Smart & Functional Display Interface
Each group head is equipped with a soft-touch 5-button keypad and a 2-segment digital display that shows shot duration in real time.

Illuminated Design for Style and Efficiency
The VBM Black Moon features integrated LED light blades framing the cup warmer and grid tray, providing visual appeal and practical lighting even in low-light café settings. These lights can be switched on or off independently of the brewing function—adding atmosphere and functionality.
Available in elegant matte black or white, the Black Moon’s lines are softened by bi-dimensional side panels that bring a sense of depth and compactness, without compromising visual lightness.
