New! Vibiemme Domobar Super Models

Vibiemme double boiler PID espresso machines are almost here! After almost 18 months in development at Vibiemme in Milan Italy, the first batch will be available as the "Manuale" lever version with stainless steel body panels, a water reservoir, and vibration pump.

The first U.S. shipment of twenty machines will be delivered in the end of March, 2008. We are accepting pre-orders for a special introductory price of $1895.00.

Due to many customer requests, Vibiemme has also developed a rotary pump, plumbed-in, HX version of the Domobar Super. This model will offer the same reliability as its tank counterparts. Twenty "Manuale" units in Stainless Steel with arrive in the same March shipment. The special introductory price for pre-ordered machines is $1995.00.

It's good to see that there is another choice in the very limited DB "prosumer" market. Not to jump the gun, but do you know if the rotary version will eventually be available in black?

[jasonmolinari]

So the PID dual boiler will use a vibe pump, and not a rotary pump like the HX one?

I t will be the importer decision ( Jim at 1st-line)
but I believe that the black might became a discontinued item in any of the models.

At least for now YES it's still a reservoir unit not a plumb in one

This PID dual boiler with rotary vane pump and direct water connection was slated for this year. Insider news at Vibiemme says that this production may occur in March with possible delivery in late April/May. Just to state, this is BEST case scenario.... so, as much as people want to know news of upcoming events, I do sincerely ask that a) everyone understands this best case scenario, and b) Vibiemme, 1st-line, and I do not get blasted with comments regarding 'vaporware' comments, etc if there are delays.

Currently, pricing has not been determined for this model as the factory has not yet determined costs for us.

Cool Jim. Keep us up to date. This future machine is on my short list to maybe replace my Isomac Tea.
I'll start saving my pennies:)

By my calculations, the machine is 15A, can anyone confirm?

This is exciting! Double boiler, PID, 58 mm portafilter, Vibiemme Quality. I can't wait for HB to do a review on this baby.

Yes ... please keep us posted as soon as news happens on this one.

Just for clarification ... will it have a vibe or rotary pump in pourover model?

Thanks

[networkcrasher]

The pourover is a vibe model

Hi networkcrasher,

Thank you for the clarification.

[mp]

Two questions here if I may ... what is the double boiler version going to be called? Will it still be referred to as the Vibiemme Domobar Super?

The other question is ... are the dimensions and the weight of the double boiler system known?

Thanks

The plumbed-in, rotary vane pump, Double Boiler version will leave Italy at end of March with a delivery into the USA by end of May.

I guess the weight and dimensions of the double boiler are not known as of yet.

When is the pour over vibe pump version slated to come in?

Hey Stefano and Jim

Do you know if the rancilio bottomless designed to fit my E61 Quickmill Anita will fit the VBM?

Thanks!

Yes, it will fit, that's what I use.

[networkcrasher]

I assume that's the same one that fits the Silvia? If so, nice, one less thing to buy.

[HB]

I assume that's the same one that fits the Silvia?

Yes, in fact they're the same portafilter in newer Silvias (i.e., the Rancilio commercial portafilter).
