35,00 €
Old-Style La Pavoni Metal Sightglass Cover with two new gaskets, offered as a complete kit.
Old-Style La Pavoni Brass Sightglass Cover with two new silicone gaskets, offered as a complete kit.
La Pavoni Brass Sightglass Cover with new gaskets fits all version of Europiccola, Professional or Stradivari.
On some special versions that have the plastic glass retainers the installation might not be possible.
This part used to be installed originally on old gen LP’s.
Enhances the look of your LP.
The cover is made of 100% of pure brass, CNC machined.
The product is delivered with two new silicone sight glass gaskets, ones from above and bottom.
We do not ship the upper or lower nuts or sight glass retainers. Just the above mentioned items.
Installation process is pretty easy:
Just remove the old metal sight glass cover (older gens) or the plastic mask (newer gens).
Remove the big nut cap from above the sight glass.
Release the two nuts that seal up and down, on the sight glass.
REMEMBER THE RIGHT AND CORRECT POSITION OF EACH AND EVER COMPONENT BEFORE TAKING NEXT STEPS.
Remove white teflon gasket and begin gently pushing the sight glass up, to release if from it’s original position and exit with it upwards.
Replace old silicon gaskets, one up one down. Two new gaskets are offered inside the package.
Insert the metal cover in the sight glass position.
Insert the sight glass back to it’s position, through the metal cover.
Note that the metal cover is not clip on, it needs to be first put into sight glass position and then reinsert the glass back.
Make sure that using some soft material like wood, you will insert the sight glass ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE CORRECT POSITION, before closing everything and testing the seal. First push by hand and after, use soft material to ensure good contact.
Please test the seal before using the machine.
Dont stand close and dont look too close at the sight glass when making first water and pressure seal testings, before first use and extraction.
If there are no water or pressure leaks present to the eye / ear, proceed to normal use of your LP.
DECLAIMER:
At newer gens, it seems that La Pavoni introduced the plastic mask that covers the sight glass in case the glass tube could break and hot water could splash.
WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND USERS TO REINSTALL THE PLASTIC MASK ALSO.
We cannot be held responsible in case for any injury, if the new metal sight glass cracks by any reason and you did not use the plastic mask to protect yourself from possible boiling water splash.
We also want to mention that older gens have only this type of metal cover over the sight glass and no plastic cover.

GBSuperb service!
This was part of my first order with Coffee Sensor and the quality of the products and services are superb. I placed the order on Sunday afternoon and the package was delivered by 8.30am Tuesday morning! The sightglass makes the La Pavoni look better. I use it without the plastic cover which enhances the overall look, in my opinion. Thanks.
GBIncreases visibility of water level
The description states 'Enhances the look of your LP', which it surely does. It's beautifully made and an excellent fit. However, that was not my reason for purchasing this item. I have a post Millennium machine, and sometimes experienced difficulty seeing the water level in the sight glass. To be fair, in part I think that was because I waited too long before checking the sight glass gaskets and my lower one had developed a tiny leak so that the plastic cover would steam up a little. Won't make that mistake again. I hoped that the slit in the metal cover would help draw my eye to the water level. Although I have a chrome machine, I chose the brass version of the cover for greater visual contrast. I am delighted with the result.
SEPrice
Good product but the delivery price is way too excessive. I mean 15€ to send me something that fits into an envelope is ridiculous. When I saw these “small shipping” signs on the side of some articles I thought that the delivery price would be less. Now I needed one 5€ sticker but had to get it somewhere else. Sad
Coffee Sensor
Would you prefer for the parcel or envelope to get lost? And me to resend or refund the amount? Unfortunately, cheap shipping means cheap services and i decided this year to offer my customers and clients only the best, so both sides will be happy with the transaction and partnership. I understand your point of view, but i want quality over quantity.
