Heat exchanger with Bezzera's own group head and 1.5-liter brass boiler, 25 cm wide. No PID, but the lowest entry point into a machine that can brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously.
4,7 3 reviewsYou notice the difference to a single-circuit machine on the second drink: no switching, no waiting for steam. Without PID you do not have to adjust the temperature, but you also cannot.
Bezzera's own brew group, actively heated.
Brass combines good thermal conductivity with robustness and has been common in espresso machines for decades.
With a tank the machine does not need a water connection and can be placed anywhere there is a power outlet.
58 millimeters is the most common size.
Before full pressure the coffee grounds are pre-wetted with low pressure.
The vibration pump is the most common type for home use: compact, affordable, reliable.

Bezzera's own brew group, actively heated. Be careful with accessories: the portafilter connection is different from an E61, they are not interchangeable. Tampers and levelers still fit, because their size refers to the basket, not the group.
The vibration pump is the most common type for home use: compact, affordable, reliable. It is audible, namely for the duration of the extraction, about half a minute.
Brass combines good thermal conductivity with robustness and has been common in espresso machines for decades. As with copper, water hardness determines how often you need to descale.
Before full pressure the coffee grounds are pre-wetted with low pressure. This is done mechanically through the design of the brew group, without electronics and without adjustments. It prevents channeling in the puck, that is spots where the water breaks through too quickly.
With Flow Control you manually control how quickly the water runs through the coffee grounds: start slowly, then increase pressure. That takes the edge off acidic beans and gives you an extra adjustment. Without Flow Control the extraction runs at a fixed pressure, and that is enough for most recipes.
With a tank the machine does not need a water connection and can be placed anywhere there is a power outlet. For that you have to refill, and the water quality is in your hands: filtered or soft water reduces descaling.
58 millimeters is the most common size. Baskets, tampers, levelers and distributors are available for it from many manufacturers, so you are not tied to an unusual size or a single supplier.
The top surface of the machine is warmed by residual heat. A prewarmed cup draws less heat from the espresso, and those last degrees decide whether it still tastes the same in the glass as in the cup.
The machine switches itself off after a set time or goes into a low-power state. That saves electricity when you turn it on in the morning and then forget about it during the day. Without standby it stays on until you switch it off.

Three varieties that we have dialed in on exactly this machine. Start recipe included.
All coffee beans in our range are organic.
Hochlandjuwel organic coffee Ethiopia Guji, NaturalTastes like berry compote with a chocolate finish. Rosehip and cherry on the first sip, followed by pronounced blueberry, dark chocolate in the finish.
Start recipe: 17-18 g → 34-43 g (1:2 to 1:2.5) in 27-30 s
Hornisgrinde Organic Espresso, Single Origin BrazilMarzipan on the first sip, followed by milk chocolate, vanilla in the finish. Round body, soft texture, very little acidity.
Start recipe: 17-18 g in the double basket → 36-40 g (Brew Ratio 1:2 to 1:2.3) in 28-32 s
Mount Everest organic espresso blend from five originsChocolate base from Brazil, bright stone fruit from Ethiopia, clear fruit and structure from Honduras, syrupy depth from the Indonesian Gayo...
Start recipe: 17-18 g in the double basket → 36-40 g (Brew Ratio 1:2 to 1:2.3) in 28-32 s
Beans ship free with the machine and come from the same roast week.
Wiedecent Tamper V6 58.35 mmThe tamper supplied with most machines is made of plastic. A properly fitting tamper fills the portafilter basket to the edge, and it is exactly there that you find out whether the water will flow through evenly.
Brewing group brush with wooden handleRun it through the brew group once a day, two minutes of work. Without that, coffee oils build up on the shower screen and the extraction becomes uneven long before you taste it.
PULY Caff Powder NSFBackflush with a blind basket every one to two weeks. This removes the coffee oils from the group head and valve that the water jet does not reach.
NuovaPoint Asti espresso cups, 6-piece setSix espresso cups with saucers, 68 ml: the size that also accommodates a double shot.

The Bezzera BZ10 espresso machine is primarily designed for preparing espresso and milk-based coffee drinks such as cappuccino. It may be able to make filter coffee, but it is not specifically optimized for that brew method and its advantages are more in the area of espresso and milk-based drinks. Therefore it would be advisable to consider a machine that is specifically designed for filter coffee preparation.
The BZ10 regulates the boiler temperature via a pressure switch and does not have a PID system. For light roasts, targeted temperature management through flushes helps; this requires some practice. The electrically heated BZ brew group is ready in about 10 minutes, making it faster than classic E61 groups. Those who desire particularly precise temperature control should consider a model with PID, such as the Duo DE.
The BZ10 has mechanical pre-infusion, the vibration pump gradually builds pressure. You control the group with a button: pressing starts the extraction, pressing again stops it. It does not offer programmable pressure profiles or flow control. The brewing pressure is fixed at 9 bar (adjustable via the pressure relief valve). The dual manometer shows brew and boiler pressure. For variable pressure profiles, you would need a machine with a rotary pump and flow control.
The Bezzera Duo DE model features two separately controllable boilers, allowing for more precise temperature control than the BZ10. The Duo DE has manual brew control. Information on the heating time compared to the BZ10 is not available.
The weekly cleaning of the BZ10 is less labor-intensive than that of a classic E61 brew group. For the BZ10, backflushing with a blind filter and coffee grease remover is sufficient, as the brew group is permanently installed. Unlike the E61, you do not need to remove the shower screen or disassemble the brew group for the BZ10. You place the portafilter and filters in cleaning solution for both models during the weekly cleaning. Also pay attention to the appropriate descaling intervals according to your water hardness.
The BZ10, with a 1.5 liter boiler capacity, is too weak for continuous commercial peaks. With 50 cappuccinos in a row you will experience waiting times when steaming, because the boiler needs to reheat between uses. For your scenario you need a multi-group machine such as the Bezzera Matrix DE (2-group, volumetric dosing) or at least the Magica with a 2-liter boiler. The BZ10 realistically manages 10 to 15 drinks per hour, after which you will need breaks. It is suitable for small cafés with under 100 drinks per day, but not for rush-hour operation.
The BZ10 needs about 10 minutes to reach operating temperature. With the electrically heated BZ brew group it is faster than classic E61 machines. During the warm-up phase you cannot work yet, the two-circuit machine must first reach thermal equilibrium. For commercial operation this means: switch the machine on 15 minutes before opening. If you need to start immediately, you need a machine with fast-heating technology such as the Bezzera Luce S PID or Sole Top PID, which are ready in 5 to 6 minutes.
The BZ10 is 25 cm wide, 43 cm deep, and 39 cm high. You should plan for 10–15 cm of space behind the machine for steam and hoses. If you place a grinder next to it, it will require about 15–20 cm in width. Overall, it is advisable to reserve about 60 cm in width and 50 cm in depth on the countertop. The 3-liter water tank is located on top and can be easily removed upwards.
The descaling effort is normal – with medium water hardness every 2-3 months. The daily cleaning is simple: rinse the brew basket, wipe the shower, let the steam wand steam briefly after frothing milk. This takes 2 minutes and quickly becomes routine. The cleaning effort is low because the technology is simple – no complicated electronic modules.
Alles bestens - effizient, Produkt wie bestellt
Ich bin von der BZ10 begeistert. Super Qualität. Die immer wieder erwähnten Mängel (scharfe Kanten, Wassertank) fallen aus meiner Sicht nicht ins Gewicht.

Mitgeliefertes Zubehör (zB Tamper) vervesserungswürdig.
