Bezzera New Hobby Espresso Machine in Black
Bezzera New Hobby Overview
The Bezzera New Hobby is a semi-automatic espresso and coffee machine with impressive performance for its range, equipped with a 3-way solenoid valve, a commercial-grade group head, commercial standard 58 mm portafilter, and an 8.4 fluid oz eco brass boiler that’s bursting with steam power.
Features and Performance
The New Hobby features a lot of the industry essentials, which is great for such a small machine. The 58mm portafilter, commercial grade group, and commercial style steam wand offer quality tools in crafting your own coffee drinks at home. Plus, the 3-way solenoid valve will keep your used coffee pucks dry for easy discarding (a feature you don’t typically find in machines of this size).
We have a lot of latte drinkers here at the office, so when we started preparing drinks it was quickly decided that the Hobby’s steaming capability is its most impressive feature. To see steam explode from such a small machine is something you really need to see. For more control, we worked with Bezzera to have this version of the Hobby include a commercial steam wand. Also deserving special mention is the dedicated button for the pump for manually refilling the boiler after extended steaming.

My apartment in Puerto Rico has limited counter space and thius machine fits in nicely having a small foot print. It is so easy and fast to make excellent foamed milk. The functionality is
Foaming milk is easy and fast, makes excellent foam each time.
Makes good espresso.
Small footprint, good where counter space is lacking.
Nice Read more about review stating Makes very good espresso, small foot print, frothing milk is outstandinglooking machine.
Reservoir is good size.
Notes:
1. The space space below the portafilter is short, only an espresso cup or shot glasses fit.
2. Difficult to see the level of water in the reservoir since the reservoir plastic somewhat opaque.
3. Expensive, but worth it.

I enjoyed your videos online discussing options, and wanted to support you guys. Shipping was really fast, and I’m enjoying my new machine.
One quirk that others may see too – shipping caused the high-temp switch on top of the boiler to be set. After resetting this by pushing the button, everything works great.

This is my first home espresso machine and I gotta say, I love it! Watching the videos posted online that compared the Bezzera New Hobby to other comparable machines helped me narrow down what I wanted. It’s the perfect size for the small amount of counter space I have, but it’s got a HUGE water tank.
