Features
The Livia 90 is the most popular home and light commercial espresso machine of all time.
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 Pasquini's renowned professional espresso machine line. The Livia 90 Automatic is just like the traditional Livia 90 Semiautomatic but it adds the automatic one-touch brewing system. It allows you to press a button that begins the brewing process. When the specified amount of coffee has been dispensed, it will automatically stop brewing. This feature is nice because it adds consistency and you don't have to monitor the brewing progress. The traditional Livia 90 Semiautomatic requires you to press the brewing button and watch the progress, then flip the switch again to stop the brewing process. The result may be inconsistent shots and it takes longer to prepare a beverage. The Livia 90 Automatic eliminates this inconvenience. Many commercial espresso machines now use this technology. In addition, the Livia 90 Automatic is one of the few espresso machines in its class that allows you to brew espresso and steam milk at the same time just like the local coffee bars can! This saves time and makes coffee drink production quick and easy.
"The Livia 90 is packed with features making it one of the finest commercial grade espresso machines for the money."

Automatic Brewing Feature. One-touch Programmable Brewing Control - The Livia 90 Automatic has a programming feature that allows you to choose a "single" or a "double" size drink (1 or 2 shots). Simply choose the cup size you desire and the machine will begin brewing, then stop when the correct amount of coffee has been dispensed. You may program the buttons to brew the amount of coffee you desire.
In addition to the two factory preset brewing options, there is a manual override feature allowing you to brew any size cup of coffee. The automatic brewing features adds convenience, speed and consistency. Many larger commercial espresso machines now feature this system.
Heavy Duty Pump System - High-performance pump system provides uniform and constant pump pressure making a superior espresso with thick crema.
Large 1.5 Liter Boiler Capacity - The Livia 90 features one of the largest boilers for a machine its size. A large capacity boiler makes the production of espresso drinks easy because there is no waiting for the machine to "recover" between shots of espresso or after steaming milk. The Livia 90 will be able to produce espresso and steam milk as fast as you require! The boiler is made of heavy duty copper and is equipped with an advanced 1200 watt heating element.
Brew Espresso & Steam Milk At The Same Time - An Absolute Necessity For Any Espresso Machine Used in a Commercial Environment!
The Livia 90 is the least expensive espresso machine we know of that has the ability to brew espresso and steam milk at the same time! 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.
Large 3.5 Liter Removable Water Tank - The large water tank allows for large numbers of drinks to be made before refilling - ideal for commercial use. You may refill the water tank during operation or remove the tank to refill at your tap. The tank contains a built-in particulate filter helping to prevent foreign matter from reaching the pump and boiler.
Heavy Duty Electrical System - The power supply and durable electrical system allow the Livia 90 to be left on all day so that it's always ready to serve espresso or heat milk. The heating element heats the water in the boiler in less than 10 minutes from initial power-up.
Commercial Grade Housing & Frame - The control panel on the front of the machine features a heavy duty rocker type switch for the main power and two indicator lights. The green light indicates the power is on. The second light is orange and when illuminated, it indicates that the boiler is heating. The boiler pressure gauge located below the main control panel shows when the pressure in the boiler is at its optimum level for brewing espresso.
The panel is also equipped with a three-button control pad that activates the automatic brewing feature. When pressed, the first button makes a single shot of espresso and second button makes a double shot of espresso. The third button allows you to program the quantity of espresso each button will make, and it also serves as a manual shut off for the pump if you wish to interrupt the brewing cycle.
Powerful Steaming/Frothing Capability - The Livia 90 produces an abundance of dry, hot steam. The steam pipe located on the left side of the machine is made of chrome plated brass. One of the tips resembles a more traditional commercial design that is made of stainless steel. The second is made of Teflon. It is larger and it's equipped with holes on its side that draw in outside air, which is then directed into the milk. The result is an almost effortless foam for cappuccino or lattes.
Instant Hot Water Dispenser - Instant hot water dispensing for tea or other hot beverages. When the knob on the right is turned on, it releases hot water from the boiler instantly from the dispenser on the right side of the machine. This is useful for preheating cups or adding hot water to your espresso to make an Americano.
Stainless Steel Filter Baskets - The Livia 90 comes with two stainless steel filter baskets. One for a single shot and one for a double shot of espresso.
