Bezzera BZ13 PM Espresso Machine Red

Overview

The Bezzera BZ13 PM Espresso Machine Red is an exceptional heat-exchanger espresso machine that beautifully merges industrial charm with cutting-edge modern technology, making it a true delight to operate. For starters, the BZ13 PM is designed for immediate use, ready to brew and steam straight out of the box. Its efficient copper heat-exchanger boiler reaches brewing temperature in an impressive 8 minutes. This means that while you complete your morning routine of grinding, leveling, and tamping your coffee, the BZ13 will likely be ready to brew even before you are. Plus, it now includes a bottomless portafilter for enhanced brewing feedback.

Features and Performance

Heat-exchange boilers are a significant advantage for serious coffee enthusiasts. If you frequently host guests and prepare multiple milk-based beverages back-to-back, or if you simply value precise temperature control and wish to avoid waiting for your machine to heat up for steaming, then a machine like the BZ13 PM is perfectly suited for your lifestyle. The intuitive PID controller, which conveniently doubles as a shot timer, further enhances your brewing experience. You’ll gain direct control over the steam boiler’s temperature, allowing you to fine-tune steaming for any milk-based drink, whether it’s a latte, cappuccino, flat white, or macchiato. The single heat-exchange boiler on the BZ13 PM efficiently handles all the heating, while the PID feature provides precise control over the final results of your beverage.

Why You Should Get It

The Bezzera BZ13 PM Espresso Machine Red is encased in a striking stainless steel mirror housing and comes equipped with an ergonomic steam wand, a clear pressure gauge, and an effectively unlimited hot water supply. A key highlight is Bezzera’s very own chrome-plated brass grouphead, engineered for incredible temperature stability. Unlike traditional E61 groupheads, Bezzera’s chrome-plated brass group is heated by an electric thermostat. This design ensures that your machine is always heated and does not rely on water circulation from the boiler to maintain stable temperatures. In turn, this allows the machine to heat up quickly because the grouphead is slightly smaller than on a standard E61 machine, requiring less energy to get things up and running smoothly. The BZ13 PM is a robust and efficient choice for consistent, high-quality espresso.
