    We’ll bring the grind setting closer to the proximity where it should work for making espresso using a dark roast coffee. Users may need to fine-tune further. The timer setting will not be set.

    Note the grinder will have coffee after tuning which may spill during transport.

Bezzera Strega TOP Anatomy

Commercial Class Spring Lever – less cleaning

Spring levers are known to be incredibly durable as they rely on mechanical springs than the pump.

Espresso is extracted with a strong pair of springs. As it extracts, the spring relaxes, naturally creating a declining pressure profile that amplifies the notes’ aromatic bouquet.

The Strega requires no backflushing cleaning, as required in most machines.

Explore different flavours

The user can use techniques to bring out different expressions from the same coffee.

With the spring lever, the user can decide when to release the spring to exert pressure during extraction, which has a pronounced effect on the result

Mini Commercial Machine

The Bezzera Strega TOP can be used as a commercial cafe. It’s a professional spring lever machine reduced to tabletop size. The machine is power efficient, does not require special wiring, and could work out of the box using the standard 3-pin plug.

Faster start-up time and Thermal recovery

The machine boasts an accelerated heating system, greatly reducing start-up time. Active heaters maintain the grouphead’s thermal stability in any condition.

Boiler Pressure Gauge

The machine has a boiler pressure gauge, which shows the machine’s readiness and detects whether the machine is heating or has sufficient steam

Water tank or plumb in

The Strega TOP can use the internal 4 litres water tank or connect to a water network for continuous water supply.

2L Heat Exchanger COPPER boiler

A larger boiler improves the thermal stability in the coffee machine’s groupheads, reducing overheating or flash boiling. Huge amount of available steam for frothing milk. Non-toxic with anti-microbial properties.

The heat exchanger can steam milk and extract coffee at the same time

exceptional thermic stability

The Strega has an incredibly consistent and stable temperature profile. This is an unexpected trait in the spring piston system.

During the actual extraction, the temperature remains exceptionally stable

Heavy duty SPARES for long Hours Operation

The Bezzera Strega uses an industrial-grade pressure sensor that can withstand extended hours of operation.

This will be suitable for places like restaurants, offices or cafes that always require the machine on.
The machine is equipped with a full set of safeties as seen on commercial machines

Main Features

Designed for perfection

Bezzera’s engineering

Piantagioni0303

Designed based on the science of coffee

All machines are designed to be homogenized with the Science of Coffee that Italy coffee institutes have heavily studied. The hydrodynamics are designed to achieve the target of achieving well-made espressos with the right parameters using the user’s least effort.

Built like Rolls Royce, Serviceable like Japanese Automobiles.

Bezzera’s designs its systems to achieve the correct thermal and pressure equilibrium by hydraulic designs instead of adding too many unnecessary electronic components, each with a finite lifespan. The more features, the more points of failures.

New features are stress tested and heavily studied to determine if they provide significant real-life benefits or could cause detrimental effects on the machine’s longevity before adding.

FAQ.

What is the difference between Strega and Strega TOP

The standard Stregas are very hardy, but the TOP version brings higher durability.

The TOP can be plumbed in or use its internal water tank.
It is also equipped with a more heavy-duty pressure sensor that can withstand long hours of operation, extending its durability.

The TOP version is a full fledge commercial machine and can be used for longer operating hours.

More videos and Reviews on Bezzera Strega

Contrary to most beliefs, producing a higher-quality espresso with the Bezzera Strega is more manageable than most machines.
It’s reliable. It’s high performing. If you need a machine to satisfy the best drinkers, you will love the Bezzera Strega.
However, the users must be physically able to pull the lever down and be careful of the lever striking back by accident.

Bezzera Strega’s Introduction
Bezzera Strega’s Explanation

Important safety message


Always handle the lever of the Bezzera Strega machine with care, especially during release. The lever can recoil forcefully if water isn’t retained in the brew chamber due to an incorrect grind setting or insufficient coffee.

Pull the lever downward without tipping the machine and ensure the grouphead is not pressurized before removing the portafilter.

This is an example of how much force the lever can strike

Warnings and points to note.

Be careful of hot surfaces, water and steam at all times.

Cleaning and usage guide can be found in the New starter’s guide

Always use water softeners to reduce limescale formation.

Avoid using any power adaptors or extensions to avoid an unstable power supply or overloading.

Do not leave the machine idling unnecessarily, especially for models without PID. Copper boilers reheat quickly, there’s no need to leave the machine always on.

Do not allow vibration pumps to activate for more than 2 minutes.
