Overview

Known for its history, style, and incredible build quality, Vibiemme has become a coveted machine since its introduction to the U.S. The Italian company based out of Milano, was started by three executives from the legendary Faema company. These men brought along their expertise and patent for the famous E61 grouphead. This commercial size grouphead (named after the year of its invention) is best known for its heavy brass composition for superior temperature stability as well as its passive pre-infusion system. This version of the Domobar series is the Manual Super Heat Exchanger model that must be plumbed directly to a water source.

&nbsp

Highlighted Features

  • Vibiemme's exclusive and original E-61 grouphead provides an active flow of water from the grouphead to the heat exchanger in the boiler as well as pre-infusion.
  • &nbsp
  • The Heat Exchanger allows you to brew and steaam milk simultaneously.
  • &nbsp
  • Boiler and pump pressure gauges.
  • &nbsp
  • Name-brand PROCON pump is attached to a 100 watt motor.
  • &nbsp
  • Multi-directional steam and hot water wands.
  • &nbsp
  • Large adjustable overpressure valve (OPV) which opens when there is too much pump pressure.
  • &nbsp
  • Small lever on side of grouphead allows user to engage/disengage pump and three-way manual solenoid valve to start/stop espresso extraction
  • &nbsp

Standard Features

  • 1.8 Liter Boiler Capacity
  • &nbsp
  • Full size Parker pressurstat (rated as one of the best boiler pressure regulators) monitors boiler pressure (which directly correlates to the temperature)
  • &nbsp
  • GICAR branded electronic water level control for internal boiler is located in lower right rear corner of machine where there is least heat build up
  • &nbsp
  • 41 watt vibratory pump ("vibe" pump) rated up to 15 bar with air valve bypass
  • &nbsp
  • Heavy vacuum breaker valve
  • &nbsp
  • Power, heat and low water indicator lights.
  • &nbsp
  • Low water level light in middle indicates when water level in water reservoir in rear is low
  • &nbsp
  • Large stainless steel drip tray which can be easily (slides out with pull of handle) removed for cleaning. Two way drip tray adapter installed to give you the option of connecting it to a drain line.
  • &nbsp
  • Manual three way valve below grouphead allows removal of portafilter handle from grouphead immediately after espresso extraction has terminated
  • &nbsp
  • Three stage power switch allows user to fill internal boiler without sending power to the heating element (prevents damage upon initial start up).
  • &nbsp
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

Steaming Milk

  • Before turning the steam nozzle, point the end of the steam wand into an empty container or point it towards the drip tray. This is to get rid of any water that might first come out when you turn on the steam wand.
  • When dry steaming begins exiting the steam wand, you can turn it off. You are now ready to start steaming your milk.
  • Do not fill your milk pitcher more than halfway full with cold milk
  • Make sure the tip of the steam wand is fully submerged before you turn on the steam.
  • After you begin steaming, you can raise the steam wand so that the tip is barely submerged. If the tip is submerged too much the milk will begin to squeal meaning it needs more aeration. If you bring the tip too far out you will hear a heavy chirping or sucking sound. This will result in big bubbles and a possible mess.
  • You should aim for slight chirping up until the milk reaches room temperature. At that point you can submerge the tip of the wand to one side of the pitcher to create a swirling motion. Continue this until the steaming pitcher becomes too hot to the touch or a couple seconds after you have to take your hand off of the bottom or side (this should be around 140°).

Accessories:

  • Professional grade brass portafilters - one portafilter with single spout and single filter basket and one portafilter with dual spout and double filter basket
  • Blind filter basket for backflushing
  • Stainless steel braided hose is attached to the Procon pump.
  • Plastic coffee scoop
  • A cheap tamper (We recommend purchasing a 58 mm Prima Coffee Tamper from the drop down menu above)
&nbsp &nbsp

Pros

  • Heat Exchanger provides on-demand steaming.
  • &nbsp
  • Directly plumbed machine means no need to continuously refill a water reservoir
  • &nbsp
  • The manual lever has three positions: off, passive pre-infusion, and full pressure.
  • &nbsp
  • E61 grouphead provides further temperature stability from its thermosyphon circulation and metal mass as well as pre-infusion.
  • &nbsp
  • Premium interior components with the Gicar electronic water level control and the Parker pressurstat.
  • &nbsp

Cons

  • Exposed E61 groupheads can burn if touched while brewing.
  • &nbsp
  • Heat Exchanger units normally need a cooling flush before brewing
  • &nbsp
&nbsp &nbsp

Product Care

  • Plain water backflushing should be done at least once a week. To backflush, use the portafilter's backflush disc. Take out your single or double basket and securely place the blank insert into the portafilter. To perform a plain water backflush, place the portafilter into the group head. Then raise the brew lever all the way up for 15 seconds, and then lower it. Water will forcefully discharge out of the bottom of the group into the drip tray; this is normal. Repeat three to five times.
  • Backflush with detergent like Cafiza (see options above) once every fifty extractions.
  • Warranty: One-year parts provided by US distributor and one year labor (excluding shipping costs) covered by Prima.
