Di Pacci — Dual-Boiler PID E61 Espresso Machine
La Pavoni Botticelli Speciality Coffee Machine
The La Pavoni Botticelli Speciality is a dual-boiler E61 espresso machine with separate PID control for coffee and steam, hand-built in Italy.
This listing is the La Pavoni Botticelli Speciality (LPSBSS03AU), the dual-boiler model in the Botticelli range. A 0.6 L stainless steel coffee boiler and a 1.8 L copper and brass steam boiler each have their own PID, and a rotary pump feeds a chromed brass E61 group with its own pressure gauge, so you can watch extraction pressure as the shot runs.
Separate boilers mean brew temperature stays put however much milk you steam, which is the step up from a heat-exchanger machine. It runs from a 2.9 L removable tank with an electronic water-level sensor, comes with competition baskets in 16 g and 20 g plus a blind basket, and ships with an Australian plug. Note that the Botticelli is a pump-driven E61 machine, not one of La Pavoni's manual lever machines.

Key Features of the Botticelli Speciality
🔥 True dual boiler
A 0.6 L coffee boiler and a 1.8 L steam boiler work independently, so steaming never pulls brew temperature down.
🌡️ Separate PIDs
Set coffee and steam temperatures independently and they hold there shot after shot.
📊 E61 group with pressure gauge
The classic chromed brass E61 group gives natural pre-infusion, and the group gauge shows real extraction pressure.
🔇 Rotary pump
Quieter and smoother than a vibration pump, delivering 8 to 9 bar at the group.
💧 2.9 L tank with level sensor
A removable tank with an electronic sensor warns you before it runs dry.
🏆 Competition baskets included
16 g and 20 g competition filters and a blind basket for backflushing come in the box.
Why Two Boilers Make Better Espresso
Espresso tastes best within a narrow temperature window, but steam needs much more heat. A single boiler or heat exchanger has to compromise between them; a dual boiler doesn't.
- The 0.6 L coffee boiler is held at brew temperature by its own PID.
- The 1.8 L steam boiler runs much hotter on a separate PID, ready for milk at any time.
- Because the two never share heat, you can steam a jug of milk and pull the next shot without any temperature drift or cooling flush.
The payoff is a consistent shot every time, and the freedom to fine-tune brew temperature for different roasts without affecting your steam.

Di Pacci recommendation: Choose the Botticelli Speciality if you want stable brew temperature that's completely independent of steaming, and a group gauge to learn from. Don't bother with it if you need to plumb the machine in or have a very narrow bench; the ECM Mechanika Max is slimmer and can be plumbed.
