Review Livia 90 Automatic Espresso Machine - HML90A / Livia:From Italy comes the celebrated Pasquini Livia 90 Automatic espresso & cappuccino machine. Designed for home, office, or small restaurant use, it employs sturdy commercial components from a world famous professional espresso machine line. The Livia 90 Automatic is just like the original Livia 90 Semiautomatic but it adds the bonus of an automatic one-touch brewing system. Automatic espresso machines give you the consistency of precise water volume delivery that semi auto machines lack. This is a highly desired feature and you'll find that more and more true commercial machines are full automatics, because the results in restaurants and cafes show the system's benefits. Brewing espresso & frothing milk at the same time is no problem for the Livia! This is an absolute necessity for any espresso machine used for entertaining or in a semi-commercial environment. This saves a lot of time and eliminates the need for you to wait for the boiler to recover between espresso brewing and milk heating functions (common on all single boiler machines). The dual heat exchanger allows for both functions to take place simultaneously. * High-performance pump system provides uniform and constant pump pressure making a superior espresso with thick crema. * Large 1.
