Bezzera ELLISSE 1 group lever

Postby KnowGood on Tue Dec 08, 2009 4:24 pm

Does anyone know where one can purchase a Bezzera Ellisse 1 group lever from in North America? Better yet, has anyone used or own one, or have any thoughts they'd like to share about it?

The Good Coffee Company ((206) 622-5602) in Seattle has imported and sold Bezzera for a number of years. Joe might be able to get it for you. I owned a BZ40P for a number of years and was impressed with both its performance, build and reliability.

This is good to know, thank you. Now if only I could find a lead in Canada.

The biggest group of Bezzera users seems to be in Australia (outside of Italy at least). Barazi is the distributor there - perhaps they would have a Canada suggestion. Also a fair amount on coffeesnobs.com. Maybe you could get a lead there.

Well, I came across CaffeTech - which is a distributor for Bezzera here in Canada, and although they do not stock this machine, they can order it. The sad part is that I did not realize how expensive this machine would be, and it is now out of my budget. :( Damn, it is one fine looking machine!
