Vibiemme Domobar Junior Digital Heat Exchange Espresso Machine

Product Description

This machine is an upgrade to the 2010 Vibiemme Domobar Junior. Great small home heat-exchange espresso machine for customers looking to entertain. It runs on 110 Volts, and features a 58 mm grouphead.

The upgrades over the Domobar Junior include a choice of colors in the side panels (these come at an upgrade cost), and a new digital OLED display which allows you to program all settings in a simple way.

The Heat Exchange Systems features a copper boiler. Since copper is susceptible to lime-scale, we recommend using softened water in your system. The system also allows you to run the steam at the same time that you’re pulling a shot.

The Tank/Reservoir system features a water-level sensor. A red LED light and an “Empty Tank” symbol shows up on the digital interface when you need to add water. The system contains a particle filter. It also has an “Auto-Shutoff” switch that will turn off the heating element when the water is too low.

Machine comes with a manual, a plastic tamper, a coffee scoop, a group brush, and single, double, and blind filter baskets.

• WATER WARNING: To increase the useful life of and not damage your espresso machine, please use softened water. Softened water is water without calcium and without magnesium, but still has other minerals for espresso extraction. Do not use distilled water, purified water, nor reverse osmosis water as these types of water create oxidation with the metals and cause the same damaging effects as lime-scale.
• DESCALING WARNING: We do not recommend descaling unless there is an issue with the espresso machine. The reason is that too much descaling can eat away at the metals and gaskets inside an espresso machine.
