Introducing the all new Super series of espresso machines by VBM. Constructed from premium metals and packed with features including pre-installed flow control. Additionally, all three models can operate using a water tank/reservoir or direct plumbing to a water line. Included with any of the three espresso machines is a stainless steel braided hose to plumb the machine into the water line.
Analogic
Starting with the VBM Domobar Super Analogic, which got a new upgrade to the previous VBM Domobar Super HX model! Now has LED lights that appear on the interface when there is a low water level in the tank. Additionally, unlike the previous VBM Domobar Super HX that has a vibratory pump, this new version has a rotary vane pump, which makes the espresso machine much quieter in use.
The VBM Domobar Super Analogic is equipped with a quiet rotary pump. Rotary pumps are necessary for direct connect capable machines since vibration pumps cannot handle the incoming water pressure. The main benefit that you will experience is that they are a lot quieter.
The boiler is copper, which retains heat better than stainless steel. Typically copper boilers are more susceptible to limescale when you compare to stainless steel boilers. Therefore, we highly recommend using a water softener. The manufacturer wraps the boiler with insulation for maximum heat retention.
Digital & Electronic
Both the VBM Domobar Super Digital and Electronic models now have pressure profiling, so customers are able to control the brew pressure (flow of water). It also has a new digital touch display to use the pressure profiling as well as other settings.
The VBM Domobar Super Digital and Electronic models are equipped with a dual boiler system. The dual boiler system has a copper boiler for espresso extraction and a copper steam/hot water boiler. Optimal size copper boiler of 0.5-liter capacity. This smaller boiler size allows for quicker displacement of stale water. Larger coffee boilers for machines in this class have more difficulty. Boiler temperature is controlled by PID. Large capacity steam boiler of 2 liters. Boiler and temperature controlled by PID. Pull a shot & steam milk at the same time, as steam is always readily available. Hence, there is no wait time going from coffee to steam mode. Works well if entertaining a small group of people.
The Digital models feature manual operation instead of electronic operation through the digital display. For example, starting the machine up as well as preparing coffee involve manually lifting the lever instead of selecting icons, although the settings being changed will appear on the digital display. The Electronic model has additional electronic programs within the upgraded 3.5″ digital display! Allowing the user to adjust the brewing times for single short or long coffee and for two short or long coffees.

The Amazing Eureka Mignon Zero
Purchased Red Mignon Zero 9/5. The ordering was very easy, the grinder arrived in less than a week. This was a pleasure to buy from Comiso.
I just love the grinder. It is well built and operates smoothly without any significant noise. It is very easy to use. After I dialed the grind it stays very consistent. There is very small amount of coffee retained in the machine thanks to the blower. The adjustment for the grind is continuous and very fine. A couple of things I would improve: the markings on adjustment knob are hard to read, and the holder for the supplied dosing cup is just too flimsy. But these are nitpicks really, I could live with what I got.
I purchased a VBM about ten years ago. And original domo bar! We used that thing almost daily. Our water supply was well water so as you may imagine, it had plenty of minerals and was hard which required some flushing with vinegar on occasion. We never had one problem with that machine. It produced 1,000s of shots of espresso. Last week the on and off switch malfunctioned which would have required extensive repairs and considering the age and wear, decided to move on. I’m a stickler for common sense quality and that machine has served us well. Nothing but high praise for that product. It was one hell of a tank of a machine!
Simplicity and beauty at its best. Quiet and easy to use. My only complaint is no easy timer reset if you stop it mid grind, otherwise simply amazing. I am selling my other high $ grinder and replacing it with this one. Don't hesitate to purchase. Well done LP!
Great customer service and easy order tracking. The machine itself is an absolute joy to work with. It's been a learning process as I was previously using a Breville Bambino, but the process has been super fun.
This is a great machine and good value. It's sleek design and easy operation makes this a great choice for the home. Couldn't ask for more out of a espresso machine.
Purchaed a Royal OTC. Nick was extremely prompt in his communications and the machine arrived quickly and in excellent condition.
The machine brew a fantastic cup of coffee or espresso. Would buy again. Have not tried their coffee yet.
What a great machine. First thing you will notice is just how much extra steam pressure this provides when compared to a BBE. Pid temp control is awesome and the heat up time is under 15min.
This is my first manual espresso machine after starting with a cheap full auto and later upgrading to a semi-auto BES870XL. I love the sheer amount of control that I have over my shots, from the pressure the machine brews at to the amount of water that goes into the shot (more so with a double), pre-infusion time, and flow of the steam coming out of the wand. It takes a lot of time getting dialed in right to produce a good shot, and I am still working on my technique, though it has improved greatly in the past few weeks that I've had this machine.
Out of the box:
I'll start with the most disappointing thing for anyone who reads this: The tamper this machine comes with is a cheap, flimsy, plastic 48mm disc that doesn't even cover the surface area of your 49mm portafilter. If you don't have one already, save yourself the extra wait and get yourself a nice, heavy 49mm tamper when you buy this (I got a solid stainless tamper by Silmur and it's perfect) and throw the plastic one into the trash upon arrival.
Now for the good: Everything was well-packaged in molded styrofoam to minimize the chance of impact damage. Everything came out looking shiny and beautiful with no damage. Assembly was pretty straightforward, and the owner's manual gives you just enough information to get started. Disclaimer: the manual does not tell the user how to adjust the pressurestat if you find that your machine is not in the right zone out of the box, or if you really want to fine-tune your extraction. But fear not: simple but tedious pressurestat adjustments are a quick Google/YouTube search away (butter knife and small ratchet with phillips and flat head bits to get the job done not included).
Brewing with this bad boy requires a ton of patience. If you're new to manuals, do not expect to pull amazing shots right away. Even semi-autos have their nuances, though not nearly as many. First, make sure that you can see the meniscus (that bottom line at the top of your water) in the sight glass. This will ensure that your boiler is neither under nor overfilled. It doesn't take long to heat up and get to pressure. Once it's ready to go, the rest is up to you (take lots of notes; it helps!). After a few weeks of active use, I've just about gotten it down (until I get different beans, that is). The steam wand is another well-designed piece of this machine, and produces the silkiest microfoam I have ever made. You control the output, and it is immediate steam on demand. Do let some out to get the wand up to temp and avoid it shooting straight hot water into your pitcher before frothing it up. Back to brewing: It does seem to run a bit hot, and I've read that the general consensus is that the ideal brewing temperature is right when it gets up to pressure, and then after that the user should to apply a cold cloth to the groupset to keep temperatures down and avoid burnt shots. I'll start following that advice and see how my extraction improves.
I've been having a ton of fun with this machine, and don't think I could ever go back to anything short of a manual espresso machine after this experience. It's definitely one of my favorite additions to my coffee-making collection, and I'll probably love it even more when I finally do pull that perfect shot.
