13 - Cleaning and Maintenance
As with all fine tools, the Vibiemme Domobar Super can give you years of trouble-free service and better
performance if properly maintained. Your Vibiemme Domobar Super does require a bit of care, but it is not at all
difficult.
Although the following guidelines will give you some idea of how often the tasks should be performed,
there is no specific set of rules concerning the frequency of cleaning and maintenance. A machine that is being
used to make two or three drinks each day in a home environment will not need to be cleaned quite as often as a
machine used in an office or restaurant where it is called upon to make fifty drinks a day. If in doubt, it is better
to do cleaning and maintenance chores a little too often than not often enough.
After Each Pull
Knock Puck - After the pull the spent coffee puck in the portafilter should be knocked out. The best way is
to use a knock box. These feature a cushioned bar with a soft surface that protects the portafilter from damage.
Quick Flush - As soon as you remove the portafilter from the grouphead after a pull, cycle the brew function
for about one second or so. This will help flush out any coffee on or behind the shower screen.
Flush Portafilter - If you are not immediately going to pull another shot, replace the portafilter and repeat
the quick flush. Pushing a bit of clean water through the portafilter will remove most of the left-over coffee in
the portafilter. Remove and wipe it off after the flush. If the machine is going to be left on, leave the portafilter in
place so that it can remain warm.
After Each Stretching of Milk - The steam wand must be wiped off immediately after every use with a
damp towel or dish rag after removing the wand from the milk. As soon as the wand is wiped, the steam valve
should be briefly opened and closed to create a blast of steam to force out the remaining milk that may be in the
wand. Allowing milk to sit on (or in) the wand will cause the milk to bake onto the hot metal. This is not only
unsanitary but can also become very difficult to remove. If you do have baked on milk we do not recommend
soaking the wand in a pitcher. This can cause dirty water to be drawn into the wand, and under certain conditions,
possibly into the boiler. Difficult-to-remove milk can be cleaned using Urnex Rinza which is specially formulated
for this task.
WARNING: The steam wand can be very hot. Avoid touching the wand directly and use caution
when wiping the wand. The heat can cause the water on the rag to turn to steam which can cause a burn.
After Each Session
Grouphead - The area where the portafilter locks into place gets exposed to a lot of coffee and must be kept
clean. Coffee residue left here will not only degrade performance over time but can also detrimentally affect the
taste of the coffee.
At the end of each session use the grouphead brush which was included with your Vibiemme Domobar Su-
per to clean the screen as well as to give the area in which the grouphead gasket resides a good scrubbing.
Portafilter - At the end of each session the portafilter should be rinsed under hot, running water and dried
off before storage. While it should be left in place on the grouphead during use, if the machine is being turned
off, the portafilter should be stored elsewhere so that the moisture can evaporate from the grouphead. Otherwise
it can stagnate in there.
Daily Blind Flush- At the end of each day (or when you are through using the machine for that day) you
should do a blind flush:
1) Remove a filter basket from either of the portafilters and insert the blind basket in its place. The blind filter
basket is the one that has no holes in it.
2) Lock the portafilter into place just like you would to make espresso.
3) Manually engage the brew function
