Overview:

Great for the home or office! The Bezzera BZ02S is designed to be left "ON" all day! As the lowest priced heat exchange machine with no coffee buying commitment, you can not go wrong! A powerful pump (EAP5 made by ULKA) and swivel steam wand make the Bezzera one of the few home machines that can brew espresso and steam milk at the same time!

This machine has some of the same components as the Pasquini Livia 90 espresso machine. In fact, we confirmed that the Pasquini Livia 90 is made at the bezzera factory. The boiler, grouphead, brain unit, and relay are identical. Although the Bezzera espresso machines do not sport the beautiful stainless steel found on a Pasquini Livia 90, the pricing on the Bezzera BZ02 espresso machines does make it quite favorable to those customers looking to save money.

Features:

• Automatic water-refill of boiler allows continuous production of delicious espresso, cappuccino, café latte, americano and much more!
• 15 Bar-rated three way solenoid valve relieves grouphead pressure which allows for quick and easy removal of filter handle immediately after extracting espresso
• Zero recovery time - continuously extract espresso, after espresso, after espresso.....
• Large, 1.5 liter copper boiler (0.2 liter included for heat exchanger) allows for continuous production WITHOUT any delay or wait time to steam milk for cappuccino!!!
• REMOVABLE large one gallon (3.78 liter) water reservoir supplies water to the boiler for steaming/frothing milk and to the heat exchanger for making the espresso like the cafes!!!
• Water reservoir particle filter prevents particle contamination and is hidden with a stainless steel top cover.
• True, commercial heat exchanger is pumped fresh water from the water reservoir to the grouphead and filter holder! Water in the boiler is not used to make espresso. End Result: better tasting espresso coffee!!!
• Built-in expansion relief valve to allow excess pump water pressure be relieved into the drip tray to avoid overextraction of your espresso
• High 1200 wattage heating element gives you less than a 12 minute (approx. 9 minutes depending upon voltage) warm-up time
• Vacuum bleeder valve allows machine to be placed on a timer
• Computerized safety switch will turn the machine "OFF" when the water level is low in the reservoir - this prevents heating element burnout
• Additional sensor in boiler prevents electricity to heating element unless heating element is submerged in water - this prevents heating element burnout
• High limit thermal safety device located on boiler/heating element flange prevents electricity to heating element once 115 d C is reached - this prevents heating element burnout
• Quality framework completely powder-coated for anti-rust protection.
• Futuristic-designed body side panels made of ABS for thermal protection, and upper and back panel styled with polished stainless steel for a match in any kitchen or office!
• Removable stainless steel drip tray grate coupled with black lower ABS plastic tray
• Separate built-in water arm (right side of machine) for hot tea, cafe americano, and hot chocolate!
• Swivel steam arm (left side of machine) built with independent steam valve and frothing aid
• Stationary hot water arm (right side of machine) built with independent valve
