Bezzera Luce S PID espresso machine

Bezzera LUCE S with or (without) PID control

classic dual-circuit portafilter espresso machine

The Bezzera LUCE is the evolution of the Bezzera Magica and Mitica, and impresses with its versatility and stylish color options. Equipped with PID control , a shot timer , and an externally adjustable expansion valve , it offers optimal control for baristas. The Bezzera LUCE S PID is a classic dual-circuit portafilter espresso machine with a solid Faema E61 brewing group . A portafilter machine for ambitious baristas who value professional technology and are unwilling to compromise when preparing all Italian coffee specialties. A perfect espresso machine for the home or small office.

Steam and hot water at the same time

The Bezzera LUCE is a classic dual-circuit portafilter espresso machine . This means that the water circuits for steam, tea water and espresso are separate, and that the machine provides steam and hot water at the same time. The boiler volume of 2.0 l is significantly larger than that of entry-level portafilter systems such as the Bezerra BZ09 or the Bezzera BZ10. The large boiler produces a lot of dry steam and heats the fresh water for the espresso using an integrated heat exchanger. A thermosyphon integrated in the boiler brings the temperature in the brewing group to around 90°C through automatic water circulation. The PID allows the dispensing temperature to be optimally adjusted. The system thus provides sufficient steam for frothing milk and hot water for dispensing espresso at the same time. The pump pressure gauge shows the current pump pressure, so that the optimal brewing pressure of 10 to 12 bar can be monitored at all times. A second pressure gauge shows the current boiler pressure.

Craftsmanship & perfection from the Milanese manufactory

Bezzera is a family business that has been manufacturing high-quality, professional espresso machines since 1901. To ensure the proven high quality, all of the necessary parts have been manufactured in-house in the Milanese factory for generations. No other espresso machine manufacturer has such a vertical range of manufacture, which is also combined with great craftsmanship . For example, all of the metal sheets are flanged at the edges to create rounded edges. The Bezzera LUCE S PID impresses with a sophisticated housing made of tempered ANSI 304 stainless steel, a copper boiler and pipes, professional tilt valves for perfect milk frothing / hot water dispensing and the digital PID temperature control system as well as the lever-controlled Faema E61 brewing group. The high level of vertical integration in the Bezzera espresso machine factory also ensures a long-term secure supply of spare parts, so that repairs are guaranteed even after many years of use.

The digital temperature control system PID

The Bezzera LUCE also features the digital PID temperature control system to optimize the brewing water temperature. The PID panel is integrated into the front panel and allows for quick adjustment. The PID precisely regulates the desired target temperature to ensure the optimal brewing water temperature is tailored to the coffee used. This provides the barista with an additional control tool, similar to modern multi-boiler portafilter espresso machines . The PID brings the small machine even closer to the high quality and experience of Italian espresso culture found on large professional espresso machines used in the hospitality industry.
