Bezzera Magica PID Espresso Machine with Flow Control Rosewood
Bezzera Magica PID Overview
The Bezzera Magica PID in rosewood is a classically designed heat exchanger espresso machine, decked out in beautifully polished stainless steel with the addition of natural rosewood accenting. Its 2 liter copper boiler conducts heat quickly, and being a HX machine you can brew and steam simultaneously. With a wide frame that supports multiple cups and a massive 4 liter water reservoir make the Magica PID an ideal machine for entertaining.
Features and Performance
The Magica PID’s 2 liter copper boiler and E61 group ensure temperature stability throughout the brewing process. The inclusion of a PID controller helps to prevent swings in boiler temperatures and allows you to make changes on the fly from the exterior of the machine. As with all heat exchanger machines, you can brew and steam simultaneously, so whether your making a solo drink in the morning before work, or entertaining multiple guests, the Magica PID is ready to pull double duty.
On the outside, the Magica PID flaunts elegant rosewood accents on the steam and hot water taps, E61 lever, and portafilters. The iconic E61 group with the Bezzera portafilters, steam and hot water joysticks, dual pressure gauges, and of course the iconic Biscione logo make for a timeless aesthetic. Not a small machine, the Magica PID’s wide drip tray provides ample space for cups, while the cup warmer itself has plenty of room for cappuccino/latte drinkware.
Espresso is brewed with a traditional vibration pump with a more gradual ramp up to full brew pressure. Unlike most home machines, the reservoir on the Magica PID holds 4 liters of water, making refills less frequent than usual.
With the addition of flow control, you can have more control than ever over how you pull your shots. By changing the flow of the water to your portafilter, you can customize your preinfusion for perfectly saturated pucks and experiment with different flow profiles to match your taste preferences.

Highly recommended. The machine is very well built. It is heavy and built like a tank, and you can instantly tell this is a high quality product. It is made in Italy and is like the Ferrari of grinders. It is very quiet, produces a perfect grind and is beautifully designed.

I like the very low retention this machine offers.

Very heavy and feels well built. The hopper and port handle are cheaper plastic. The grinder is rather quiet and does a good job of grinding. The timer switch and button again feel rather cheap. Dosing with the timer is not consistent. With a small adjustment to increase the time of dosing may or may not do anything at all. I’m trying to set the tRead more about review stating Quality but not allimer to dose 18 grams but can’t dial it in because the timer will not allow fine tuning. I was in hopes for a better machine. The grinding function and chrome case seem to be superior quality “mixed” with rather cheap accessories. The knob that adjust the grind feels great with a heavy resistance giving the impression that stepless grinding is indeed happening but when you turn the knob for the timer you immediately feel as though you are adjusting a kids toy. It is a weird combination like you are buying a Cadillac Escalade the has roll up windows and vinyl seats

Excellent quality of grinder and great looking. Hard to dial in grind settings.

Fantastic results! I went with the Bezzera because I wanted something quiet in the mornings (and afternoons). It delivers in spades. I also wanted a timer which it of course offers. I’ve been using it as a single doser. I just leave the lid off. Popcorning and retention are very minor and in my mind non-issues. I have this paired with a Gaggia ClRead more about review stating Fluffy … not a clump in siteassic Pro.

Super simple, well-designed, clean aesthetic.

Silent, consistent, and well built! Splurging on a good grinder was a wise decision.
