La Cimbali Microcimbali Vintage Lever Espresso Machine
Item History & Price
La Cimbali Microcimbali Vintage Lever Espresso Machine. Condition is "Used".
Includes portafilter & drip tray (they often go missing)Rebuilt with new gaskets 1 year ago.A few minor blemishes in the paint.Chrome looks great, no rust.Unfortunately these boilers are aluminum & there is a light layer of scale inside. Manually descaled when rebuilt. The scale acts as sort of a protective layer now. Lever sits slightly to the right. I have a feeling I didn’t set something 100% correct w...hen I rebuilt it. It works flawlessly however. Another small issue is the hot water tap. It doesn’t sit in the correct orientation either. It doesn’t leak though which is most important. No leaks in the machine whatsoever. Pulls a great shot, holds a ton of water & heats up fast.The steam wand is very powerful & of the three hole variety so it takes some mastering to get right.Overall a nice vintage Italian spring lever machine.I don’t use it enough to justify keeping it & I want it to got to a good home. It needs special care & won’t stand for neglect or abuse. Wish I could post more photos.Feel free to ask questions.Machine will be partially dismantled for safer shipping. (Lever & piston assembly, steam wand & water tap) If you can’t put it back together you probably shouldn’t be buying it in the first place. Shipping to continental US only!!!
