Fiamma MiniBar???

[d***@gmail.com]

Hello. I've found a nice looking Fiamma MiniBar locally for $250.

I'm having a hard time finding info about it online....

Anyone know the word on this machine? High quality? On par with a
Silvia?

Are parts impossible to find?

Thanks so much.

Maybe searching Faema would be of some help, but with a quick search it did
not do much for me.

Yeah I confirmed it's Fiamma and not Faema.

The model is MiniBar.

It's made in Portugal...

The mystery espresso machine!

Large Portuguese manufacturer, their commercial machines are popular in
Latin Ameria. Best of luck finding parts in the US, their distribution here
has been very spotty.

I've had a Fiamma Mini Bar for about 16 years now. I've never had a
Silvia, but from what I can see, they're about the same quality and
boiler size. The worst part about this brand name is that there's no
info online and parts are hard to get. I finally found a place that
carries parts for Fiammas. Here's the link.

My Fiamma's vapor bulb thermostat finally went bad after all these
years, so I decided to replace the Fiamma with a Gaggia Evolution
(bought it just to play with). The reason I didn't replace the
thermostat is that it cost $65 + S&H and that this machine is so old
that it doesn't have any saftey devices such as a saftey fuse or braker
and no steam thermostat.

I hope this helped!

Fiamma is a manufacturer of espresso machines of high quality. Widely used in professional environments (restaurants, hotels). Exports to many countries around the world. To learn how to buy a fiamma in your country, you can see the contacts on the webpage: http://www.rst.pt/ (English, German, Spanish available).
Do not confuse with Faema, which is another established brand.
