!!SOLD!!Vibiemme Domobar & La Pavoni grinder

[Fresh_Coffee]

Vibiemme Domobar and La Pavoni grinder For Sale.

The Domobar is the regular 1 group E61 lever group style heat exchanger semi-commercial plumb in jobbie (not the cheaper and smaller capacity domestic version).

Works well, recently serviced as necessary, always used at home and not in a work environment.

Original owner selling due to upgrade to larger capacity new machine & grinder.

The grinder is the domestic type La Pavoni grinder which from memory is quite robust & not a cheap unit to buy new ( ie not one of the $150.00 fantastic plastics you can get these days... this would be more approaching the style of the rocky).

Asking $1000.00 for the pair.

The set up does not belong to me and I am placing this add for my new machine client, and will pass on any replies or private messages so that he can contact you back direct off line ( or on line if he cares to join the group!).

Regardz,
FC.

Re: Vibiemme Domobar & La Pavoni grinder F/Sale

Come on people...

The owner of this gear has advised there still arent any takers.

The new replacement cost of this stuff is around about $2500.00.

Specifically, a Domobar "SUPER" 1 group machine and La Pavoni "JOLLY" grinder.

Get into it, the asking price for the pair will get someone into top end gear for a very modest investment....ie semi-commercial Heat Exchanger equipment with great capacity, and a grinder very "similar" in many respects to a rocky, for less than the outlay on a much lesser new domestic machine & grinder package.

Regardz,
FC.

FC,

If there isnt a taker her for that setup then I think that is a shame.

It is worth $1000 for the Dommobar alone.

I have a picture for you guys.

FC,

Oops cut and pasted the wrong thing for the picture.

Like I say, excellent buying. I would buy it myself but the Bezzera would get jealous.

Any object is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. This fact is one of the reasons that ebay is so popular (which you may want to investigate if you dont get any bites here).

Also the same (at least they look the same) coffee machine is sold at Hudsons for $1000. The new price you quoted of $2500 doesnt seem to match, then again we could be talking about different machines.

Re: Vibiemme Domobar & La Pavoni grinder F/Sale

Gday Nyg...

yup, not the same model.

Domobar comes in more than one model looking virtually identical to the untrained eye, and it has on occasion been a source of confusion for consumers, which is why I confirm the one for sale here is the "Super" with attributes as mentioned.

Cheers,
FC.

Nyg:

Yes, the Domobar talked about is invariably the single boiler model, not the hx. The single boiler one is good for espresso but takes too long to heat for milk drinks.

This one is the hx model. Much better.

FC,

I imagine that this is still a vibe pump though even though it can be plumbed in?

Re: Vibiemme Domobar & La Pavoni grinder F/Sale

I have to agree with Nyg. EBay is the way to go (not the only way, of course) as you are tapping into a bigger market. Not all coffee drinkers are CS members, unfortunately!!

Franjae/Nyg:

There is no doubt he could hock it on ebay but it is good that some reasonable equipment is offered here first.

I think so anyway.

Re: Vibiemme Domobar & La Pavoni grinder F/Sale

Hey there everyone,
I am a complete newbie to using these machines and have been researching the Sivia/Rocky combo for a while.
Do you think this Vibiemme Domobar & La Pavoni grinder would be a good setup for the wide eyed beginner or should I stay away and look for something else.
Cause this setup would save me a few dollars over the Silvia/Rocky combo and that is always a good thing!

Any thoughts would be much appreciated

Cheers

Re: Vibiemme Domobar & La Pavoni grinder F/Sale

This is definitely (did I spell that right?) a good deal!

Might take some time to practice on the machine but it wont be long before you make great shots from this combination.

Perhaps you might want to raise any specific concerns in this thread ...

Too bad I cannot justify the purchase of another machine ....

Re: Vibiemme Domobar & La Pavoni grinder F/Sale

Rosey:

There is an impression that the more expensive or commercial machines are harder to use but the opposite is true.

It is probably much easier to use my 35kg Bezzera for example than it is the Silvia.

Likewise the Domobar will be quite straightforward to use, probably as easy or easier than a Silvia.

It is also possible to damage the Silvia by running the boiler dry but you cant do this on the Domobar.

You are also buying the machine, if you buy it, with FCs blessing and he is a trusted sponsor.

Re: Vibiemme Domobar & La Pavoni grinder F/Sale

This all sounds really good.
Does anyone know of any sites where I can find some info on these two machines. Just so I can do a little research!
Have I got it right that this machine does not need to be plumbed in to be able to use it although it has that option as well. Just need to know this as I am moving at the end of the year and will be renting again so a plumbed in model will not be very handy at this stage.
Also how does this grinder rate against the Rocky for example.

Cheers for any replies

Rosey
