Overview
Key Features
-
Pasquini SpiraFlow Group Design
The Pasquini SpiraFlow group design uses a spiral brewing chamber that provides excellent thermal stability and can reach optimal brewing temp in approximately 3 minutes. The SpiraFlow group head does not overheat, eliminating the need for flushing before shots and can provide continuous espresso without temperature loss.
-
TrueTemp PID
The Livia GP uses a TrueTemp PID to show the actual group head temperature at the water inlet. This results in near instantaneous heater activation which means that by the time the water makes it to the coffee from the SpiraFlow group head, it is exactly at the programmed temperature.
-
Volumetric Programming
Using a commercial grade flowmeter, the Livia GP can be customized with two user programmable shot volumes or used in manual mode for a more hands on extraction.
-
Shot Timer
The Livia GP Automatic is equipped with a shot timer on the PID display that counts up once the brew button or program button is activated.
-
Stainless Steel Boiler
Due to the complete isolation of the brew circuit, the 1.5L stainless steel boiler in the Livia GP is fully dedicated to steaming; providing nearly 20% more steam capacity than a similar sized HX boiler and is set to 2 bar to provide dry and powerful steam performance.
-
Quarter-Turn Commercial Steam/Water Valves
While most residential turn knobs require multiple full rotations to open, the Livia GP uses commercially rated steam/water valves that go from fully closed to fully open in just a quarter turn. This makes for much better ergonomics and less wear and tear on the valve body itself.
-
Dual Pump System w/ 9 bar OPV
Equipped with two vibration pumps on separate circuits, the Livia GP gets the natural pre-infusion and improved extraction over a rotary pump without the downside of boiler fill performance. The OPV (over pressure valve) is factory calibrated at 9 bar and this dual pump system improves reliability and reduces long term repair costs.
-
Barista Lights
The Livia GP has two LED lights that illuminate the workspace above the drain tray for easier and better workflow in dimly lit environments.
-
Side-loading Water Tank
The Livia GP's side loading water tank keeps countertops in mind, allowing easy fill access even under a low cabinet. Since there is no water tank lid, the cup warmer tray spans the entire top of the machine.

Pasquini Performance Warranty
To get the most from your new espresso machine, make sure to register your machine's warranty before usage.
While our warranty covers any defects in build quality or assembly of a machine, there are some easy to prevent issues that are not covered that we recommend reviewing to ensure you have the best possible experience from day one.
- Damage from calcium. Read our water usage guide and grab a test kit to ensure your water is safe.
- User error and lack of cleaning. Make sure to back flush at least every two week if not more. Grab some cleaning tablets and watch our tutorial on how to properly clean your machine.
- Wear and tear parts. Just like brake pads and tires, some parts just wear out from regular use before the warranty expires. These include parts like gaskets, vacuum valves, and o-rings. Check out our blog post for at home service videos or submit a support ticket for detailed maintenance questions.
- Shipping expenses or travel to Pasquini. While we are happy to ship your repaired machine back to you for free, you will have to get the machine to us first. This can be expensive so we always recommend to buy local when possible.
