SIDEWALK SALE – Bellezza Version 1 Bellona Dual Boiler Espresso Machine (Sample Model)

Sorry, due to import tariffs, we are not expecting any in the near future. Tariffs will significantly increase the price of this particular model.

The coffee boiler heating element is available on our web site. The version 1 steam boiler heating element is also on our web site - not compatible with version 2. The version 2 steam boiler heating element is not in stock at the time of this writing.

Please review the manual included with the machine.

Sorry, we are not water experts and we do not pretend to be. Bottom line is to use soft water. You can watch our videos on what specific waters NOT to use. At the high level, the TDS should be between 80-120 TDS, but this TDS can have undesirable elements that make that TDS. For example, high salts can damage the machine. Again, sorry, we do not have the perfect water, and any water we recommend can even change as one client used a good bottle water, but a year later had a ton of limescale and when the same bottled water was tested, the TDS was through the roof.

Sorry, as stated to a Q&A in 2023, this machine CAN NOT be plumbed to a water line.

We have created a quick short video. You may have a difficult time finding a tip with the same threading.

We have seen this heating element become defective when there is too much limescale build up on it. Unfortunately, at this time, the manufacturer has become very resistant to sell any dealer including Bellezza the heating elements or to anyone else. You can email them directly and see if they are willing to sell you one. Here are their email addresses: [email protected] ([email protected]) and [email protected] ([email protected]).

The Bellona Steam Boiler Heating Element is finally in stock.  You can find it by following this link. 

Sorry, we do not have a good response at this time as we are awaiting the manufacturer to supply us with pricing and the part. Apparently, there is an issue with their supplier. We are trying with alternate suppliers but we have not been successful yet. Thank you in advance for your patience.

Just for your information, for the two units that we replaced the heating element for the steam boiler, both issues were the accumulation of limescale from hard water. Therefore, there is a high likelihood that your steam boiler has scale build up.

The V2 has a separate heating element. Unfortunately, we do not have any in stock at this time. The manufacturer is trying their best to get them in 110 volt.

We did offer the one year warranty, and the price is $1499. Dealers are responsible for the warranty. Hence, when we lower the sales price significantly, then we lessen the warranty. There are makes and models from other manufacturers where the warranty states one year, but dealers offer 2 or 3 years. However, the prices are increased for the extra warranty period. So, this works both ways in our industry. The specified dealer warranty 'rules' the transaction and this is why we state it for every online order.

If you would like the one year warranty at $1499, please let us know and we can change it for you.

Thank you for pointing this out to us.

Unless we made an error, our web site usually overrules over manufacturers' web sites.

Answer 1: Electricity is based on an equation, and part of that equation is the actual voltage measured in your outlet. It would be better if the outlet is 120-125 volts. If the actual voltage is 110 volts, there should be no other things plugged into that outlet and circuit. Please remember multiple outlets can share one circuit.

Answer 2: The top rails can be removed.The back side measures approximate 14.5" height. We can not measure the front because the OEM lever and the optional smaller lever with the Bellona will be higher than the front. At the point where the lower front panel starts, the height is approximate 15".Hence, the machine can probably be tucked in 6.5 inches under the cabinets.

There is no adjustment for vibration pumps, and this is why there are no instructions. The gauge on the Bellona shows the resistance of the coffee as explained in our document. Please make your coffee grind finer, add more coffee, and/or tamp harder to increase the resistance on the pump.

At the time of this writing, the glass reservoir in on web site.

We may have a solution by the end of the month.

Yes, this model has a three way solenoid valve which allows backflushing/backwashing. We have an explanation with links to routine, cleaning accessories, and products that should be utilized.

We never suggest buying an espresso machine for a gift as most times, it does get returned. The only time to buy an espresso machine as a gift is for a gift is when the user indicates a particular make or model.

We are sorry for neither at this time.

At the time of this writing, we are shipping version 2.

The OPV screw has a sealant paint on it. If changed to adjust, it can be damaged. Thus, the warranty is voided. The OPV is set to open between 9-10 bar on the gauge on the front panel, However, the gauge can be 0.5 to 1.0 bar over the actual pressure in the puck - this range is provided as each machine can be slightly different. So far, our units have exceeded expectations. However, for those buyers who imported directly from the outside of the USA seem to have some issues as we are getting requests for parts. Unfortunately, we revert them back to their dealers as those dealers are responsible for those customers.

So far so good. We have not seen any defects since we started selling. Self-Repairability should be easy for most who are handy. With the after effects of COVID, no one knows about parts with any brand or manufacturer.

Please review our Bellona descaling instructions.

The OPV is sealed and adjusting it can damage it. The OPV is the maximum pressure. We have an article written about brew pressure gauges.

No, it should have a short backflush as this machine has a vibration pump.

Depending upon your line voltage and ambient room temperature, 20 minutes. 30 minutes is better.

Sorry, the 2550 was a misprint by the person who set up the page. We are correcting the wattage to 1350 watts. Hence, only a 15 amp outlet is needed. Thanks for asking.

We are pretty sure the part number 50890 will fit and work well as long as the grind is made a little more coarse.

Please buy the R037 basket and you can use the portafilter included with the machine. At this time the machine comes with a rubber blind but the R037 basket works better. 

Hi Julie,

You can use the OSCAR packs instead.

Sorry, the Bellezza Bellona is not plumbable to connect to a water supply.

Fabricated can mean different things. The machine is "assembled" in China. Bellezza has advised that approximately 40% of the components are from European origin.

We are very strict at 1st-line to not carry Chinese products UNLESS they meet our high quality standards. This is why, which our future video will show, a reason why we did not bring in the the Bellona until a year after we received the sample prototypes which we requested improvements.

As with many other machines, the OPV should not be changed. In fact over the years, on other machines, customers end up damaging the OPV.

In the Bellezza Bellona espresso machine, the OPV screw has sealant placed over it. Hence, if it is changed and damaged, the customer is responsible for the damage. Please keep in mind, the brew pressure is created and managed by the grind fineness, the amount of coffee in the basket, and the tamping pressure.
