Hi All,
I thought that some people might be interested to hear that Vibiemme are now manufacturing a domestic dual boiler/VBM head machine. The prototypes were at HOST in Milan a few months ago and the first batch of 20 is on its was to the US at the moment.
Personally, the thing that interests me about it is that they seem to be using some of the new gicar temperature controllers, which look pretty nice. The machine uses the same case as the domobar, but puts the temperature display and up/down buttons inbetween the two gauges. What I thought was clever was that the actual brain unit is far removed from the readout - theres a ribbon cable that leads to it.
Of course, its anyones guess what characteristics the espresso produced from this machine has.
Ill go back and add in the relevant links once I find them. This machine has been discussed on the US forums since at least HOST Milan a few months ago.
EDIT: Here is one of the old threads with some of the HOST photos on it: Clicky Clicky.
Cheers,
Luca
