Bezzera Aria R PID Coffee Machine

Yes, the machine is designed with versatility in mind and offers the option to switch between the internal 3L water tank and a direct plumbed connection.

The PID controller allows you to set and maintain an exact water temperature for your boiler. This precision ensures consistent extraction, allowing you to highlight specific flavor profiles in your coffee beans.

Yes, the internal rotary pump is much quieter and smoother in operation than traditional vibration pumps. It also provides a more stable pressure profile, which is beneficial for consistent shot quality.

The E61 is a legendary design that provides excellent thermal stability and pre-infusion capabilities. It is a industry standard that ensures your coffee is brewed with the pressure and heat consistency required for professional-grade espresso.

Flow control allows you to manually adjust the volume of water hitting the coffee puck during extraction. This gives you the ability to experiment with different pressure profiles, which is particularly useful for dialing in lighter roast coffees.

Because it uses a robust 1.5L copper boiler and an E61 grouphead, the machine typically requires about 15 to 20 minutes to reach full thermal stability. We recommend leaving it on for this duration to ensure the grouphead is hot enough for the best extraction.
