Hi there folks,
I have recently purchased a secondhand VBM Domobar Super manual lever HX (2009 model). The gentleman I purchased it from stated that the machine had been serviced less than 12 months ago. It's been a rather large step up from an EM7000 to say the least...
Everything seems to work brilliantly on the machine, but I somehow failed to notice upon purchasing the machine that the Brew gauge is not 'zeroed' correctly. It rests at around 2.5 on the gauge, even when the machine is off. When pulling a shot, it spikes to around 11.5-12.5, the difference between the two figures being about 9 which is where the manual proclaims that it should be during extraction.
Here's an image: Vibiemme Domobar Super Brew Gauge - Imgur - for reference, the machine is OFF here. It sits in the same position when the machine is on as well.
Does anyone have any experience with such issues? Is this something to be alarmed at? It's just bugging me, and the manual has been useless in providing answers.
Any advice you could render would be most appreciated.
