La Pavoni Cellini Evolution vs Sanremo Cube
Technical comparison · Heat exchanger
Two heat-exchanger machines, both able to connect to the water mains. What decides it is the build: E61 group, rotary pump and copper boiler on one side; thermosiphon group, vibration pump and stainless steel boiler on the other. Dimensions and capacities are manufacturer-stated values.

The differences that matter
- E61 group and rotary pump against thermosiphon group and vibration pump → two different builds of the same architecture, neither one ahead
- 2.9 l tank against 1.8 l → fewer refills if the machine isn't connected to the mains
- Depth 43 cm against 32.3 cm, width 29.5 against 33.6 → decides which counter fits
- Copper boiler against stainless steel, 23 kg against 27.7 kg → the Cube is the heavier one to move
Which one to choose
Choose Cellini Evolution if…
The counter has depth to spare and coffee is made in several rounds through the morning: the 2.9 l tank means fewer refills when the machine isn't plumbed in. The trade-off is footprint: 43 cm deep against the Cube's 32.3 cm.
Choose Cube if…
The worktop is shallow but wide enough for a 33.6 cm front. You accept a 1.8 l tank, refilled more often without a water line, and 27.7 kg to move against the Cellini's 23.
