Pasquini Livia G4 Commercial Espresso Machine - fully-automatic, PID

The Pasquini Livia G4 espresso machine replaces the discontinued Pasquini Livia 90 semi-automatic that was produced for over 15 years. The G4 brings a refreshing, new stylistic fortitude to the United States' home enthusiast.

There are improved features over the Livia 90. Most importantly, the brain unit is located on the floor of the unit where there is the least amount of detrimental heat that could affect the motherboard. This feature alone will save a lot of replacements of motherboard.

Second, the grouphead is actively heated by a separate heating element as opposed to the passive heating (through metal) of the grouphead on the Livia 90. The steam wand is cool to the touch.
