Bezzera Strega TOP Lever Machine

The Strega model blends modern 21st-century coffee machine technology with a classic lever system to ensure perfect coffee extraction, producing rich, creamy espresso true to Italian tradition. Its vibration pump, controlled electronically, automatically manages boiler water levels. Before brewing, the pump fills the lever group for ideal pre-infusion. Once brewing starts, the pump stops, and two springs maintain consistent pressure, extracting the finest oils from the coffee grounds. The group is kept stable by a dedicated heating element, guaranteeing optimal temperature for every cup.

• Double water supply / switchable: This machine can be operated with the tank/reservoir only or it can be plumbed directly to the water line. Our suggestion on initial usage, to avoid heating element damage, is to first operate the unit as a tank model.
• Vibration pump: Activated to refill boiler or when lever is brought into down, locked position for pre-infusion.
• Pressurstat: Monitor boiler’s steam pressure.
• Grouphead: Heated by a separate heating element to keep the temperature more stable.
• Stability: There are weights placed in the lower rear of the machine’s interior to keep it more stable while pulling it down on the lever.
• Hot water wand: Located on the right side. Multi-directional. Activated using joystick control.
• Steam wand: Located on the left side. Multi-directional and utilizes non-compression valve with a joystick control.
• Boiler pressure gauge: Indicates steam pressure in boiler.
• Drip tray: Made of stainless steel. Removable for manual cleaning. Optional drip tray to drain is available (order parts #12 through #17 in direct connect diagram).
• Accessories included: Single spout portafilter, double spout portafilter, 1-cup filter basket, 2-cup filter basket, handle for lever, stainless steel braided hose, grouphead cleaning brush, plastic tamper, and plastic measuring scoop.
