La Pavoni Desiderio 3 Group Automatic Espresso Machine
£5,116.00(£6,139.20 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The La Pavoni Desiderio is a three-group automatic espresso machine built for professional use in cafés, restaurants, and hospitality venues where consistent coffee output across a full service is non-negotiable. It combines a large-capacity boiler with a substantial heating system and PID temperature control across each group head, giving operators the ability to manage extraction precisely and maintain quality even when the machine is working hard throughout the day.
In busy service periods, the generous boiler capacity and high-output heating system allow the Desiderio to recover quickly between pulls, which matters when orders are stacking up during a morning rush or a post-lunch spike. Three group heads working simultaneously means your team can keep pace without the machine becoming the bottleneck. Real-time pressure gauges on each group give experienced baristas a clear read on extraction quality during service, not just at setup.
Practically, the machine offers a number of advantages for day-to-day operation:
- PID temperature control per group for consistent extraction across all three heads
- Touch-screen interface that simplifies workflow and reduces training time for new staff
- Four programmable dose buttons plus a continuous flow option per group for flexible output
- Triple steam wands and a dedicated hot water tap to support milk-based drinks and hot beverages simultaneously
- Can be installed on single phase power by a qualified professional where three-phase supply is unavailable
On installation, the Desiderio is a substantial piece of equipment requiring a reliable water supply, adequate drainage, and a correctly specified electrical connection. While single-phase installation is possible, three-phase supply is the standard configuration and should be confirmed with your electrician ahead of delivery. Counter space and weight-bearing capacity should also be assessed before ordering.
This machine is well suited to independent cafés, hotel breakfast operations, and restaurant bars that serve a meaningful volume of espresso-based drinks and require barista-grade output with a degree of operational simplicity. For very high-volume venues — large-scale events operations or high-footfall concessions — it may be worth discussing whether a higher-throughput configuration would serve you better.
If you are weighing up whether the Desiderio is the right fit for your setup, our team is happy to talk through your service volumes and site requirements before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Desiderio suitable for a busy independent café doing 200 to 300 covers a day?
A three-group machine at this specification is generally well matched to that kind of volume, provided your team are experienced and workflow is organised around the bar. The key variable is how your orders are distributed across the day — a sharp morning rush concentrated into 90 minutes puts more pressure on recovery than the same number of drinks spread across a full service. If you are regularly pushing those numbers in tight windows, it is worth talking through your peak period profile with us before ordering.
What are the electrical and plumbing requirements for installation?
The Desiderio is designed for three-phase electrical supply as standard, though it can be configured for single-phase installation by a qualified electrician where three-phase is not available — this should be confirmed before delivery. You will also need a mains water feed, a pressure-regulated supply, and adequate drainage at the counter position. We would always recommend having your electrical and plumbing arrangements assessed in advance to avoid any complications on installation day.
How does PID temperature control affect the quality of the coffee in practice?
PID control allows the machine to maintain a stable and precise brew temperature at each group head independently, rather than relying on a single boiler temperature applied uniformly. In practice, this means you can compensate for different roasts or recipes across groups and reduce the shot-to-shot variability that comes with temperature drift during heavy use. For venues serving specialty coffee where extraction consistency matters, this level of control is a meaningful operational advantage.
