espresso machine designed to deliver precise, consistent, and versatile coffee performance. At its core is a dual boiler system, featuring a stainless steel brew boiler for exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and clean, neutral heat transfer that ensures stable extraction temperatures, paired with a copper and brass steam boiler for rapid heat-up, excellent thermal conductivity, and powerful, consistent steam for effortless milk texturing. This combination provides the perfect balance between precise espresso brewing and dynamic steaming capability. The E61 grouphead, renowned for its thermal mass and natural pre-infusion, ensures excellent temperature stability and consistent extractions. To elevate performance even further, we include and install a flow control kit at no extra cost, allowing hands-on adjustment of water flow for ultimate shot control.

Temperature management is enhanced by independent PID controls for the brew and steam boilers, with dedicated displays for easy monitoring at a glance, offering superior precision compared to single-display systems. Fully multi-directional steam and hot water wands with rotary knobs provide flexible positioning and fine control, while the steam wand’s two-hole tip delivers balanced steam flow, ideal for producing smooth, silky microfoam. Separate pressure gauges for each boiler and individual power switches allow monitoring and operation in espresso-only mode or with steam enabled, improving efficiency and user control.

Practicality is built in with a switchable water tank that has an open-top design for easy refilling and cleaning, while a direct water line option eliminates the need for constant refills. A rotary vane pump delivers quiet, stable pressure and supports water line connection, providing long-term reliability and smooth operation. Every feature of the Botticelli Evolution is engineered to offer precision, flexibility, and control, making it an ideal choice for espresso enthusiasts who demand professional performance in a home or small commercial setting.

General Espresso Machine Notes/Warnings:

• Upon first use (tank/reservoir models): On the initial start-up (or after a long period of non-use), it is important to make sure the pump is removing water from the tank. When the machine is powered on, you will hear the pump running. After 5 seconds, squeeze the in-line hose in the tank (usually the longest hose, has a particle filter attached). if you hear a different sound, this means the pump is working correctly. If not, immediately power down the machine and contact us. For more information, visit this page General Manual Pump Priming.
• Electrical: To avoid electrical damage to this espresso machine which is not considered a manufacturer's defect, please acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher. Without the recommended surge suppressor, the espresso machine can be damaged at the power switch, the electronics, the heating element, the pressurstat, or the wiring inside. For more information, visit this page Power Protection.
• Water: To increase the useful life and not damage your espresso machine, please use softened water. Softened water is water without calcium and magnesium, but still has other minerals for espresso extraction. Do not use distilled, purified, or reverse osmosis water as these types of water create oxidation with the metals and cause the same damaging effects as limescale. For more information, visit this page Water Choice.
• Descaling: We do not recommend descaling unless there is an issue with the espresso machine. Too much descaling can eat away at the metals and gaskets inside an espresso machine. As a preventative measure, we recommend using softened water as explained in the bullet point above.
• Backflushing: This procedure of cleaning the grouphead will need to be performed from time to time. For more information, visit this page Espresso Machine Backflush – Why 50?
