For Sale is my 1960's Faema Lambro Lever.
The Lambro is a beautiful machine and it’s capable of producing outstanding shots, it features the faema zodiaco thermosyphon head, I think its on-par with any modern machine for shot quality.
I imported this machine from Italy around 2009 (you’ll find a snobs thread on the resto), I always had the intention of the Lambro being a keeper, my life-time machine, but my interests have moved on and the Lambro hasn’t been getting any use for the last couple of years and its time for it to get a new home.
When I restored the machine I wanted to retain its charm of being almost 50 years old, a true vintage machine, so externally I retained the original paint work and original blue perspex on the warming shelf just polished everything up. But I wanted it to have modern safety features, so I have added professional Sirai pressurestat, new safety valve, anti-vac valve & thermal cut-out switch.
The Lambro was completely stripped down, the frame sandblasted and repainted. The boiler nickel plated inside and out, all lines descaled.
Pretty much if it could be replace it was. Piston seals, Piston Spring, Shower Screen, Group seal, Heating Element, Boiler Seals, Sight glass, Steam & Water Tap valves. The machine has a professionally made wiring harness with the addition of On/Off switch with indicator lights, red for power 'on' green for heater element 'on'.
The 'Lambro features a gas-heating element that I have retained, but not restored to working condition. The machine is plumbed in/out and runs from a normal house power point (240volt / 10amp).
The Lambro is easy to get parts for, Coffeeparts carries every part you’ll ever need to replace.
