The newly developed Fast Heating System actively heats the 4 to 6 kilogram heavy brass body of the brew group – switchable via a pressure switch. The result: \u003cstrong\u003eabout 10 minutes heat-up time instead of the usual 20 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e of a classic E61 machine, without compromising thermal stability in operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the polished AISI 304 stainless steel casing works a 2-liter copper boiler in an HX system with heat exchanger. The whisper-quiet rotary pump, the PID-controlled boiler temperature and the shot-timer on the digital display make the machine a home barista solution consistently focused on control. Hardwater connection is prepared as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Fast Heating System: How does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn classic E61 machines, the hot water from the boiler circulates through the brew group by thermosiphon and brings it up to operating temperature – a passive process that typically takes 20 to 25 minutes. The Fast Heat Inox supplements this circulation with an \u003cstrong\u003eelectrical auxiliary heater directly on the brew group body\u003c\/strong\u003e. The switch can be activated when powering up and ensures that the brew group heats actively and in parallel with the boiler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermosiphon stability in continuous operation remains fully preserved – the auxiliary heater supports only the start-up phase. For users who do not want to allow 20 minutes of warm-up in the morning or who activate the machine several times during the day, this is a noticeable everyday benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHighlights at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast Heating brew group:\u003c\/strong\u003e switchable auxiliary heater – approx. 10 minutes heat-up time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eE61 brew group (58 mm):\u003c\/strong\u003e chrome-plated brass, mechanical pre-infusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHX two-circuit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-liter copper boiler, simultaneous espresso and steam extraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePID control:\u003c\/strong\u003e boiler temperature 80–100 °C, digital display with shot-timer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhisper-quiet rotary pump:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 l\/h flow rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater tank 4 liters\u003c\/strong\u003e removable from the top – or hardwater connection (G 1\/8″)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCasing AISI 304 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e polished, diamond-shaped design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePassive cup warmer\u003c\/strong\u003e on the top surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eECO mode\u003c\/strong\u003e standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo pressure gauges\u003c\/strong\u003e for boiler and pump pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is the Sole Top PID Fast Heat Inox the right choice for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fast Heat Inox is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003edemanding home baristas and cappuccino lovers\u003c\/strong\u003e who appreciate the character of an E61 machine but do not want to wait for long heat-up phases.

The heat-up time is thus reduced from approx. 20 minutes to approx. 10 minutes. All other technical components (2-liter copper boiler, rotary pump, PID, casing) are identical. The MN variant is being phased out at the manufacturer specialist trade and replaced by the Fast-Heat version.

Some dealers mistakenly call the machine a dual boiler – the correct manufacturer designation is two-circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow large is the water tank?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe removable water tank holds 4 liters according to the official Bezzera data sheet. Some dealers state 3 liters deviatingly – the correct manufacturer specification is 4 liters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect the machine to the water line?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The hardwater retrofit kit (G 1\/8″) is included as standard in the scope of delivery. A valve on the underside allows switching between tank and hardwater operation. If the mains pressure is more than 6 bar, a pressure reducer must be installed on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I retrofit Flow Control?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Bezzera Flow Control Kit (item number 5900573 in plastic or 5900574 with wooden handle) is compatible with all E61 brew groups. The retrofit enables manual control of pre-infusion and extraction pressure. Price depending on version about 120 to 130 Euro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens if the water tank is empty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn electronic sensor detects water shortage and stops the heater and – after about 120 seconds without water detection – the pump. The mechanical lever system of older Bezzera models is omitted on the Sole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMay I use descaler or citric acid?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The manufacturer explicitly warns against introducing descaling agents, vinegar or citric acid into the water tank – this leads to voiding the warranty. Descaling must be carried out via the hardwater side by a specialist company. To prevent limescale, soft water or an inline water filter is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often must the brew group gasket be replaced?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith normal home use every 1 to 2 years. The gasket costs around 8 to 12 Euro and can be changed by competent users themselves. A complete gasket kit for the E61 brew group including piston and lever gaskets is available from specialist retailers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there an app or Bluetooth control?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Sole Top PID Fast Heat Inox has neither app connectivity nor Bluetooth or WLAN. Operation is entirely manual via the lever, the PID controller and the mechanical switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the steam power sufficient for proper milk foam and latte art?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Sole has a 2-hole steam wand with toggle valve. The steam performance of the 2-liter HX boiler is sufficient for ambitious home latte art. As with any HX system, a short release before steaming is recommended to even out temperature peaks in the heat exchanger. For continuous steaming of several milk jugs in a row, a dual boiler is better suited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow heavy is the machine and how much space is required?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe net weight is 27 kilograms. A second person is recommended for unpacking and installation. The machine measures 415 mm in height, 305 mm in width and 455 mm in depth. Additional clearance above the machine should be planned for top access to the water tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich grinder fits the Sole Top PID Fast Heat Inox?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe machine uses standard 58 mm portafilters. As an entry recommendation the Eureka Mignon Specialita (55-mm burrs) or Eureka Mignon Silenzio is suggested. For more demanding users the \u003ca href=\"\/en-ee\/products\/fiorenzato-allground-sense-modell-2024-gbw\"\u003eFiorenzato AllGround Sense\u003c\/a\u003e (64 mm) or the \u003ca href=\"\/en-ee\/products\/mahlkonig-e64-ws-gbw\"\u003eMahlkönig E65\u003c\/a\u003e are suitable. Important is a finely adjustable espresso grinder with stepless or fine-indexed adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bezzera","offers":[{"title":"Stainless steel \/ Default","offer_id":57010869502217,"sku":"SOLEPMN1IL5HX","price":2605.92,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stainless steel \/ 5 years","offer_id":57010869534985,"sku":"SOLEPMN1IL5HX + GV-E","price":2799.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Default","offer_id":57186629976329,"sku":"SOLEPMN1NG5HX","price":2605.92,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 5 years","offer_id":57186630009097,"sku":"SOLEPMN1NG5HX + GV-E","price":2799.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0854\/2928\/9225\/files\/SOLEPMN1IL5HX_0001.jpg?v=1776972799","url":"https:\/\/niturbohne.com\/en-ee\/products\/bezzera-sole-top-pid-fast-heat-inox-zweikreiser-mit-beheizter-e61-bruhgruppe","provider":"Natur Bohne GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
