What is the Golden Rule?



Very basically, the Golden Rule states that using the correct amount of coffee (based on a single or double shot) should produce a shot of espresso in 20 to 25 seconds. Changing the grind setting or the amount of tamp pressure you are using will change how quickly the shot is produced. Follow the links below to find more in depth discussions of the Golden Rule.

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:
