You eventually reach a point where the notches on a standard grinder feel like a series of compromises you’re no longer willing to make. The transition to stepless grind adjustment is the moment you stop settling for "near enough" and start hitting the exact profile your coffee demands. It is a heavy, chromed silver reminder that your morning ritual has moved past the hobby phase and into something more permanent. Now you can get back to the actual work of dialing in.

Product Features

Tritan Bean Container

A 600 g Tritan hopper feeds the burrs and includes a closing slide for cleaner removal when beans remain inside.

Chromed Silver Body

The chromed aluminum body gives the Cilindro a polished finish that visually complements La Pavoni's home lever machines and is easy to wipe clean.

Portafilter Guide

The adjustable portafilter guide supports direct, tidy grinding into the basket for an efficient home espresso workflow.

LCD Dosing Control

The LCD touch display provides programmable one- and two-cup timed doses plus continuous grinding. It is not a grind-by-weight system.

Stepless Grind Adjustment

Coffee grinder with adjustable grinding dial and Infinite grinding settings provides stepless control for dialing in extraction across different beans and roast levels. That fine control helps maintain consistent shot quality under changing conditions.

500 g Hopper Capacity

The 50 mm flat hardened-steel burrs and 310W motor suit regular home espresso and intermittent back-to-back preparation without claiming commercial-duty output.

Brand

La Pavoni

Desiderio Pavoni founded La Pavoni in Milan in 1905 and helped bring early commercial espresso-machine technology into production. The historic Italian brand later became equally renowned for its iconic domestic lever machines.

The Coffeeionado Take

Who's It For:

  • La Pavoni Lever Machine Owners — If you run a La Pavoni Europiccola or Professional, the Cilindro is the matched grinder — same Italian craftsmanship, same design philosophy, built to complement the machine it sits next to
  • Home Baristas Who Want Italian Simplicity — 50mm flat steel burrs, stepless adjustment, a 500g hopper. No touchscreens, no apps, no features you will not use. Just a grinder that does its job
  • Enthusiasts Who Value Aesthetics — The Cilindro's design matches La Pavoni's lever machines — if your setup matters as much as your shot, this grinder completes the picture

It's Right For You If:

  • You want a grinder that matches your La Pavoni lever machine in both design and engineering philosophy — the Cilindro is built for that pairing.
  • Your daily routine is 2–6 espresso drinks and you want stepless adjustment for precise dialing without feature bloat.

Things to Consider:

  • The large 600 g hopper favors hopper-fed use rather than single dosing.
  • Doses are programmed by time, not weight, so bean or grind changes may require retiming.
  • The 50 mm platform is intended for home and intermittent service rather than a busy commercial bar.

Our Take:

The La Pavoni Cilindro is the grinder for people who own a La Pavoni lever machine and want the complete Italian package — matched design, matched philosophy, 50mm burrs that do the job without overcomplicating it.

Cilindro Coffee Grinder by La Pavoni

The La Pavoni Cilindro is an Italian-made on-demand grinder with 50 mm flat hardened-steel burrs, stepless micrometric adjustment, and an LCD touch display. Its chromed aluminum body is designed to pair naturally with La Pavoni's home espresso machines.

Programmable On-Demand Dosing

The touch display provides one- and two-cup dose programs plus continuous operation. These are timed programs rather than weight-based doses.

50 mm Flat Burrs

The flat hardened-steel burr set supports everyday home espresso and coarser brew settings. The adjustable portafilter guide allows direct grinding into the basket.

600 g Tritan Hopper

The Tritan bean hopper holds up to 600 g and includes a closing slide so it can be removed with beans inside.

Things to Consider

  • The large 600 g hopper is intended for hopper-fed use, not single dosing.
  • Doses are time-based, so coffee or grind changes may require reprogramming.
  • The 50 mm platform is intended for home and intermittent service rather than a busy commercial bar.

Product FAQ

Is the La Pavoni Cilindro Coffee Grinder suitable for home use?

Yes. The La Pavoni Cilindro is designed as a serious espresso grinder for home baristas who want commercial-grade build quality and consistency in a home setup.

Is the La Pavoni Cilindro a stepless grinder, and how precise is the grind adjustment?

The Cilindro uses a stepless (infinitely variable) adjustment collar, allowing you to dial in very small changes in grind size for fine-tuning espresso shots. This gives you more control than stepped grinders with fixed click positions.

Can the La Pavoni Cilindro grind for both espresso and filter coffee (pour-over, drip, French press)?

It is optimized for espresso and very fine grind settings. You can adjust it coarser for moka pot and some filter methods, but it is not primarily intended as a multi-purpose grinder. If you plan to switch regularly between espresso and coarse filter, you may find it less convenient than a grinder designed for broader brew ranges.

What type and size of burrs does the La Pavoni Cilindro Coffee Grinder use?

The Cilindro is equipped with flat steel burrs designed for espresso grinding. They provide consistent particle size and good flavor clarity. Exact burr diameter and material specifications can vary by production batch, so refer to the technical specs on the product page for the most current details.

How long do the burrs in the La Pavoni Cilindro typically last, and how often do they need to be replaced?

Burr life depends on usage and bean hardness, but as a guideline you can expect several hundred pounds of coffee before noticing performance decline — for home use, that often means many years of service. If grind adjustments stop responding predictably or shots become inconsistent despite fresh beans and proper technique, it may be time to change burrs.

Does the La Pavoni Cilindro offer timed or manual dosing, and is it grind-by-weight?

The Cilindro is not a grind-by-weight grinder. It offers electronic timed dosing, allowing you to program dose times for single and double shots, and it can also be run in manual mode if you prefer to control the dose yourself by starting and stopping the grind.

