I've got La Pavoni Europicolla. It looks lovely, but requires much finer grind than ground coffee sold in supermarkets. For years used to buy Santos & Java from Wittards (ground to 3.3 on their grinder) but recently invested in a Mazzer Super Jolly. You can get the exact grind that makes rich crema. Tried Illy coffee and all other supermarket varieties but found that a small Italian delicatessen in Old Compton Street does a superb Italian Espresso blend for £9/kg in bean. Really smooth and strong without any acidity (that I don't like). Some people might find this coffee over-roasted, but for me it's superb...
hmmmm what was it called? Formula Bar, Formula Rossa or Miscela Bar.
