La Pavoni Cellini Evo PID vs Sanremo Cube
Technical comparison · Heat exchanger
The Cellini Evo PID and the Cube are both heat-exchanger machines for semi-professional use, but with brew groups from different lineages: E61 on one side, a group closer to commercial machines on the other. The choice comes down to the group's ecosystem, not stated performance.

The differences that matter
- E61 group (Cellini Evo PID) vs thermosiphon group (Cube) → the E61 opens up standard prosumer-market portafilters and parts, the thermosiphon comes from commercial machines.
- Rotary pump (Cellini Evo PID) vs vibration (Cube) → the rotary runs quieter, the vibration pump is simpler to service.
- Copper boiler (Cellini Evo PID) vs stainless steel (Cube) → different thermal behaviour while heating.
Which one to choose
Choose Cellini Evo PID if…
The Cellini Evo PID fits the E61 group, the standard with the widest range of portafilters and parts in the prosumer bracket, paired with a rotary pump quieter than a vibration one.
Choose Cube if…
The Cube carries a thermosiphon group of commercial lineage, with a stainless steel boiler instead of the Cellini Evo PID's copper, and a vibration pump simpler to service than a rotary one.
