Bezzera Magica

Overview

The Bezzera Magica is a classic heat exchanger E61 machine that delivers the traditional Italian espresso experience at an accessible price point. With a 1.8-liter copper boiler and the legendary E61 group head, the Magica provides the thermal stability and powerful steam that heat exchanger machines are known for. The copper boiler ensures excellent heat retention, and the heat exchanger design allows seamless transition between brewing and steaming without the wait time inherent in single boiler machines. The E61 thermosiphon provides natural pre-infusion — a gentle pressure ramp before the pump reaches full pressure — which many baristas credit with producing sweeter, more balanced extractions. The Magica uses a pressurestat for temperature control, which works effectively with the thermal mass of the copper boiler and E61 group. Build quality is solid with stainless steel panels and quality internal components. The Magica is named for the magical quality that Bezzera believes great espresso should possess — that ineffable combination of crema, body, and flavor that transforms a simple beverage into an experience. It is a straightforward, reliable machine for the home barista who values traditional Italian espresso making.

The Bezzera Magica comes equipped with pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a heat exchanger boiler system made of copper with a 1800 ml capacity. The vibratory pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $1,399, the Bezzera Magica is designed for serious home baristas who want café-quality espresso. The heat exchanger design provides steam-on-demand while maintaining brew temperature stability — a great middle ground between single and dual boiler machines.

In terms of build quality, the Bezzera Magica is a substantial machine, weighing in at 22.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 1200W of power. With dimensions of 290 x 440 x 400 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 2500 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
