Bezzera 3L Black 2-Group Professional Espresso Machine BZB2016B2DE

The Bezzera BZB2016B2DE is a 2-group volumetric espresso machine in black with an 11 litre copper boiler and heat exchangers on a hydraulic circuit separated from the boiler, so coffee is always brewed with fresh water. Groups are thermostatically controlled by a 50 W heater and it takes cups up to 13 cm. At 3,000 W on 15 A it is far simpler to install than the 3-group models.

Why operators choose the BZB2016B2DE

• In-built water pump — no separate motor-pump to find bench space for, and it simplifies the plumbing
• Two fully flexible stainless steam and water arms — faster to work with on a busy bar than fixed wands
• Thermostatically controlled groups with a 50 W heater — the group itself is held at temperature, which keeps extraction stable when the machine is being hammered
• Heat exchangers on a circuit separated from the boiler — coffee is brewed with fresh water rather than boiler water - a real taste difference, not a spec-sheet one
• Automatically controlled copper boiler — copper transfers heat well and the level is managed for you
• Double safety system — a boiler high-temperature cut-off thermostat AND a hydraulic overpressure valve - two independent protections
• 13 cm cup clearance — the large working area and special grids take tall takeaway cups, not just espresso cups
• Four settable volumetric doses per group with rebrewing — electronically regulated solenoid valves hold quantity and temperature constant, so the shot does not depend on who is working
• 3,000 W on a 15 A supply — a genuine 2-group machine that does not need the hard-wired 25 A circuit the 3-group models require - a materially cheaper installation

Specifications

Venue suitability

The BZB2016B2DE suits cafes, restaurants, bars and clubs wanting 2-group output with a black finish as a front-of-house choice. Its 15 A supply makes it considerably easier to install than the 3-group models in the same range, which need hard-wiring at 25 A.

Installation & delivery

It needs a 15 A supply. A 15 A plug has a larger earth pin and will not fit a standard 10 A socket, so confirm the circuit or budget for an electrician. It plumbs to a G 3/8 inch load and a G 3/4 inch drain. Our data records the supply as a 240 to 415 V range, which indicates the machine can be configured single-phase or three-phase — confirm which with us and your electrician before ordering. Specify water filtration at the same time, because water quality determines boiler life. At 54 kg it is a two-person lift.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Will the BZB2016B2DE run from a plug?

It is rated 3,000 W at 15 A, so it needs a 15 A circuit - a 15 A plug will not fit a standard 10 A socket. That is still far simpler than the 3-group models in this range, which draw 25 A and must be hard-wired. Our data records a 240 to 415 V range, so have the configuration confirmed before ordering.

Q: What does 'heat exchangers separated from the boiler' mean?

The water that becomes your coffee never sits in the boiler. It passes through a heat exchanger on its own circuit, so every shot is pulled with fresh water rather than water that has been standing hot.

Q: How big is the boiler?

11 litres, in copper, with automatic level control. The 3-group models in this range carry 17 litres.

Q: Will it take tall takeaway cups?

Yes - the large working area and special grids allow cups up to 13 cm high, as well as traditional espresso cups.

Q: What colours does this model come in?

This SKU is the black one. The same machine is also listed in stainless and red as separate products, so choose the finish by SKU rather than expecting an option on this page.

Q: What warranty does the BZB2016B2DE come with?

Covered for 1 year, parts only — labour is not included. On a machine of this value that is worth budgeting for, because a service call is on you from day one. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
