Vibiemme Domobar Super Switchable Espresso Machine - rotary pump

The Vibiemme Domobar Super Switchable HX can be used as a stand-alone tank/reservoir model or make a direct connection to plumb into a water line by simply moving the lever on the bottom of the machine.

Its quiet rotary vane pump is larger than the vibration pump found on many home model machines. This machine features a manual three-way valve below grouphead that allows the removal of the portafilter handle from the grouphead immediately after espresso extraction has terminated. 

VBM Domobar Super Switchable Features

• Insulation on inner wall between water reservoir and internal boiler.
• True Faema E61 grouphead is heaviest in its class and maintains active flow of water from the grouphead to the heat exchanger in the boiler.
• The heat exchanger allows you to make espresso after espresso until water reservoir is emptied.
• Professional grade brass portafilters – one portafilter with single spout and single filter basket and one portafilter with dual spout and double filter basket.
• Removable 2.1 liter pour-over water reservoir.
• Boiler pressure gauge to indicate boiler pressure (reading will vary between .8 and 1.2 bar pressure). The setting can be varied by adjusting the full size pressurstat through the access port under the cup warmer tray on top of machine.
• Pump pressure gauge to indicate brew pressure during espresso extraction (reading will vary while not extracting).
• Multi-directional stainless steel steam wand on left side can be moved in different directions.
• Multi-directional stainless steel hot water tap on right side can be moved in different directions.
• Power indicator light on right side indicates when the machine is powered on.
• Heating light on left side indicates when espresso machine is heating.
• Low water level light in middle indicates when water level in water reservoir in rear is low.
• Three stage power switch allows user to fill internal boiler without sending power to the heating element (prevents damage upon initial start up).
• Full-size Parker pressurestat (rated as one of the best boiler pressure regulators) monitors boiler pressure.
• Extremely large stainless steel drip tray which can be easily removed for cleaning. Grate stays on machine when pulling out drip tray so that it is one step to empty.
• 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.
• Rotary vane pump provides quicker ramp up pressure at start of espresso extraction and is quieter than vibration pumps.
• Largest OPV (over pressure valve opens when too much pump pressure exists) located in rear of machine with easy access when body panel and six associated screws are removed.
