Making the Bellezza Bellona the right fit for you
We added the Bellezza Bellona to our dual boiler line of espresso machines back in early 2023. It has attracted many potential customers with features such as its stainless steel, insulated boilers. The PID controls allows you to program preinfusion, ECO mode, and a built-in shot timer. The main feature is it’s external glass reservoir. This makes it easy to fill and monitor. The lid as also sealed to keep anything from crawling in.
The one thing that makes this machine stand out in a negative way is its height. Although the steam handle itself is a high quality part, it makes the total height of the machine ~19.25″. This eliminates itself from many kitchen countertops.
We have brought this up with the manufacturer and asked for a shorter alternative. In the meantime, we dug into our extensive parts catalog to try to find a solution.
It only takes 2 parts:
Installation is pretty easy:
Unscrew the current handle.
Install the screw about halfway.
NOTE: Be careful as it can completely screw in and will be very difficult to unscrew out.
Install the knob.
Once you install, you will see that the knob stands just the below the top rails at 16.5″.
You can find these parts in the Frequently Bought Together section on the Bellezza Bellona product page.
