Anyone interested in a little project?
Have a Bezzera BZ99 for sale for the bargainous price of £99
what's the catch…
It's had new lectrics put in at some point and I've replaced the pump 6 months ago. However, The pressurestat looks to have gone which means the safety over pressure valve is kicking in, I can't say for definite that it's the pressurestat but that's my guess. The steam and water plastic handles are also cracked and need replacing. Parts for the Bezzers are readily available in the UK.
I've decided to upgrade rather than fix. IMO this is a good little project for anyone who's got a fair idea of what they're doing or are pretty mechanically minded [I have all the schematic diagrams for this]
Heat up time on the machine is 20 minutes and once it's up to pressure you can pretty much bang out flat whites pretty constantly.
So the caveat is, cheap price for a good little project but please don't blow yourself up
