From: 60,00 

Bong Isolator and water-heated grouphead mod for La Pavoni is created for for all generations of La Pavoni manual lever machines that have a two bolted-on group head, except the 1st gens made in the 70's. Also serves as a water-heated grouphead mod for 2nd Generation lever machines - also called OLD GEN machines. Cannot be used in conjunction with the brass or stainless connectors used on the group head neck, on the NEW GEN Post Mill machines. The isolator actually replaces the connectors.

Rating 3/5 (was not able to click anything other than 5 stars) Resutls: with daily use of 1 to 2 hours per day, after 11 months of use the nylon is now showing heat fatigue with crystallisation around the edges and brittle fracturing. This now leads to leaks on the side of the boiler. Conclusion: With this type of regular use this part would need to be replaced around every 12 months. Although the handling of the machine and temperature control were greatly improved I do not recommed make this large an investment if the replacement period is this short. Comment: I commend the developers on the work so far on this product though I think it is imperative the life-cycle may be improved somehow or the manufacturing costs and hence retail price lowered for more accessible replacement.

Game Changer

I had to open up the through hole .5mm but love it! Works better than expected. Bolt spacing may have been toleranced to tight on the 1987 Professional boiler… no big hurdle.

Bong isolator

Vieles was in guten Espressoautomaten automatisch überwacht wird, muss bei den La Pavonis selbst vorgenommen werden. Dazu gehört vor allen Dingen die richtige Temperatur bei der Extraktion. Der Bongisolator reduziert zuverlässig die Temperatur in der Brühgruppe und hält diese auch nach mehreren Extraktionen in einem akzeptablen Temperaturfenster. Er ist aus meiner Sicht ein sehr sinnvolles Zubehör. Für den 1,6 Liter Boiler ist es ein Muss.

Bong On!

Completely changed the stability of the machine for the better… Couldn’t ask for more!
