Bezzera Aria PID Espresso Machine with Flow Control Red
Bezzera Aria Overview
The Bezzera Aria is an attractive and featureful heat exchanger espresso machine, complete with a plumbable rotary pump, PID temperature controller and E61 flow control device. Added niceties like the double and bottomless portafilters, a true usable tamper and the updated design and branding show that Bezzera is paying close attention to features important to home baristas. Cut from the same cloth as machines like the BZ10, the Aria is still under 8 inches wide.
Features and Performance
Internally, the Aria houses a number of premium components that deliver both precision control and convenience. The standout feature is easily the NSF-certified Fluid-O-Tech rotary pump which is whisper-quiet when brewing and can achieve a max flow rate of 13.5g per second while brewing. The heat exchanger boiler has a 1.5L capacity and is made from copper, as is Bezzera’s preference. Temperature is regulated via a PID controller and can be adjusted in 1 degree increments. For added temperature stability, the boiler is fitted with a pair of eco brass endplates and wrapped in insulation.
On the exterior, the Aria’s housing features an attractive pattern of square cut-outs. The classic “Biscione” heraldry of Bezzera’s logo is as fierce as ever with a 3D textured design that roars with life on the back panel. The Aria uses a pair of joystick operated steam and hot water wands with spring-loaded valves that can be quickly tapped or locked in place depending on your preference.
While brewing, water flow from the pump to the group can be controlled via the E61 flow control device. Featuring a design unique to Bezzera machines, the oversized knob makes profiling flow simple and ergonomic, allowing you to repeat your desired extraction profiles with ease.
In the box, the Aria includes the following accessories:
Double Spout Portafilter, Bottomless Portafilter, 10g Single-Shot Basket, 20g Triple Shot Basket, Backflush Disc, Bezzera Logo Tamper and Drawstring Bag, E61 Flow Control Device Installation Kit, Water Level Sensor Cover, Group Cleaning Brush, Coffee Scoop

The learning curve is similar to using other espresso machines, but the quality from pull to pull is better than average. It’s a beautify and it’s use is straight-forward. The unit heats quickly, from either a cold start or recovery from Econo mode. Steaming pressure is always good. My only regret or suggestion is to add a mechanism for monitoringRead more about review stating Excellent machine water level in the supply tank. Invariably, by design, you only know you’re low when the machine turns off in the middle of pulling a shot. That is very annoying and would be preventable with a simple gauge to monitor.

It took me over a year to pull the trigger on the Pro 600. I’m glad I finally did! It’s so compact and fits perfectly on my coffee bar. It took me a while though to dial in my shots. I wasted so much espresso coffee beans. I was frustrated. I watched several videos to understand what I was doing wrong. After that, it was just magic. I enjoy my LatRead more about review stating Love this machinete and Flat Whites each day. A great purchase that I hope to enjoy for years to come!
