La Pavoni owner here, overheating issues after many shots is indeed a thing. Can always put a damp cloth on the group after 2-3 shots if that's a concern. Can't imagine owning a different machine though! (My only other personal machine was a Gaggia Classic, great little machine to be fair)
No issues with getting burned though!

No burns in around 9 years of using La Pavonis. Overheating can happens when making multiple drinks, but you can buy a 'Bong Isolator' which helps to reduce the group from over heating. Steam for days as well.
I made the jump and never looked back. My daily has been a professional but been using a Europiccola for a while and no difference in output at all 😁

I've got a Gaggia Classic and a La Pavoni.
Classic is for consistent, easy espresso in the mornings before work (caveat: it's got a PID).
I get the La Pavoni out at the weekends.You really can't go wrong with either.

I’ve have two espressos a day just to give you an idea of the mileage.
I’d like £400 for it.

@Kalkhoff very temping. My heart says La Pavoni - whose wouldn't? My main concern is the stuff I've read about the overheating issues when trying to pull more than 2 shots. Is that a real thing? ..Oh, and getting 3rd degree burns when carelessly reaching to turn it off at the plug.
@Light_EDDed cool. my head is saying Classic would be more practical. More details, please- year, condition, any mods, price? Thanks.
