Bezzera Strega Coffee Machine

An entirely new take on traditional lever espresso machines, the Bezzera Strega Coffee Machine combines the best of pump driven coffee machines and the pressure profiling possible only with lever-brewed espresso. Where the traditional lever machine pulled the water for the coffee extraction directly from the boiler, the tank version of the Strega incorporates a pump to fill the lever group through a heat exchanger providing greater temperature stability and pre infusion. Once the handle is lifted to begin the extraction, the pump stops and the pressure in the group is created by two springs that guarantee a steady pressure and the best extraction of the coffee oils.
