Perhaps it's not surprising that an Italian company such as La Pavoni takes its espresso and cappuccino very seriously. The detailed manual and video that come with this professional-style machine spare no small detail while guiding you through the espresso and cappuccino process. With proper equipment, La Pavoni argues, including very fine grounds and a state-of-the art machine, an espresso or cappuccino can be a work of art. Because cafe prices are rising and an improperly made espresso is indistinguishable from mud, it's worth investing the time and equipment required for a rich and truly satisfying espresso experience. For me, one thing that separates a barista-style cappuccino from many homemade efforts is the quality of the foam. The Europiccola produces foam with just right amount of frothiness, although the foam can also be controlled if you prefer less enthusiastic frothing. For top-quality cappuccinos, the machine should be descaled four or five times a year (descaling instructions are included). Made of gleaming chrome, this strikingly attractive machine should not be cleaned with abrasives. --Laura Cuthbert

Editor's note: This item may arrive with water inside from the manufacturer's pressure test. This is a normal occurrence and doesn't point to a problem with the machine. Read more...

Oliver's to celebrate its 35th anniversary with free martinis and crabcakes

22.06.11

Thirty-five years is an eternity in the paint bar so Oliver Lounge has many stories to tell and people to thank.

Here's how they plan to do for them Thursday 35th Anniversary Party - with tuxedo-shirt dress and a cocktail servers distributing crabcakes free and half-size martinis. With live music, free drink and dessert tables. With bartenders stationed around the atrium and the bar slinging drinks.

Oliver is toast for two martini lunches, Murray Stenson and large windows.

The cocktail bar, on the corner of Olive Way and Fourth Avenue, inside the Mayflower Park Hotel, opened as a carnival-theme bar "Carousel Room" in 1949. When Oliver's opened on June 26, 1976, it was one of the most controversial bar debuts in Seattle. The state had just lifted an esoteric law that banned cocktail lounges from having windows (to prevent the public from seeing folks imbibing).
