I own a La Pavoni Europiccola, and it is likely the most cost-effective purchase I ever made. It's slightly more advanced than the Robot, but only just. Pavoni have been making them for 60 years or so, and they haven't fundamentally changed at all during that time. The thing is built like a tank, too; it'll likely outlive me if taken care of.
