    Re: What machine is this??

    Gday Wynton,

    Got my hands on the Vibiemme today - its a great machine! Doesnt look like its had much use and wasnt very clean but after some buffing, polishing, 2 back flushes and a couple of water tanks full of water Id actually consider drinking something from it! It doesnt seem to have much scale although it would benefit from a de-scale which Ill attempt in the next few weeks.

    Whilst its probably too early to claim its the best machine ever, its certainly impressed me greatly after today. Hopefully it will prove as realiable as it is magnificent to look at  ;D

    Ive attached a few photos

    Back flushing in progress


    All clean and ready for a shot!


    This is the sink shot after backflushing and my first attempt at steaming some milk on this beast! Its not the best art but respectable for first attempt

          Yeah they were just stickers - I think it looks much better without them! I still have a plumbed in bezzera bz99 which will most likely go up for sale soon. It too is a beautiful machine but sadly it wont be able to be plumbed into our new house when we move in 6 weeks time - hence the need to get a machine with a tank.

            Well done on the purchase. I was looking at that machine as well. Assume it is a HX - did you find out its age? I could not find any photos of a Vibiemme that looks like yours other than the Piccolo. Perhaps a Piccolo with hot water added?
            I ended up buying a Vibiemme Domobar Super Electronica and like you love this new machine. Cleaned and des called it today and wow, it does make good coffee.
            Well done on your purchase. Funny, I just sold my BZ99s as well....
            This coffee trip is good fun;-)

              Its a domobar super model 2003 but purchased in 2005. I believe it is the preceding model to yours. It has very similar specs and is a hx, just styled like the piccolo.

              Agreed this coffee experience is fun
