On this page you can find a overview of spare parts which can be used on Vibiemme espresso machines.
The espresso machine company VBM (Vibiemme) was found in Milan in 1976. The founder of the company was Carlo Ernesto Valente. He is mainly famous from a other espresso machine brand called Faema, who are responsible for the introduction of the most used brewing group in the world. E61.
But when Carlo Ernesto Valente founded the espresso machine company VBM he was not on it’s own. That would also give some explanation about the name.
The V in VBM stands for Valente, from Carlo Ernesto Valente. The B comes from Mario Biancolini, he was the former general manager of foreign sales at Faema. And the M comes from Giorgio Merigi, he also came from Faema but he was the former general manager of national sales.
In the 1980’s there came a new shareholder, Pietro Osnato, who wanted to change the complete strategy of the company. The result of this was the VBM Dosatronic, the VBM Replica and the relaunch of the VBM Domobar Super.
