Review

This is a great machine, buy it if you are looking for reliability. Mine has seen moderately heavy household use for 4 and 1/2 years (several coffee lovers in the house) and still works like a new one. We entertain often and the machine gets heavy use one night a week. I do not worry about this machine holding up. It is definitely commercial build quality.

How Long Have I Been Using This Product?

More than 1 year

What's Best About this Product?

Build quality and good coffee. Did I say this thing will pull a great shot! The shots are really good after this machine is been on for several hours and good and hot.

Some Helpful Tips For Using this Product:

Backflush twice a week and this machine won't let you down

My Experience With Using This Product:

Connoisseur

The Coffee I've Tried With This Product:

CCM espresso blend and some home roast

Some Improvements I Would Recommend for This Product:

I am not sure. For this class of machine and this price range it is tough to beat. A rotary pump would probably be nice.

Some of the Other Machines I've Used:

Gaggia entry level, Expobar

The Type of Grinder I've Been Using:

Burr

The Make and Model of My Grinder:

Rancilio Rocky

Suitable Environment
If you’re looking for a commercial-grade espresso machine, but don’t require constant use throughout the day, the La Valentina semi-automatic is a great fit. Ideal for offices, small cafés, and specialty shops, the La Valentina is durable enough to handle light to moderate commercial use. Its omni-directional steam wand allows for versatile milk frothing, and its E61 brew group provides consistent temperature throughout the brewing process. Designed with a chic exterior and heavy-duty interior components, the La Valentina semi-automatic espresso machine makes a wonderful addition to any food service or retail environment.

Operation
The La Valentina semi-automatic espresso machine will take some light training to operate, but its controls are relatively simple. Flip the espresso, steam, or hot water rocker switches on the front of the machine on and off to easily control the machine’s functions, and the adjustable pressurestat comes preset for optimal brewing temperatures. Ideal grinding, tamping, timing, and frothing practices come with experience and time, but once learned, the results are worth it. For in-depth information about the brewing and steaming process, please refer to the following articles:
