Overview
Valexia Duetto II PID Dual Boiler Espresso Machine with Wood Handles
The Valexia Duetto II by Gruppo Izzo, originally located in Naples, but now near Rome, is the newest dual boiler espresso machine at 1st-line, as of November 2019! Furthermore, this machine is excellent to use in a home kitchen, small office, or for light commercial use. Moreover, top-notch materials contribute to the espresso machine’s beautiful view on the outside with the use of advanced functions on the inside.
Additionally, the name “Duetto” comes into use due to the unit’s incredible dual boiler system, where one boiler produces the steam coming out and the other boiler produces temperature stable water for the espresso coffee coming out. Also, its phenomenal PID system controls the temperature of both boilers. Finally, you will enjoy its silent vertical positioned rotary pump, a quiet SSR Power Relay, and its switchable lever from water tank to direct plumb.
The E61 brass grouphead is incredible for its espresso-making capabilities! The small lever and portafilters offer a fantastic look in wood.
The Valexia is a beast! The Izzo drip tray gives off character of brute force! Thus, once you own the Izzo Valexia dual boiler espresso machine, you will know why!

Notes
General Espresso Machine Notes/Warnings:
- Upon first use (tank/reservoir models): On the initial start-up (or after a long period of non-use), it is important to make sure the pump is removing water from the tank. When the machine is powered on, you will hear the pump running. After 5 seconds, squeeze the in-line hose in the tank (usually the longest hose, has a particle filter attached). if you hear a different sound, this means the pump is working correctly. If not, immediately power down the machine and contact us. For more information, visit this page General Manual Pump Priming.
- Electrical: To avoid electrical damage to this espresso machine which is not considered a manufacturer's defect, please acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher. Without the recommended surge suppressor, the espresso machine can be damaged at the power switch, the electronics, the heating element, the pressurstat, or the wiring inside. For more information, visit this page Power Protection.
- Water: To increase the useful life and not damage your espresso machine, please use softened water. Softened water is water without calcium and magnesium, but still has other minerals for espresso extraction. Do not use distilled, purified, or reverse osmosis water as these types of water create oxidation with the metals and cause the same damaging effects as limescale. For more information, visit this page Water Choice.
- Descaling: We do not recommend descaling unless there is an issue with the espresso machine. Too much descaling can eat away at the metals and gaskets inside an espresso machine. As a preventative measure, we recommend using softened water as explained in the bullet point above.
- Backflushing: This procedure of cleaning the grouphead will need to be performed from time to time. For more information, visit this page Espresso Machine Backflush – Why 50?

Sorry, we do not at this time.
Can you please advise if the valexia duetto 20 amp has a setting for 15amps as well?
I am not sure we have wiring for 20 amps which I will need to check. We are in NJ but in an older house.

Sorry, machine is 20 amps only as the powerful 1400 watts on the steam boiler will be too close to the maximum 15 amp rating when the steam boiler powers on.
Is this able to switch between 15 & 20 Amp modes like the Alex Duetto IV?

Sorry, it is not. Power goes to one boiler's heating element at a time. Both boilers will never be both powered at the same time. 20 amp is optimal for the Valexia Leva Duetto dual boiler espresso machine.
