bezzera bz10
compact hx with an electrically heated group and café-grade steam
the BZ10 is a single-group heat-exchanger machine built around a 1.5-liter copper boiler and bezzera's own electrically heated BZ ring group. it warms up in ten to fourteen minutes, runs a vibratory pump, and pairs push-button brew controls with lever steam and hot-water valves. a dual manometer tracks both boiler and brew pressure. temperature management requires a short cooling-flush routine in place of a PID. sharp casing edges and audible pump vibration are the main material trade-offs at this price point.
what it does well
- electrically heated bz group ready in ten to fourteen minutes, faster than most hx machines
- simultaneous brewing and steaming without switching modes
- dual manometer shows boiler pressure and brew pressure at once
- compact 250 mm width fits tight counter spaces
- polished stainless case and 58 mm portafilter at a sub-$1,500 entry point
where it stops short
- no pid, so brew temperature relies on a manual cooling-flush routine
- vibratory pump is audible and causes noticeable vibration, rattling the water tank lid
- stainless steel casing edges can be sharp, including at the visible front corners
- water tank hoses must be inserted manually rather than drawing from a bottom outlet
