Product Variations Explained
1. PEEK material shipped with Stainless Bolts (Silver or Gold color)
-
Offers the best and strongest thermal isolation from the boiler for La Pavoni users.
-
Backed by Bong’s testing and charts, it provides the cleanest and most powerful thermal cut.
- Best for heavy users that do multiple shots per day and want the best recovery and isolation.
2. Titanium Material shipped always and only with Titanium Bolts and Washers.
-
Offers a balance between thermal isolation and long-term material durability.
-
Thermal behavior in the charts - movement wise, pre - and post-shot is nearly identical to Nylon, but the group head will always remain a few degrees warmer than with any polymer materials.
- Recovery is slower after shot than PEEK.
3. Opting into our special PEEK or Ti Replacement Program

Functional and essential
Both the titanium and PEEK isolators work well and do what they were designed to do. I have both, not because one or the other didn't work well, but because I was curious and wanted to know. I like them both. I ended up with the titanium isolator installed (for now :-).
Bong Isolator
Great extension to the La Pavoni √
Bong Isolator
Everything was perfect, delivered quickly and was easy to install!
Beyond expectations
Great product, as others from Coffee Sensor. I just love the quality of all these gear. Isolator works perfectly, just make sure to preheat group head before the first shot - otherwise it will be too cold since isolator does its job well.
Works as it should
Pavoni works perfectly. I can leave it on for hours and it will not overheat. You need the temperature stripes with it because it will actually cool down below 60 degrees celsius but 3 dry pumps and its back at temperature.
Description
Characteristics
Description
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 bolted-on group head / with the two side bolts used.
Also serves as a water-heated grouphead mod for Gen2 – OLD GEN machines.
The kit contains the isolator’s body (Nylon), two stainless steel bolts, two stainless steel washers and two black caps (to be installed on the bolt head).
Each stainless steel washer stand between the bolt head and the GH round holes.
Bong Isolator and water-heated grouphead mod for La Pavoni is not 3D printed.
The part is CNC machined from food grade, high heat and shock resistant Nylon.
- The product is created by “La Pavoni Re-Envisioned” Team or special group:
- Bong Juachon – Concept idea and design;
- John Michael Hauck – CAD designer;
- Bruce Colglazier Pappas – The “Third eye”;
- Tudor P. – manufacturing and sales / after sales services.

What is the Isolator exactly?
1. Converts Gen 2 GH’s from steam heated to water heated;
2. Manages and cools down the group head and so, the water temperature inside the GH.
This is a thing that the OEM machines can not do and mostly they just make the water too hot for coffee extractions, especially with the second pull, third and so on.
3. It replaces any other water heated GH mod or any GH cooling accessories with success;
4. Reuses the old water pipe, having the same thread inside;
5. Coffee Sensor used a high temperature special polymer for this product – from March 2021 – Nylon is being used.
Although our philosophy and MOTTO are “no more plastic inside La Pavoni”, this is a part that just could not have this tremendous effect on extractions, by using metal as building material.
6. It replaces the silicone boiler / GH isolator already on the market;
7. The isolator is compatible and adapts easily on all Gen 2, Gen 3 or even Gen 4 machines. (Pre – OLD GEN / Post mill – NEW GEN, including Stradivari).
Some advantages during use are:
1. First accessory that makes multiple shots REAL on La Pavoni’s (eliminates waiting time for cooling);
2. NO more water baths, wet cloth or PF ice baths for cooling purposes;
3. Easy DIY installation process;
4. No maintenance required;
5. No big aesthetic change on this piece of art called La Pavoni.
6. Material: Nylon (food safe).
Our team conclusions are :
1. A MUST HAVE for every LP machine user;
2. And as our “third-eye” – Bruce said: ” Bong, looks like you tamed the Gen 2 beast”. 😂😂
The measurements show:
Chart 1 – static heating temps difference between two types: NO ISOLATOR (RED COLOUR) and WITH ISOLATOR – BLUE COLOUR;

Conclusions:
Standard NO ISOLATOR stable temp – 104°C
WITH THE ISOLATOR stable temp – 60°C
Chart 2 – temps variations during and after pull:

And the real proof is Bong’s actual multiple shots in action found here:
Unlock superior brewing power with the Bong isolator and water-heated grouphead mod for La Pavoni machines
Are you a coffee aficionado believing there’s nothing like the taste of a fresh brew with thick crema? If so, there’s a good chance you’re familiar with La Pavoni machines.
But what if we told you there was a way to improve your setup by unlocking its superior brewing power? This Bong isolator does it instantly !
No more tasteless coffee after you buy the Bong isolator and water-heated grouphead mod for La Pavoni
Boiling hot water going through ground coffee beans enhances all flavors, especially bitterness. Many consumers feel the bitter taste of coffee and its quality deterioration just because a grouphead is overheated. The problem is easily corrected with slightly cooler water, which second-generation coffee machines do not typically provide.
The isolator is IMHO useful also on the 3rd and 4th gen simply because it offers predictability on these machines, a thing the standard version does not…
What that means is we know, with the help of the isolator, each and every morning, how the group head is BEFORE the first shot and how it will act during and after.
It means we know with the help of this product the when, how and why. Especiallu the WHEN problem.
The isolator keeps the group head cooled, under 60 degrees C, before the first shot, let’s you dry / wet pump the group head to reach the desired EXACT temperature before the shot and also, after the shot, let’s the GH recover and stabilize at a certain predictable level, again, a thing IMPOSSIBLE before the invention of this product.
Buy the Bong isolator and water-heated grouphead mod for La Pavoni online and install it on your coffee machine to protect it from overheating and keep water from heating or cooling down too quickly.
It allows for more even extractions, eliminates any chances of unbalanced tastes and also, helps manage the temps almost to perfection.
Reliable investment in your coffee machine
Usually, this mod does NOT require special knowledge of electronics and hydraulics.
Shop for the Bong isolator and water-heated grouphead mod for La Pavoni, and be sure it’s highly reliable once installed.
It prevents temperature spikes when brew pressure is released. And because your temperature is always maintained, you’ll have no issue producing the second and third shots of coffee when the grouphead has already heated up.
This Bong isolator and water-heated grouphead mod for La Pavoni for sale shows perfect results especially when making multiple cups of quality coffee in rapid succession. You can take it up a notch with your coffee game!
So, if you or your coffee shop clients want to enjoy great espresso or Americano without unpleasant bitterness or the watery taste of the brew, grab this Bong isolator and water-heated grouphead mod for La Pavoni at the price that will delight you!
