Bezzera SOLE Fast Heating Espresso Machine

Bezzera Sole Fast Heating Espresso Machine

The Bezzera Sole Fast Heating is a high-capacity heat-exchanger espresso machine with an updated brew group for an even shorter heatup time of just 13 minutes. The PID-regulated boiler, electrically heated E61 group head with optional flow control, and near-silent rotary pump give you extraordinary versatility, and its retro-futuristic aesthetic make it a true statement piece on your countertop. 

Features & Benefits

This Bezzera espresso machine is a stylish and powerful heat-exchanger with a whisper-quiet rotary pump and a hefty 2 L boiler. The moon-lander-style feet contribute to the machine’s retro-futuristic aesthetic, but they’re also adjustable, which means the Sole can be stable on less-than-level surfaces. 

The Sole Fast Heating's updated E61 brew group features and updated design that houses a pair of 150W glow plugs. The plugs are activated via a dedicated button next to the main power button. When switched on, they begin heating to a thermostat regulated temperature of 95° or 203° F. The PID will display a flush "FLU" alert once the boiler is heated. After flushing, the PID will display "HOT" and then, you're ready to brew. After initial heat up, press the Fast Heating button again to switch off the glow plugs and let the thermosiphon maintain temperature at the group.

Speaking of temperature stability, the PID controller allows you to make adjustments to the boiler temperature in 1° increments, so you can experiment with different brew profiles for various roasts. It also doubles as a shot timer during extractions. The PID can bet set to display temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. 

The Sole is a versatile machine, too: you can plumb it to a direct water line or use the massive 4 L internal reservoir; you can also order it with an installed flow control device, which allows for even further experimentation with brewing specialty coffees. 

Why You Should Get It

If you’re looking for a workhorse daily driver that delivers delicious espresso and retro-modern design sensibilities, the Bezzera Sole Fast Heating is the machine for you. The massive 2 L copper boiler provides near unlimited power for steam while brewing with PID precision. With even faster heating thanks to the updated group and the ability to connect to a water line, the Sole can be ready to brew whenever you need it.
