The La Valentina is part of the new breed of espresso machines designed for the home, while borrowing many elements from full commercial machines.

Scott S (quality: 7.4) 05.09.2004 Rating: 10.0
Bottom Line: La Valentina is superb and the BEST in its class- hands down winner over ECM Giotto, Exobar, Isomac (any), Pasquini Livia, and Wega MiniNova or others at this price point!

Bottom Line: The Italians, who are passionate about their coffee refer to the four M's when making espresso. One M is "macchine", or machine. Consider this one seriously when making your purchase.
