I'm looking for some high quality Valentina pictures

[Everman]

I'm trying to decide between the Valentina Levetta and the semiauto (tough decision ) I can't really find any high quality pictures of either, just the stuff at 1st line and chriscoffee. So could anyone help me out and post a nice front and side view of either? I think Dan has the semiauto.

-- I'm the same member name on coffeegeek btw, thought I might have better luck here. Thanks!

I've got a decent front view of the Levetta version but I think it's at too high a resolution to post. If you can PM me with your email address I'll send it off to you!

The max upload is 100K. If it's larger, e-mail me and I'll upload it to HB for you. In the meantime, below is a not so great photo of my workstation.

email and pm sent, thanks. Both appear to look great in small pics, so it's difficult to compare. Feature wise they both seem to be the same (besides the lever/switches, and I think the water/steam wands)

oh and is 17.5 inches the lowest you can get it, or can you re-position the legs? It's cutting it really close and even .25 inches lower might help.

The newer Valentina has "stilts" to be NSF compliant. Mine has the shorter legs and is 16-1/2" tall in the back (the legs use 8mm bolts).

I sent the photos to you a minute ago!




Per some of the differences, one thing is that the Levetta has a smaller warming tray -- not a problem for you, as your clearance won't permit cups on the top anyway! Also, on the Levetta you need to remove the entire tray to refill it -- again, not an issue for you because of first comment. Somewhere in my notes to others I have very detailed measurements too -- I'll root around my computer and PM those to you if I can find them. Sadly I am not anywhere near my machine right now!

I'd have to say that the Levetta does have the edge, it looks great with those angles on the top, the front logo, lever, and exposed solenoid. I wonder if I could get the semi-auto's drip tray grating on the Levetta though? I guess I'll call 1st line tomorrow.

Thanks for the pics and info. Hm it would still be nice to get it with direct plumb in with rotary, perhaps I'll do that somewhere down the line.

I see the photos magically appeared! Thank you, Dan!
