Overview
The VBM Super Electronic represents VBM's most technologically advanced prosumer machine, incorporating electronic brew pressure profiling into their proven dual boiler E61 platform. The machine features a programmable pump controller that allows baristas to set pre-infusion pressure and duration, extraction pressure, and declining pressure phases — all displayed on a color LCD screen. The 350ml copper brew boiler and 2-liter copper steam boiler operate independently with individual PID controllers. The rotary pump provides the smooth, consistent water delivery essential for pressure profiling accuracy. Plumb-in capability with drain line support allows permanent installation, while the 2.5-liter reservoir enables standalone use. The E61 group head is modified with additional pressure sensing hardware for real-time pressure monitoring during extraction. The Super Electronic competes directly with machines like the Lelit Bianca and Profitec Pro 700 but takes a different approach — electronic rather than manual flow control — that appeals to baristas who prefer precision programming over real-time paddle adjustment.
The VBM Super Electronic comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction, pressure profiling for advanced shot manipulation. It features a dual boiler boiler system made of copper with a 350 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.
Priced at $3,500, the VBM Super Electronic is designed for passionate enthusiasts and semi-commercial users who accept nothing but the best. The dual boiler design allows simultaneous brewing and steaming, making it ideal for milk-based drinks without any wait time.
In terms of build quality, the VBM Super Electronic is a substantial machine, weighing in at 32.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 2000W of power. With dimensions of 350 x 500 x 410 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. It offers both reservoir and direct plumbing options for maximum flexibility.
