At just under 10" wide, the Bezzera BZ07 DE is as elegant in its form as it is robust in function. A heat exchange espresso machine with a PID temperature display and volumetric shot control, the BZ07 is housed in AISI 304 commercial grade polished stainless steel with traditional Italian styling.
+
 
+
Bezzera's BZ line of espresso machines distinguish themselves with their unique group head. Eschewing the use of thermosiphon heating found in E61 groups, the BZ07 uses two dedicated heating elements and a thermostat to monitor the temperature of both the group head and the boiler to ensure temperature stability from start to finish. This particular model of the BZ07, the DE also features a PID temperature controller that allows you to adjust brew temperatures between 185° - 212° Fahrenheit. On the front of the machine, a dual manometer constantly displays both boiler pressure and brew pressure.
+
 
+
This particular model is also equipped with volumetric controls for programmable espresso brewing. Located on the front of the machine, there are three buttons for pulling single, double, and manual shots of espresso. The single and double shot buttons can both be programmed with specific drink volumes, allowing you to brew your preferred beverage with just one push.
+
 
+
Brewing is handled in combination by the vibration pump and 1.5 liter nickel-plated copper boiler with brass end plates. The boiler has been plated using the Nistla process, an electrolytic method of applying metal plating that meets NSF food safety standards. The boiler also features a heat exchanger, allowing you to brew and steam at the same time, and up to 20 oz of steam can be produced in one session with a recovery time of only 40 seconds.
+
 
+
Dimensions: 9.8" W x 14.7" H x 16.7" D
+
 
+
Weight: 42 lbs
+
 
+
Shot Volume Control
+
There are three brew buttons located on the front of the machine for single, double, and manual shot brewing. The single and double shot buttons can both be programmed to dispense your preferred volume of espresso. The manual button serves the dual purpose of pulling manually controlled shots as well as programming the volumes of the other buttons.
+
 
+
Electrically Heated Group Head
+
The BZ07's group head is a specialized and electrically heated group head designed for maximum temperature stability. The group head is heated by two dedicated heating elements and controlled by a thermostat. The dual elements help to provide even heating to the group head to aid in maintaining temperature stability.
+
 
+
PID Temperature Controller
+
The Bezzera BZ07 is equipped with a PID temperature controller that allows you to monitor and adjust the temperature of the boiler in 1 degree increments. Brew temperature can be set to display in both Celsius and Fahrenheit and has a maximum range of 85° - 100° C / 185° - 212° F. The PID also takes the guess work out of brewing on a heat exchange machine by ensuring that the boiler always returns to the correct temperature between brewing and steaming

Install It

  1. Find a swanky spot in your home for your new machine to live, preferably where the morning sun can strike the mirror-finished housing so you can fully appreciate the bright idea that is your purchase.
  2. Get the power cord and the accessories out of the box.
  3. Plug the machine directly into an outlet. Don't plug it into surge protectors, extension cords, or timers.
  4. Fill the water tank.

Get it Good & Hot

It's time to get heated.

  1. Turn on the machine.
  2. Lock the portafilter into the group head.
  3. Wait 30 minutes.
  4. Take this time to start reading up on how to brew and froth below, if this is your first machine or you're new to pulling shots.

Get a Handle on your Tamp

  1. Level off the grounds in your portafilter
  2. Keep your tamper level with the basket
  3. Apply consistent force downward, evenly, and level with the portafilter
    • 30 lbs. of pressure is a good rule-of-thumb to follow for beginners

How To: How Do You Tamp for Espresso?



Brew Better

  1. Lock the portafilter into the brew group.
  2. Lift the brew lever all the way up.
    • Aim for 2 to 2.5 oz. in about 25 seconds.
  3. Drink your shot to test.
  4. Repeat until properly motivated to get work done.


The big secret to finding that exact flavor you're after, that big punch-in-the-mouth feel, is dialing in your grind. For a basic rule-of-thumb, a coarser grind makes for a lighter, fluffier coffee, and a finer grind makes for a more intense, flavorful espresso. Check out the video on the right for more info.

Brew the Best You Can Brew

For more control, you'll want to know about how brew ratios and weighing your shots can help you keep a recipe so you can repeat your favorite results. Brew rations and weighing take all the guesswork out of the process so you always know what you're going to get.

Get Frothing

If you like cappuccinos, lattes, Flat Whites, and other milk drinks, you're gonna need to know how to froth.

Froth Better

For a few quick tips to improve your frothing technique, check out the video on the right. You'll learn a few tricks to make your drinks even better.

Quick Tip: Five Basic Tips for Frothing Milk



Frothing and Habits to Avoid

Frothing can be a delicate process. There's a number of mistakes you can make that really bring down the quality of your drinks. Check out the video on the right to learn some easy things you can avoid going forward.

Quick Tip: Six Common Milk Frothing Mistakes



Steam & the Heating Sweet Spot

The literal sweet spot for steaming milk falls between 140°F and 155°F, with smaller drinks on the lower end and larger drinks on the higher end. A quick rule-of-thumb we follow is to steam just until the frothing pitcher becomes a little too hot to hold comfortably.

Steam with Thermometers

If you're using a thermometer, you'll want to learn about lag time and how to read a frothing thermometer to correctly gauge the steaming process.
