The La Cimbali M39 espresso machine was one of the flagship espresso machines of La Cimbali. This was for it’s time quite a revolutionary espresso machine. This machine was in some configurations available with turbosteam and a automatic milk frother.
The La Cimbali M39 espresso machine has in total 3 different versions, the La Cimbali M39-GT is seen on this website as a different model. Seen it is technically a different machine.
The La Cimbali m39 espresso machine is build in a configuration ranging from 2 brewing groups all the way up to 4 brewing groups, which ways a total of 125kg. This is the case for all the versions. You do also have a tall cup version of this espresso machine.
On each side you have a steam tube, which can be controlled by the hand knobs on the left and right side. There is a option for the Turbosteam, this is the automatic steam wand. With this you only have to place your milk pitcher underneath it and it will froth up the milk automatically.
There is also a option which uses a automatic cappuccino maker, this is installed instead of the left steam tube. The frothed up milk is dispensed straight away in the espresso.
Model versions
There are in total 3 main versions which are the:
The La Cimbali M39 Classic is the base model of the M39 Series. This is the manual version of the La Cimbali M39, so you won’t find a flowmeter in this espresso machine. This espresso machine has been made in 2 to 4 brewing groups, with the option of stainless or a gold colour.
This La Cimbali M39 version is in a lot of items similar to the Cimbali M39 Classic, but in a lot of items also completely different. This espresso machine contains flowmeters for the volumetric dosing, without flowmeters it is not possible to create pre-set volumes. This espresso machine can also be fitted with a automatic milk frother and the Cimbali Turbosteam.
The M39 Dosatron ThermoDrive espresso machine is in almost everything identical to the La Cimbali M39 Dosatron. But this version has been fitted with the ThermoDrive system, which makes it easier to adjust the temperatures of every individual brewing group.
The advantage of the parts on the Cimbali M39 is that most of the parts are used on various other models of the M39. There are off course a variety of spare parts which are solely used on the M39.
The portafilters used on the brewing groups of the Cimbali M39 are just standard Cimbali portafilters. Which makes that a easy choice. But you do need to take in account that some models, such as the Cimbali M23 UP, use Faema portafilters. These can’t be used on this brewing group.
The brewing group used on the Cimbali M39 is a standard heat exchanger brewing group which you will find on most Cimbali espresso machines. Note not on the M39 GT, seen this is a boiler brewing group.
Seen it is such a standard brewing group, most of the replaceable parts on this brewing group are generic spare parts. Which are widely available.
There are various procedures to keep your Cimbali M39 clean. They can be divided into various categories
The steam tube and Turbosteam tube do need to get cleaned every single day. You don’t want that the steam tip holes get clogged up. Which makes it more difficult to clean. Besides that it is not hygienic to leave old milk residues behind. For that you need to fill a milk jug with water and Brooks Milkcleaner and let the steam tip and tube soak into it. This will loosen the milk and you will be able to clean it off easily. Rinse afterwards with clean drinking water.
The automatic cappuccino make, if you have one installed, is notorious that it get’s mould into it. You do need to do this every single day you have used it. Take a milk pitcher and run a cleaning solution of Puly Milk true it. Every single week you need to disassemble it and clean it manually. Seen it is possible that milk residues remain behind.
The cleaning of the brewing groups on a M39 espresso machine is quite basic. You take a portafilter, install the rubber filter inside the basket. Add Puly caff to the basket and start the cleaning/backflush process. After this rinse with water.
After this you do need to clean the drain tray. Make sure that you also clean underneath the drain tray. Seen it is, from our own experience, that the lid of the electronics starts to rust.
Brooks Parts sells a variety of spare parts for the La Cimbali M39 espresso machines. This can be OEM/original spare parts or after market ones. If you can’t find the part your looking for we can get you the right parts. Take in account that the lead times for OEM spare parts can be quite long with La Cimbali.
