Hi all,
I am considering buying a La Valentina. This machine will be EUR1500 in the Netherlands. Much more than the average price in yhe USA I think. I also got a EUR 1699 offer for a ECM Veneziano A1 . Now I am in doubt what to choose.
Is there anybody around withexperience with the Veneziano A1?

FYI, the Veneziano is a big machine compared to the La Val. Also, it is designed for somewhat high volume use. It is a beautiful machine nevertheless....for some people.....maybe overkill for home use. See if you can find the dimensions and compare. Also, compare boiler size and wattage.

Hi Jennifer,
I found the Veneziano for this price at Ebay germany. www.ebay.de
It was a new machine
Check the size, it is really big. I let it go, because the machine was far to big for the space I have available in the kitchen. And decided to buy a Reneke Techno instead.

Bewitched,
I've heard that the Grimac La Uno is similar; I think that they have the same manufacturer. In Australia, Grinders coffee sell them RRP~$1950 AUD. Uglier, though! You could try looking for this machine locally.
Cosmorexcoffee.com.au in Canberra NSW seem to be the importers of La Val (well Diadema Junior, which is a badge difference) here in AUS. They're really responsive to questions, give em a try. bye Brett
