Bezzera Aria V Coffee Machine

Yes — the Aria V uses a heat-exchanger (HX) boiler system, which allows simultaneous brewing and steaming. The single boiler operates at steam temperature, with a separate internal tube delivering brew water at a lower temperature. You can pull a shot and texture milk at the same time without switching modes or waiting to reheat — a significant practical advantage over single-boiler machines for milk-based drinks like flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos.

The Aria V (this machine) uses a vibration pump — reliable and well-suited to home use. The Aria R uses a rotary pump, which runs more quietly, delivers more consistent pressure across long sessions, and can be plumbed directly into a water line. The Aria R also typically includes an E61 flow-control device for advanced extraction profiling. If quiet operation, plumbing capability or flow profiling matter to you, the Aria R is the better choice; for everyday home espresso without those requirements, the Aria V is an excellent and more accessible option.

Bezzera has used copper boilers across their range since the brand's founding in 1901 — a deliberate engineering preference. Copper heats faster than stainless steel and retains heat evenly, supporting the machine's thermal stability. The trade-off is that copper benefits from good water quality — filtered water at around 75–150ppm hardness is recommended — and regular descaling to prevent limescale build-up. With proper water management, a Bezzera copper boiler performs consistently for many years. We stock water filters and descaling products suited to machines like the Aria V.

Like all prosumer espresso machines, the Aria V doesn't include a grinder, and a quality burr grinder is essential for good espresso — our team can recommend a matching home grinder. The Aria V is backed by warranty plus your statutory rights under Australian Consumer Law, with servicing and repairs handled by our in-house Sydney team. Free shipping applies on eligible orders over $200, with finance options including Afterpay, Zip and PayPal. Contact us on (02) 9758 0760 or support@dipacci.com.au.
