Izzo Valexia PID Switchable Heat Exchanger Espresso Machine with Wood Handles and Knobs

Overview

The Izzo Valexia PID espresso machine, produced by Gruppo Izzo, is an incredible new addition to 1st-line’s heat exchange models! Additionally, you can make use out of this beautiful stainless steel unit at home, a small office, or a small restaurant or cafe. Furthermore, one of the biggest advantages this espresso machine has is its silent rotary pump with a PID monitoring the boiler temperature and user-programmable to the temperature desired. Finally, some of the machine’s best materials will make it highly attractive on the outside and technologically innovative on the inside.

Fabulous Features

Many heat exchanger espresso machines, like the Valexia PID espresso machine, are incorporating PID technology over the pressurstats also known as mechanical pressure regulators of steam pressure in the boiler. However, although PID systems have more impact on dual boiler espresso machines, there are some benefits to PID controllers and sensors on heat exchanger espresso machines:

a) There is less delta or bandwidth with a PID. Therefore, this means a pressurstat may click on the power to the heating element when 0.1 to 0.2 bar drop in the boiler. It allows full power and then the heating element is still hot and the boiler pressure can still increase after the power is turned off of the heating element by pressurstat. The PID system will power the heating element with less of a drop in boiler pressure in most cases. In addition, the PID system tends to control the power to the heating element so the boiler pressure slides to the desired pressure without overshooting. It does this by pulsating the electric to the heating element.

b) Both the pressurstat and PID sensor on the boiler are susceptible to limescale. The pressurstat usually needs to be replaced once damaged, and the PID sensor can usually be cleaned once removed. However, descaling a heat exchanger machine usually does not clear either of limescale build-up. When removing the PID sensor, it is of utmost importance to not twist its dual thin wires as twisting will surely damage the sensor.

The Izzo Valexia PID is a little monster! Be careful! The machine eats up ground espresso coffee and produces a great espresso when using a high quality espresso coffee grinder and freshly roasted espresso coffee beans. Join the proud Izzo espresso machine family today!

Heat exchange system
  • Pull a shot & steam milk at the same time – Steam is always readily available. Hence, there is no wait time going from coffee to steam mode. Works well if entertaining a small to medium-sized group of people.
E61 Grouphead
  • E61 Grouphead features pre-infusion capability.
  • Please note that true pre-infusion requires the direct water connection whereby the water pressure from the waterline creates true pre-infusion. In tank mode, it is steam pressure in the heat exchanger that creates a soft pre-infusion.
Features
  • Stainless steel body polished to a mirrored finish with rotary pump adjustment access port on the left side panel.
  • Stainless steel underlying frame prohibits rusting found on other espresso machines with enamel painted frames.
  • Transportable top grill to simply access the unit’s internals.
  • Silent rotary vane pump situated vertically in the left rear.
  • Very quiet SSR power relay to step down voltage.
  • Stainless steel mushroom on top of grouphead.
  • Boiler size is ~2 liters offer good steaming performance.
  • Stainless steel boiler is insulated helps keep energy costs lower, temperature stability higher, and offers more protection on the electronics
  • Pump pressure gauge indicates pump pressure or water line pressure when the pump is off.
  • Steam pressure gauge indicates steam pressure in the boiler. A higher temp on the PID will increase the steam pressure and vice versa.
  • Low profile guard rail on cup warmer tray.
  • Removable 2.5 liter water tank for easy refilling and cleaning. Plastic top lid with a small handle fits over the reservoir.
  • Switchable from tank/reservoir mode to direct plumbing mode to a water line – small lever behind drip tray on right side changes the actual water source between reservoir tank and direct plumbing.
  • Switch on the panel behind drip tray activates or deactivates the lower water level sensor for the reservoir depending if plumbing the machine into a water line.
  • Polished feet add a flare of fortitude to the Valexia PID.
  • Adjustable OPV (adjustable overpressure valve) is on the inside, right side front of the machine.
  • A huge removable stainless steel drip tray is also portable and can be plumbed to drain line.
  • Boiler drain plug located on the bottom of the machine.
  • Both no burn steam wand and no burn water wand sport wood knobs for controlling dispensing of steam and hot water/steam.
  • Dims: 16″ D x 13 5/8″ W x 14 3/8″ H
  • Voltage: 110 volts, 1350 Watts, 15 Amps using a standard 110-volt plug.
Accessories
  • Beautiful stainless steel 58mm Duetto tamper with wood handle.
  • Stainless steel blind filter basket for backflushing.
  • 2-hole (installed on the machine), 3-hole, 4-hole, and 5-hole steam tip included.

Espresso Machine Warning

  • ELECTRICAL WARNING: 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. the lack of 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.
  • WATER WARNING: To increase the useful life of and not damage your espresso machine, please use softened water. Softened water is water without calcium and without magnesium, but still has other minerals for espresso extraction. Do not use distilled water, purified water, nor reverse osmosis water as these types of water create oxidation with the metals and cause the same damaging effects as limescale.
  • DESCALING WARNING: We do not recommend descaling unless there is an issue with the espresso machine. The reason is that too much descaling can eat away at the metals and gaskets inside an espresso machine.

      Hi, can you revisit this question? It doesn't address the content of my issue with the steam wand knob not fully engaging when turned to close. I've removed the internal gasket inside the steam assembly and inspected it, it's intact and unmarked. The issue is that when turning the knob off the internal rod that's attached via the C clip doesn't actuate. The knob freely rotates and does not engage the brass fitting rod that's under the c clip. In normal operation, I do take care not to turn the knob fully closed when using the steam wand. If the knob cover is removed, I can use a pair of pliers to grip the rod that presents at the end of the C clip and turn it so that the steam fully turns off. I don't have the issue turning on the steam wand because the assembly will engage turning it on, but there seems to be extra play when turning it off, and this prevents the wooden knob from turning the steam wand off properly.

      Answered by the admin Sorry about this, but some tech support is beyond the free services we provide here. If the machine is under warranty, you can email. If out of warranty, sometimes it is better to get this professionally evaluated. It is difficult to determine which part may be at fault. However, if you believe it is the spring, then rotate the spring out of the hot water valve to see. PLEASE take LOT OF PICTURES to put it back to together properly and test.
    2. Hi, I have an issue with the steam wand knob not fully engaging when turned to close. When opening the steam wand the knob functions normally but when turning to close there is a gap that the knob leaves and it's unable to turn the valve fully closed. I've inspected the gasket in the valve as well as the c clip that attaches to the valve. Is this an issue with the spring? I end up having to manually turn the brass top closed with pliers.

      Asked by Quentin on September 6, 2023 1:02 pm
      Answered by the admin Thanks. Trying turning the internal gasket inside out. This probably happened because too much force was used to close the valve. Remember, turn the knob until the steam stops from the wand, NOT WHEN the knob stops. The spring rarely is defective.
    4. The steam wand has started leaking steam (as in I can't seem to turn the steam wand off completely) out from the wand. How do I fix this?

      Any bottomless portafilter with approximate 6.5mm lips. Unfortunately, we are out of stock on many at this time. The hard part is matching the wood color. Lelit will fit as well.

    12. ’m looking to purchase the Izzo Valexia PID heat exchange machine, I have VERY hard water and this would be directly plumbed. Would I need and additional filtration system, if so what do you recommend and do you sell it?

      We highly and strongly recommend the BWT system. We suggest getting a medium to larger filter if the water is very hard.

    14. do you offer a bottomless portafilter for this model? Preferably with matching wood handles?
