Double boilers – the user can operate the coffee boiler alone or the coffee and steam boiler together, however the coffee boiler must be powered on when using the steam boiler Three stage power switch allows user to operate espresso machine with coffee boiler only or both boilers simultaneouslyPID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) allows user to manage temperature control of the coffee boiler . If you are not sure what PID is, here is an overview.Small water reservoir at 1.2 liters allows approximately 20 double shots to be extracted without a refill – refill can occur on the fly while the machine is operating.OPV (over pressure valve) feeds excess water pressure to the drip tray and not the water reservoir – this will allow operation of the direct water connection with having the reservoir fill with overflow water, get moldy, and require constant emptying and cleaning.The drip tray can be drained manually or connected to a drain WITHOUT purchasing any optional kits.Insulation on coffee and steam boilers helps save energyOnly up to 15 amps required without any additional switches or internal adjustments.Commercial-grade motor and rotary vane pump with ability to make a direct water connection or use a water reservoir on the same machine. Includes stainless steel braided hose with 3/8″ male thread.Vibiemme’s Power Management Control System (PMCS) automatically regulates variable power to each heating element. The total amperage draw of the machine will never go over 15 amps using 110-120 volts.Quality Characteristics and Specifications found Vibiemme StyleHeavy duty true Vibiemme E61 group head maintains active flow of water from the group head to the heat exchanger in the boilerProfessional grade brass portafilters – one portafilter with single spout and single filter basket and one portafilter with dual spout and double filter basketCoffee boiler capacity/material: 0.5 liter copper boilerSteam boiler capacity/material: 1.9 liter copper boilerBoiler pressure gauge to indicate steam boiler pressure.Boiler pressure is controlled by the PID which connects directly to the boiler Pump pressure gauge to indicate brew pressure during espresso extraction (reading will vary while not extracting)Multi-directional stainless steel steam wand on left side can be moved in different directionsMulti-directional stainless steel hot water wand on right side can be moved in different directionsPower indicator light on right side indicates when the machine is powered onHeating light on left side indicates when espresso machine is heatingLow water level light in middle indicates when water level in water reservoir in rear is lowThree stage power switch allows user to operate espresso machine with coffee boiler only, with steam boiler only, OR with both boilers simultaneously (awaiting confirmation once shipment arrives)Extremely large stainless steel drip tray which can be easily (slides out with pull of handle) removed for cleaning. Grate stays on machine when pulling out drip tray so that it is one step removal to empty.GICAR branded electronic water level control and reacts to a .02 of C of temperature change in the coffee boilerRotary vane pump and commercial-grade motor is quieter than a vibration pump, but it is more expensive to replace. hence, descaling is importantOPV (over pressure valve opens when too much pump pressure exists) located in rear of machine with easy access when body panel and six (6) associated screws and divider are removed. Although the pump has an adjustment screw for regulation, the OPV is an additional feature to manage overflow that may be caused by overpressure from the water company when the machine is plumbed in.Accessories: Single spout portafilter, single dose filter basket, double spout portafilter, double dose filter basket, blind filter basket for back flushing, plastic coffee scoop, and a common useless plastic tamper (please make sure to order a good tamper)2-Years warranty.
