Is there a semi-automatic function on the la Valentina Automatic, or does everything have to be programmed?

Description
Boasting 4 programmable buttons, the Grimac Royal Falcon La Valentina automatic brings simplicity to the world of prosumer machines. With these buttons, you can program the machine to dispense as much or as little liquid as you would like, so there’s no need to stand around and wait for the shot to finish brewing. In fact, the machine’s heat exchanger boiler makes it possible for you to use this brewing time to froth and steam milk if you choose. The steam wand is mounted on a ball j

Where do find the Cappuccino Master that is shown and discussed in the video?
Also what is the brand of coffee that was used in the video that produced that nice rich looking crema?
Thanks!

what would be the fix for the portafilter backing out while under pressure (and thereby creating an "explosion" of coffee grounds)? I see one other reference to this problem with the la Valentina (on coffeegeek.com) but no solutions. thanks.

I am going to buy the La Valentina Automatic Espresso Machine but I am confused about the three ordering options. The same machine is available as "new", "prosumer", and "commercial" and from what I can tell, they all seem to be the exact same per their descriptions/information. So my question is, is there a difference or are they all the same machine, just listed three different times? I couldn't find serial numbers listed on the specifics of the machine listings and the reason I was wondering was because the "new" listing comes with extras for the same price. After it is all said and done, what I am most interested in is getting the best machine possible and I really don't care about the extras IF there is truly a difference between the listed "commercial" machine and the "new" or "prosumer" machines. The prices are not different either so hopefully you can see why this is a little confusing. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

TechMilanoItalia Katie, sorry for the confusion, but it is in fact the same machine listed thrice (the "New", "Commercial", and "Prosumer" designations are just so that they can be searched out under different categories of machine. The la Valentina is a very nice, solid machine - you won't be disappointed! =)

After 2 years of use, it is taking longer to heat and froth milk. What once was 50 to 60 seconds is now 75 to 80 seconds.
I have cleaned the brew head regularly, but cannot find any instructions on cleaning or descaling the boiler, etc.
What steps should I take?
Thanks

Whole Latte Love Staff You should not decalcify machines that have heat exchanger boilers. Due to the design of the boiler, it would be nearly impossible to remove all of the decalcifying solution short of removing the boiler from the machine and taking it apart yourself - this is not recommended. The best thing you can do to keep your machine clean is to backflush it. This is a simple process that removes coffee oils and residues from the brew group through the solenoid valve. I have provided a link below to our article on backflushing so that you can learn more. In addition, I have linked to Urnex Cafiza and Backflush discs, both of which are necessary for backflushing.

techkathy There is a free flow button on the machine. The top left button that looks like a star or asterisk. is a free flow function on the La Valentina Automatic machine.
