Grimac la Valentina Traditional Espresso Machine (Semi-Auto)
|
You've seen the la Valentina machine by Grimac Royal Falcon before. At your favorite small coffeeshop, in movies featuring smokey scenes of cafes in the back alleys of black and white Europe. A potent combination of industrial style and professional features, the Valentina has a large heat exchanger boiler that enables you to brew and steam at the same time.
This beautiful machine was handcrafted in Italy and features a stainless steel case, nickel plated brass boiler and all nickel plated copper tubing. The stainless steel case features a brushed rear and a polished face that lends the machine a heavy duty look that fits in well in a commercial setting, as well as an elegant look for your home kitchen or coffee bar.

Cons
- Uni-Body Construction - The overall strength and integrity of the machine depend on the wrap-around case. We would have liked to see an iron-welded frame on this beauty
