We recently got the Pasquini Livia. We ordered it through Illy and the first one came in smashed on the left front side. However, there was no visible damage on the exterior of the shipping box. Did they pack it that way?
We called and they sent another one. Illy's people are nice but they send orders damaged, double or sometimes triple ship the same product, etc...
The second machine came in fine condition. We placed it on a very expensive high finished maple top kitchen cart. The Livia has mushy rubber feet to keep it from slipping when used. A month later we noticed to our shock that the rubber had interacted with the lacquer finish and had made four large circular and unremovable black marks on this john boor kitchen cart. At the same time the Livia runs extremely hot to the touch. So we called Illy who told us we now had to call Pasquini directly as our thrity day exchange period was up. We called Pasquini and they put us through to their "tech" department.
The entire Tech dept is run by one guy who was rather unfriendly and unhelpful. He at first tried to tell me that the machine wasn't hot but after ten minutes agreed that it shouldn't be buring my hand when I touched it near the top. As for the rubber feet he disavowed all responsibilty. He promised to ship us another machine, which never came. My fiancee, who ordered this machine for me as a birthday present has tried calling several times. She keeps getting the run around. The same thing happened when we had a complaint with the portafilter. The two cup spout attachment was threaded wrong and didn't line up left and right. When we called Pasquini we spoke to the same "gentleman" in tech support who originally insisted we didn't know how to "screw" it on but after a while agreed to ship us another. Guess what? It also never came. We are now waiting two weeks for the replacement machine and will have to call mastercard and initiate a chargeback if it doesn't come soon. We like the idea of the machine, if it only worked well.... As for the customer support? Pasquini should be ashamed! I am in a service business and I do everything possible to make sure that all of my clients are satisfied with our service.
Editorial Review:
An espresso machine for discerning tastes, the Livia 90 is an investment in distinction and enjoyment for years to come. One of the finest semi-commercial espresso machines, it is loaded with features that contribute to its reputation for excellence. It is one of a select few machines of its type that can simultaneously brew coffee and steam milk, saving time and increasing the rate of drink production. These features, in addition to it NSF Sanitation Certification, (required for machines used in the foodservice industry), make it an espresso machine for all venues. Colors: Polished stainless steel. Power: 1200 watts - 120 volts - No commercial power requirements. Size: 12. 5 H (lid closed) x 11. 5 W x 15 D. Weight: 37 pounds.
