Iv seen a machine for sale that the seller doesnt know much about. Its a vibiemme with a couple of big non-sponsor fine coffee badges stuck/moulded into it. Its a typical e61 looking machine with steaming arm on the left and hot water on the right. 2 red buttons and a red light on the bottom and a green light top right with triangular shaped taps for steam/water and one pressure gauge. Would this be a hx machine? How much would it be worth??

Re: What machine is this??
If its a Piccolo its a single boiler, not a HX (correct me if Im wrong!)
What do you like to drink Wynton? Single boilers come with pros and cons, if youre not looking for the pros or not happy with the cons maybe a cheaper one would be better? Or maybe you want a HX?

Re: What machine is this??
I dont believe the one they are looking at is the Piccolo. The Piccolo does not have hot water tap - the one being discussed does.Originally posted by 262E26212B2D4F0 link=1321878509/6#6 date=1321919370If its a Piccolo its a single boiler, not a HX (correct me if Im wrong!)
The one I just saw on ebay that matches the description is a HX. Good machine. Expect it to be filthy inside (and then if its not, its a bonus for you) as an awful lot of 2nd hand machines are - but a thorough descale and backflush should be able to sort it out.
If youre close enough as mentioned above, go and see it and check everything works so then youll know if its likely just an internal clean, or if parts and repairs will need to be factored in.
