Overview
VBM Domobar Super Analogic HX Espresso Machine w/ Flow Control
The VBM Domobar Super Analogic got a fabulous new upgrade to the previous VBM Domobar Super HX model! After all, this new version now has LED lights that appear on the interface when there is a low water level in the tank. Also, the LED lights indicate the power light on the top right. The light never turns off unless the machine is completely off. Moreover, 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. Additionally, the VBM Domobar Super Analogic can operate using a water tank/reservoir or direct plumbing to a water line. The espresso machine comes with a stainless steel braided hose to plumb your machine into your water line. Read more about water treatment options and basic plumbing installation requirements! Finally, VBM has the classic and best E61 grouphead in the industry thanks to its robustness and structure!
Please note the manual has some errors in it from translation:our VBM machine can not be used on a 220 volt outlet as it is 110-120 volt only, the light referenced as for the boiler in the manual is really the on/off light on the top panel, and manual says it can not be hooked up to a water line when in fact our version can be plumbed.

Features
Dual Pressure Gauge
- Dual pressure gauge: The previous model had 2 small separate gauges in each corner of the front panel. The new model features a large dual gauge in the center of the front panel. This makes it easier to read and keep an eye on both. The top half indicates steam pressure. The bottom half indicates the pump operating pressure.
- Indicator lights: The previous model had separate colored indicator lights where you would have to memorize which light indicates. The new model features easy-to-understand indicator lights. The left “water” icon lights up when the water level in the tank is low. The right “lightning icon” lights up when the machine is powered on.
Classic VBM E61 Grouphead
- 58mm: Thermosiphon circulation group in chromed brass, available with manual lever control on the side.
- Constantly heated: Hot water circulates from the heat exchanger through the grouphead and back to keep the grouphead and your portafilter nice and hot. As a result, the grouphead temperature is constant and stable when compared to other groupheads that have a built-in heating element.
- Pre-infusion: The lever next to the grouphead activates a microswitch that turns on the pump to pump water through the coffee grinds. Pulling the lever halfway up will open the valve to allow water into the grouphead without activating the pump. Please note that true pre-infusion requires a direct water connection whereby the water pressure from the waterline creates true pre-infusion.
- NEW Flow control capable: As of 7/1/23 we preinstall a flow control kit on the grouphead ($199 value included!).
Heat Exchange System
- Copper: The boiler is copper, which retains heat better than stainless steel. Typically copper boilers are more susceptible to limescale when compare to stainless steel boilers. Therefore, we highly recommend using a water softener.
- Pull a shot & steam milk at the same time: Steam is always readily available. Hence, there is no wait time going from coffee to steam mode.
- Auto-shutoff: A sensor detects the water level in the boiler. When below the threshold, the heating element shuts off to prevent it from burning out.
Switchable Tank/Direct Water Connection
NEW: Water tank level sensor: An empty tank symbol and a red LED light show up on the top left side of the Digital Interface when it is time to refill your tank.
Quality Design
- NEW: OPTIONAL Colored side panels: The VBM Domobar Super NOW has a variety of side panel designs that you can stylize your machine with. Check out the different colored side panels we have to offer to purchase separately! Panels are not attached to the machine during shipping.
- Synthetic drip tray: The drip tray on this espresso machine is glowing! Less risk of scratches on this material, unlike on metal drip trays. Additionally, the drip tray has a float that tracks the water levels. Dishwasher-safe.
- Ergonomic knobs and levers: Contributes to accurate water dispersion and adds some personality to the VBM Domobar Super!
- Front and feet: Stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish.
Rotary Pump
- Quiet operation: 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.
Steam Wand/Hot Water Wand
- Multi-directional: Allows for more movement and flexibility to steam or get hot water.
- Rubber sleeves: A good portion of the wands are covered with a rubber sleeve which allows you to adjust the wands without burning yourself.
- 4-hole steam tip: Allows for a faster build-up of microfoam.
- Rotational knobs: Allows for easier control of the intensity ramping the steaming power up or down when needed.

The cap needs needs to be removed on the water inlet and the 1/8″ BSPP included hose needs to be connected. The other side is 3/8″ BSPP.
General Espresso Machine Notes/Warnings:
- Upon first use (tank/reservoir models): On the initial start-up (or after a long period of non-use), it is important to make sure the pump is removing water from the tank. When the machine is powered on, you will hear the pump running. After 5 seconds, squeeze the in-line hose in the tank (usually the longest hose, has a particle filter attached). if you hear a different sound, this means the pump is working correctly. If not, immediately power down the machine and contact us. For more information, visit this page General Manual Pump Priming.
- Electrical: To avoid electrical damage to this espresso machine which is not considered a manufacturer's defect, please acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher. Without the recommended surge suppressor, the espresso machine can be damaged at the power switch, the electronics, the heating element, the pressurstat, or the wiring inside. For more information, visit this page Power Protection.
- Water: To increase the useful life and not damage your espresso machine, please use softened water. Softened water is water without calcium and magnesium, but still has other minerals for espresso extraction. Do not use distilled, purified, or reverse osmosis water as these types of water create oxidation with the metals and cause the same damaging effects as limescale. For more information, visit this page Water Choice.
- Descaling: We do not recommend descaling unless there is an issue with the espresso machine. Too much descaling can eat away at the metals and gaskets inside an espresso machine. As a preventative measure, we recommend using softened water as explained in the bullet point above.
- Backflushing: This procedure of cleaning the grouphead will need to be performed from time to time. For more information, visit this page Espresso Machine Backflush – Why 50?

I've had my machine since November 2024 and recently a lot of water discharges from the machine after making espresso. When I make 2 - 2 oz espressos (total of 4 oz in 2 cups), the machine discharges about 12 oz of water into the drip tray. I have to refill the reservoir after every 4-6 cups of espresso. Is this normal, especially since it wasn't doing this when I first got the machine?

We are sorry to read this. There are a few areas causing the spout to fill the drip tray:
a) The grind is too fine and causing the excess water pressure to be relieved through the OPV (over pressure valve). This means the water leaking while the pump is on making espresso, or
b) The OPV has limescale which keeps it open. A descaling process via the tank and descaler (Puly powder or liquid) can be used in conjunction with a blind to clear it, or
c) The boiler refill valve is stuck open with limescale, which results in the boiler refilling and excess water escaping the boiler safety valve.
If the overfilling happens without making espresso, then the boiler refill probe is contaminated. We suggest performing a full descale and using the blind to force solution through the OPV.
Need help replacing a Parker 2 way solenoid on a pre 2020 Vibiemme Domobar Super HX with Rotary Pump. I purchased from 1st-line in late 2019 or early 2020. I love it! I've got a problem with the boiler overfilling and emptying into the drip pan with the power off and the machine plumbed into the house. Thinking the solenoid valve is stuck open, I bought a new solenoid and valve. Do you have any videos or written instructions on the procedure to replace the solenoid? Or short of that can you provide any guidance? Many thanks!

Osmotic pak. We sell them made by BILT.
Can you clarify whether the dimensions listed on the site, especially the depth measurement, refer only to the body of the machine (i.e. from the front of the drip tray to the back) or include extended wands or maybe the mounted portafilter handle? I ask because the numbers make it seem substantially deeper than other machines, while in the images it looks relatively compact.

It is a long machine, and the measurements we take usually do not include the wands, nor the portafilter.
