Hello everybody.

I just received the first of two packages which contains accessories to Bezzera Strega.
Just wonder if that's appropriate quality for Bezzera or I should contact the seller.

Although it's coming long way from Italy to Germany, and then to Russia, everything was solid packed.

The inside welds aren't finished on my 2014 production model either.

How about that double green line on the lattice?

I don't own one, or anything like it, but while personally I can see accepting the inner weld if the price was right and you don't normally see it, if those green lines are visible that would obviously need correction.
Yes, i you per this on an iPhone

That looks like the protective film, it should just peel off.

Laser cut stainless steel from Italy generally comes covered in white plastic film to stop scratches before the customer gets it. It peels right off. The unpolished welds are typical, if it can't be seen from the outside they don't care about it.

I heard it was only skin deep but I don't believe it.

Guys, wouldn't that weld pose a risk of rusting?
