VBM Vibiemme - portafilter machines with history

VBM, pronounced Vibiemme , was founded by Ernesto Valente in the late 1960s. Valente had previously worked for Faema and was the inventor of the E-61 brewing group. The E-61 brewing group revolutionized espresso machine technology. For the first time, an electric pump was used to build up the required brewing pressure. The system with a boiler and heat exchanger as well as a massive brewing group with an integrated pre-infusion chamber was the basis of our modern coffee culture.

In 1978, the developers at VBM were the first to build the E-61 brewing group into a small, compact espresso machine - what was intended as an experiment quickly captured the hearts of espresso lovers all over the world as the legendary Domobar espresso machine and brought a real espresso experience into the home. The Domobar is still being developed today and is now equipped with multi-boiler technology with the Junior 2B.

Multi-boiler in the smallest space

The Domobar Junior 2B is probably the most compact multi-boiler machine on the market. A 0.6 l brass boiler is responsible for preparing the coffee and a second boiler with a capacity of 0.75 l provides plenty of dry steam to froth milk very finely for coffee specialties. The two heating systems work quickly and effectively, so that the machine is ready for the first quick coffee after just 10 - 12 minutes. After about 20 minutes, all of the attachments and the massive E-61 brewing group are heated through and the Damobar Junior 2B delivers very consistent results when brewing.

The patented VBM E-61 brewing group

In 1961, the massive E-61 brewing group developed by Valente for Faema and the associated dual-circuit technology was a true revolution that is still used in many espresso machines today. Since then, multi-boiler technology has been the first real innovation in the field of espresso machines. Steam and coffee water are prepared in separate boilers and are built in completely separate systems. VBM uses the perfection of the E-61 group in conjunction with multi-boiler technology, thus combining tradition and innovation. Multi-boiler technology improves the result through better temperature control and saves energy.

For every day

The Domobar Junior 2B is a coffee machine for every day - simple and perfect for espresso or other coffee specialties. The equipment is very impressive and that despite very compact external dimensions. On the inside, however, the Domobar Junior 2B shows real size: boiler volume and heating output are very well dimensioned. The two separate heating circuits ensure quick heating. The very compact portafilter machine is also, as is typical for VBM, cleanly constructed and solidly manufactured. Particularly intelligent details make this multi-boiler machine a perfect work tool. The brewing group preheating using an optimized thermosiphon ensures that the E-61 group always has the optimal temperature and does not overheat. The desired brewing temperature can be set using a control on the thermostat. The 2.0 l water tank is located under the cup tray and can be easily refilled without having to completely clear the cups every time. The design and the technical equipment with separate boilers for coffee and steam ensure relaxed working and very consistent results in the cup, especially with increased cup output.

Conclusion:

The compact VBM Domobar Junior 2B is perfect for the ambitious barista in the home . It is absolutely well thought out and impresses with numerous practical details, wonderful design with clear lines and beautiful polished stainless steel surfaces. Probably the most compact multi-boiler portafilter machine on the market for the daily "espresso bar experience" at home. A perfect interplay of the traditional E-61 brewing group with the innovative multi-boiler technology.
