While it flows into the cup, you're already frothing the milk. It's this calm, bar-like way of working that defines the BZ16: less fiddling, more repeatability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bezzera BZ16 DE Top is a heat exchanger machine with a quiet rotary pump and volumetric dosing. Bezzera builds it in Italy; our Top version runs either from the tank or from a direct water connection and is a CCC special edition with tilt valves instead of the usual rotary taps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeat exchanger machine with an electrically heated group head\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside sits a 2-litre copper boiler with a heat exchanger: that's what lets you pull espresso and steam milk at the same time. The Bezzera group head is electrically heated and controlled via solenoid valves – that cuts heat-up time to around ten minutes and keeps maintenance low. Brew temperature follows the boiler pressure, which you can read off the gauge; there's no PID fitted. The large boiler gives you calm, stable heat management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe extract by weight ratio – 1:2 as a starting point, so around 18 g of coffee for 36 g of espresso – and adjust grind size and dose until it tastes right to us. There's no right and no wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVolumetric dosing and rotary pump\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the DE version is the electronics: the microprocessor control lets you program four fixed brew volumes directly on the keypad, with a fifth key triggering a manual, continuous pour. That keeps the dose consistent every morning. The rotary pump runs quieter than a vibration pump and builds pressure evenly; it draws from the removable 4-litre tank or via a direct water connection. A twin gauge shows boiler and pump pressure. Steam comes through the cool-touch wand with a two-hole tip and tilt valve, and there's a separate hot water tap for tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDesign\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat exchanger machine (brews and steams simultaneously)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGroup head\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBezzera group head, electrically heated, solenoid valves (not E61)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDosing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003evolumetric: 4 programmable volumes + button for manual pour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTemperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003evia boiler pressure (gauge), no PID\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBoiler\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0 L copper, with automatic refill\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePump\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotary pump, quiet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDisplay\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwin gauge (boiler and pump pressure)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSteam\/water\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCool-touch wand, two-hole tip, tilt valve; separate hot water tap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePortafilter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58 mm, two portafilters included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWater\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 L removable tank or direct water connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeat-up time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003earound 10 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eca. 1400 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions (W×H×D)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eca. 32 × 40 × 45 cm, ca. 22,7 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecial feature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCCC special edition with tilt valves, passively heated cup tray\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in Italy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the BZ16 DE Top is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor everyone who appreciates repeatable shots at the push of a button – the character of a small bar machine for home, built with the morning routine in mind.
