DISCONTINUED Bezzera BZ07 PM PID Espresso Machine

Overview

The Bezzera now with PID temperature control on heat exchanger boiler.

This beautiful and compact stainless steel espresso machine can be a fine addition to any home! There are many benefits and a solid performance that can be found from the following features on this espresso machines:

This machine is classified as a semi-automatic whereby the operator of the machine presses the coffee button to start the espresso extraction and depresses the same button to stop the espresso extraction.

The BZ07’s grouphead houses two electric heating elements and a thermostat to monitor temperature at the grouphead, and the boiler pressure/temperature is monitored by a PID microprocessor and PID sensor in the boiler.

Notes

General Espresso Machine Notes/Warnings:

Upon first use (tank/reservoir models): On the initial start-up (or after a long period of non-use), it is important to make sure the pump is removing water from the tank. When the machine is powered on, you will hear the pump running. After 5 seconds, squeeze the in-line hose in the tank (usually the longest hose, has a particle filter attached). if you hear a different sound, this means the pump is working correctly. If not, immediately power down the machine and contact us. For more information, visit this page General Manual Pump Priming.
Electrical: To avoid electrical damage to this espresso machine which is not considered a manufacturer's defect, please acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher. Without the recommended surge suppressor, the espresso machine can be damaged at the power switch, the electronics, the heating element, the pressurstat, or the wiring inside. For more information, visit this page Power Protection.
Water: To increase the useful life and not damage your espresso machine, please use softened water. Softened water is water without calcium and magnesium, but still has other minerals for espresso extraction. Do not use distilled, purified, or reverse osmosis water as these types of water create oxidation with the metals and cause the same damaging effects as limescale. For more information, visit this page Water Choice.
Descaling: We do not recommend descaling unless there is an issue with the espresso machine. Too much descaling can eat away at the metals and gaskets inside an espresso machine. As a preventative measure, we recommend using softened water as explained in the bullet point above.
Backflushing: This procedure of cleaning the grouphead will need to be performed from time to time. For more information, visit this page Espresso Machine Backflush – Why 50?

Purchased in May, 2014 from you. The porta filter holder blows out the group head unless I brush the group holder clean of coffee grounds before each shot pulled. I have tried using my backup Portafilter and screen, which is a much tighter fit, with no improvement over the original portafilter/screen. What is your solution recommendation please.

Prolly your grind too fine. Maybe a new portafilter gasket, or maybe even a new grouphead. Hard to say without testing it here.

Hello, will the red Cafelat group head gasket fit my Bazerra BZ07

Sorry, we are unable to confirm as we do not have this machine in stock.

I'm writing in regards to a Bezzera BZ07 PM PID that is unfortunately no longer under warranty. I went to make a coffee the other day and the PID, rather than showing the temperature, only showed three lines. When activating either the hot water or steam wand no water passes through. The head gets hot and, when activating the machine, water passes through and yet is not coming through sufficiently hot - I suspect what heat there is is simply that gained through passing through the head. Could you be so kind as to advise what you suspect the problem might be - could it be that the boiler has failed? If so, what is the likely cost of such a repair?

It could be one or more of the following: PID display, group-head, heating elements, safety thermostat, or bad wiring/cables.

We purchased a Bezzera BZ07 PM PID V2 Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine from 1st-line several years ago and we always performed regular cleaning and maintenance on the machine. Starting about two months ago, our machine started acting up. At first, it was just sluggish and it starting taking an hour or two for the pressure gauge to move and reach a sufficient pressure where we could use the boiler and make a cappuccino. We were able to limp along with this issue for a few months as the machine would heat up fairly quickly, which meant we were still able to make a decent espresso. We then bought a stand alone milk frothing machine so were still able to make a cauppucinno as well. Now, however, even if the machine is left on all day it never heats up enough to even make an espresso as the pressure gauge never moves from 0 and the water comes out luke warm resulting in a very weak espresso (with very little to no coffee flavor). Any help, advice or suggestions on how we can diagnose and repair the machine would be most appreciated as we live in Hawaii and we've search for, but cannot find any repair facilities here. Alternatively, if anyone happens to know of a repair or service company (whether its in or outside the State of Hawaii) that can diagnose and repair our machine, please let us know. Ideally, if there's no repair place in Hawaii somewhere on the west/Pacific coast would be great. Thanks in advance for your help!

Answered by the admin Sorry to hear this. Please check on the bottom side by removing the cover and depressing the safety thermostat. test to if it works. If it does not.... Unfortunately, this could be a burned out heating element, a faulty relay, and/or a faulty pressurstat (or PID sensor). Each part would need to be tested and inspected, and in some cases, replaced by a process of elimination. You will to find a local repair facility by calling a few cafes and asking them who repairs their larger machines. Parts can be purchased from us.

Having been guided to this page by one of your team I want to report a problem that just occurred with my Bezzera BZ07 and seek your guidance as to how it can be rectified. I was making two cups of coffee earlier this morning. Pulled the first shot and steamed the milk - no problem. Pulled the second shot - no problem. Went to steam the milk and suddenly there was zero response from the frother. Subsequently noticed that nothing is showing on the PID. Turned the machine off an on again several times and no change. PID remains off and nothing comes out of either the frother or the water dispenser. None of the gauges show any movement. Machine does switch on though (with both green and orange lights lit) - you can hear it engage and water does come out of the head. Will have to wait longer to see if it is heating - currently it's hot but that may be residual from the boiler. Any advice as to how I can get this back up and running would be hugely appreciated. Model number shows as: BZ075PM1IL2HX. Look forward to your guidance. Rather frustrated given that this machine is only approx 3 years old.

Sorry for the misfortune. There could be multiple issues causing this: a bad brain, a bad heating element, a bad PID control, or bad wiring. There is a reset safety thermostat inside the panel underneath the machine. With the machine unplugged from the wall outlet, check if the push button clicks. If it does, then it will probably work. If it does not, then the machine may need to be sent in for evaluation.