Is the grinder hands-free, and does it include a portafilter fork or holder?

Yes. The Cilindro includes a portafilter fork/holder designed to support the portafilter during grinding, allowing mostly hands-free operation. You can lock the portafilter into the fork and activate the grind, freeing your other hand for puck prep and workflow tasks.

Will the La Pavoni Cilindro fit under standard kitchen cabinets?

The Cilindro has a relatively tall, cylindrical profile. Whether it fits under your cabinets depends on your specific counter-to-cabinet clearance and whether you use the full-size hopper. Many users find it fits under typical U.S. cabinets when pushed forward or with a shorter aftermarket hopper, but you should compare the published height measurement on the product page with your available space to be sure.

Do you ship to PO boxes?

No, we don't ship to PO boxes. Due to the size and weight of our equipment, we require delivery to a physical address where our carriers can safely drop off your order.

How does free installation work?

We want to make your purchase as smooth as possible and will pay the installation via rebate on commercial espresso machines. This includes commercial machines with more than 1 group head and 220V.

If the certified installer needed is over 1.5 hours away then we will pay for the installation call (and install up to the value suggested on page minus call fee). Travel will be paid by customer. Inquire if you have any questions about your location.


Please note, any discounts subject to void the paid installation offer.

At Coffeeionado, professional installation is included with qualifying espresso machine purchases. Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible — from coordinating the technician to getting your machine up and running on day one.


Which Machines Qualify

Free professional installation is included with all espresso machines of 2 groups or more where indicated on the product listing. This policy applies to espresso machines only and does not cover other coffee equipment such as grinders, brewers, or accessories.

If you are unsure whether your machine qualifies, contact us before purchasing and we'll confirm.


What's Included

  • Travel and labor costs for installation within the technician's service area (up to 2 hours of travel)
  • Setup, basic programming, and commissioning of the equipment
  • Scheduling during regular business hours, Monday through Friday
  • Associated taxes and fees related to the installation itself

Installation must be completed within 90 days of delivery of the equipment. The installation benefit lapses after this window and cannot be reinstated.


How Installation Is Arranged

Depending on your purchase, installation is handled one of two ways:

Arranged directly — In many cases, Coffeeionado or the manufacturer will coordinate and pay the technician on your behalf. We will contact you after your order is processed to schedule the visit.

Reimbursement — In some cases, you may be asked to arrange the installation locally using an authorized technician and submit a rebate form for reimbursement. Once approved, the covered amount will be refunded to the original payment method used for your order.

We will confirm which arrangement applies to your purchase at the time of order confirmation. If you have questions before purchasing, contact us and we'll walk you through it.


What's Not Included

The following are outside the scope of the installation policy and remain the customer's responsibility:

  • Travel or callout costs beyond the first 2 hours of the technician's travel time — if your location falls outside the local service area, the overage is the customer's responsibility
  • Water filtration systems and installation materials — including plumbing fittings, tubing, plugs, outlets, and any other ancillary components required to prepare the site
  • Electrical or plumbing work — site preparation must be completed before the technician arrives
  • Training on equipment operation — installation covers commissioning only, not barista or operational training
  • False start or callout fees if the technician arrives and the site is not ready for installation

Important: If a technician arrives and cannot complete the installation because the site is unprepared, you will be responsible for any callout or false start fee charged by the technician. However, your installation benefit remains intact — the visit will be rescheduled at no additional cost to your policy.


Water Filtration Requirement

Water filtration must be installed and operational before or at the time of installation. This is not optional — operating a commercial espresso machine without proper filtration will void the manufacturer's warranty. If filtration is not in place at the time of the technician's visit, installation may need to be rescheduled and the callout fee will be the customer's responsibility.

If you need guidance on water filtration requirements for your machine, contact us before scheduling your installation.


Service Area

Installation coverage is tied to the manufacturer's authorized technician service area, generally within a 1.5-hour radius of the nearest certified technician. If the customer's location falls outside this area, Coffeeionado will make reasonable efforts to arrange a local authorized technician, but travel costs beyond the 2-hour coverage limit remain the customer's responsibility.

Not sure if you're in a service area? Contact us before purchasing and we'll check your location.


What to Expect on Install Day

Getting a commercial espresso machine delivered is one thing. Getting it actually running — plumbed, programmed, and pulling properly — is another. Here's what happens when the technician comes out.

Before the appointment: Site preparation will be confirmed before technicians make it out. Once your machine ships, we'll coordinate scheduling with you and assign a local certified technician. Before they arrive, make sure your space is ready: the machine's permanent location should be determined, your water line and drain access should be in place, and your electrical supply should match the machine's requirements. 

On the day The technician will handle the physical installation of the machine — positioning, water line connection, and drain setup. Once it's plumbed and powered, they'll run through the setup and basic programming: boiler pressure, shot parameters, and confirming that water flows correctly through the group heads and steam wands. Some basic training will be provided, they'll pull test shots to verify the machine is operating within spec.


After Installation

Once your machine is installed, we'll provide referrals for authorized service technicians in your area for ongoing maintenance and repairs. Coffeeionado offers lifetime support on all equipment we sell — we're here long after the install is done.


Governing Terms

This installation policy forms part of your agreement with Coffeeionado and is subject to our Terms of Sale and Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict, the Terms of Service governs.

Can I pick up the machine at your store?

We do not have a showroom or storefront for customer pickups, so orders cannot be picked up directly from us. That said, there is an exception for La Spaziale and La Pavoni products, you can contact us to arrange.

However, if you'd prefer, we can arrange to have your machine shipped to a local freight terminal/location for pickup instead. Let us know your city/state (or ZIP code), and we’d be happy to check the nearest terminal options for you.
