BezzerA makes 80% of its parts, which are made to exceed commercial specifications.
Main Features
Commercial Class Spring Lever
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.
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
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.
Less Cleaning
The Bezzera Strega requires no daily backflushing nor washing the brew chamber with grouphead detergent.
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
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
Extra safety Components
Full suite of safeties used in the Professional line used in Bezzera’s commercial machines. Including pressure sensors, water probes, vacuum relief valves, overheat cut-off switches and emergency safety valves with auto boiler refill.
2L Heat Exchanger COPPER boiler
A larger boiler improves the thermal stability of coffee machines, 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
Simplified Engineering design
In this version, the machine is designed to have more mechanical parts than electronic components. Giving it higher resistance against electrical damage and less vulnerable points of failure.
Designed for perfection
Bezzera’s engineering
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.
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.
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.
