The la Pavoni Professional with the black base (model PBB-16) can be distinguished from the chrome Professional in three ways. 1) The PBB-16 does not include the additional frothing attachment. On this model, milk is frothed with the traditional steam wand. The steam wand on this Professional has a well-designed three hole tip. 2) The base is not chrome. 3) The colored base Professional is $47.00 less expensive than the chrome Professional. All other features remain the same.
Just like the chrome 16 cup Professional, the 16 cup Professional model with the black base can easily produce .8 BAR of pressure. The la Pavoni PBB-16 also has the same two important safety systems that prevent damage from over heating: 1) A built in thermostat will shut the boiler off if it reaches unsafe temperature levels. It can be reset once the machine cools. 2) There is a pressure relief valve that automatically opens to relieve excessive pressure inside the boiler.
The construction of the boiler and portafilter are made of the same quality materials. The boiler is constructed of nickel plated, solid brass to ensure that the proper water temperature can be easily reached and maintained. The exterior of the boiler is triple chrome plated for durability. The nonpressurized portafilter is constructed of 12 oz. of solid chromed brass. Just like their chrome counterparts, the la Pavoni Professional models are not only a timeless beauty, they possesses the hallmarks of quality craftsmanship.
