Bezzera Aria TOP Espresso Machine

[@ramonwillems73]

I was in such a doubt but the logo is the decision maker for me.

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

I agree, it's super cool.

[@euci3207]

That logo can be found on a castle in bezzeras town in italy

I have my heart set on this machine for upgrades at the end of the year/early next year. It's everything I want (and more) in a compact size and great aesthetic (matte black w/ wood panelling for me). It's a huge upgrade from the crappy super-budget one I started with to test the waters, so videos like this really help!

[@harpy2602]

Update: It arrived today! delivery was a bit late so I won't be able to use it/pull shots til tomorrow, but it looks just as amazing as I thought it would

[@Elfin4]

I have one of these and it's amazing. Its a thing of beauty.

[@abc-cl3rb]

the temp shown is just an offset from the temp in the boiler. the temp is still measured in the boiler by the pid. i would prefer it was measured at the group especially with fluctuating room temperatures im not sure the temp shown is the actual temp of the brewing water... i think mara x v2 with pid does a better job here

[@AlonAbraham1]

Thank you slava. This example was great. Thanks:)

[@Persepolis8564]

I wish I could have the Chrome with wood. The black is the only model that comes with wood? Also, when do you use a bottomless over a double spout purtifilter?

[@jakevan1969]

Amazing machine and set-up! Many thanks for the video.

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

Thanks for watching.

[@iuriestirbu1960]

Hello, I watched your videos with bezzera crema, bezzera aria, la morzocco micra. In your opinion, who makes the best espresso and cappuccino? Which device would you recommend for the home?

[@ThePoorStudent]

new logo looks cool!

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

🔥

[@hanzohcafe.]

Looks amazing!

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

It is a great machine and I can't get enough of that logo.

[@shanewilson2152]

I really enjoyed your video ☕☕☕👍

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching.

[@lorimcquinn3966]

A view of the internals would have been beneficial.

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

We haven't done much of that in the past, but I will keep it in mind for future videos. Thank you for the suggestion.

[@gbf5972]

Can the white version be upgraded with wood accents? Also, would you say the pressure outside the box is a bit high, or does flow control remove the need to adjust or lower the brew pressure?

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

It is possible to change the accents to wood. Bezzera does tend to set their machines a little higher than others but I don't find it has a detrimental effect on the coffee. The flow control can also be used to dial this in.

[@mikeowen000]

Does anyone know the warm up time for this machine?

[@chilljill9235]

Is it can set pre- infusion ?

[@jettav88]

This without flow control or the new Micra? Thanks!

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

Hi, that's really not a fair comparison. The Micra costs 2.5x more than the Aria without flow control.

[@Persepolis8564]

Will the machine tell you if you are low on water in the tank?

[@Persepolis8564]

From my understanding, it doesn't. I might be wrong though

[@stuartschwartz234]

Yes. If low, will not activate

[@Pianoman1488]

What would your recommendation be vs the profitec pro 600? The price of the aria seems high when compared against a dual boiler. Thanks!

[@rxonmymind8362]

It's it the same it's the customer service that will win if anything goes wrong. I know nothing of either of these companies but do your research and call customer service and see what their return policies are. Look at their warranty. Selling is easy. Keeping a customer is another.

[@kfiatos]

Can it be used with smart plug?

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

Yes.

[@gavinchrisaputra352]

Hello, I am in dilemma on getting either Profitec 600 or Bezzera Aria. Which would you recommend and why? Looking from the specs itself, the aria seems to have the upper hand with the rotary pump and the flow valve, but I believe that it is not the only decision maker. Any other thoughts? Thanks

[@zacharygreen6716]

I have the same question. The 600 is a dual boiler, which is a big advantage, but is a vibratory pump. I would love to get some thoughts on this.

[@gavinchrisaputra352]

@@zacharygreen6716 I saw similar question in the other comments, which means many people are in dilemma on getting one of those 😄

[@rxonmymind8362]

​​​@@zacharygreen6716 From what I gather if you aren't doing a huge crowd of people then get the vibration pump with rotary pump. Better yet if you find a thermacoil (Ascaso) I'd get that. Problem with broiler is it keeps the water in the tank. I like fresh water as I do beans. Thermacoil takes only fresh water from a reservoir on demand only. I never liked the idea of dual broilers as water is very corrosive over many years. But DB do have their advantages if you have a large crowd of people you are serving for. Thermacoil maybe six people max in a short time? It's me and my wife I don't need a DB. I like the Crem ONE too. That machine will allow you to plumb a line on a vibration pump, unheard of so this eliminate all your doubts about serving large crowds. Win win. Soo many choices.

[@Texashammered]

Looks like a powerhouse, but the design reminds me of Windows 98 😅

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

That's funny, now that you say it I can't unsee it.
