Bezzera Strega V Spring Lever with Heat Exchanger Boiler

The Strega is a spring lever espresso machine with modern internals: a 2L heat exchanger boiler, an electrically heated group and a pump that fills the boiler and pre-infuses the coffee for you. The V version runs from a 4L tank.

Lever machines make espresso differently. Instead of a pump holding constant pressure, a spring pushes water through the coffee and the pressure eases off as the shot runs. Bezzera, which has built espresso machines in Milan since 1901, kept that mechanism for the Strega and added the conveniences that older lever machines lack.

Why the Strega has the following it does

The Strega is one of the few lever machines that is practical to live with every day. These are the reasons.

Declining pressure, naturally

Pull the lever down, let the coffee pre-infuse, then release. The spring delivers pressure that tapers through the shot, a profile lever fans prize for sweetness and body.

Pump-assisted workflow

A vibration pump refills the boiler and pushes water onto the coffee while the lever is down. You get the lever shot without the manual filling that older machines need.

Heated lever group

The group has its own heating element, which keeps it at a steadier temperature between shots than a group that relies on the boiler alone.

Steam while you brew

The 2L heat exchanger boiler keeps steam available while the shot runs, so milk coffees do not slow you down.

See it in action

Who it suits

  • Lever espresso enthusiasts who want the ritual without the quirks of a vintage machine
  • Home baristas chasing sweeter, fuller-bodied shots from a declining pressure profile
  • Households that still want strong steam for milk coffees
  • Kitchens with the height to make a tall lever machine the feature of the bench

Setup note: the Strega stands about 710mm tall and the lever needs room to travel, so check the space under any overhead cupboards before ordering. Place it on a solid bench, because pulling the lever puts real force through the machine. It is tank-fed and runs from a standard earthed power point.

Getting the best out of it

Lever machines are sensitive to grind and dose, so a capable grinder matters. Choose one from our home coffee grinders, use freshly roasted coffee beans, and adjust the grind until the lever rises smoothly over the length of the shot.

Never release the lever without a loaded portafilter locked in, as it will snap upwards with force. Use filtered water to protect the boiler, and wipe the group gasket and shower screen after each session. If you would like to compare pump-driven machines, see the Bezzera Matrix or browse home coffee machines.

Frequently asked questions

How does a spring lever machine like the Strega work?

You pull the lever down to compress a spring and let water onto the coffee for pre-infusion. When you release the lever, the spring pushes the water through the coffee, and the pressure eases off as the shot runs.

Is a lever machine hard to use?

There is a learning curve compared with a button-operated machine, mostly in matching grind and dose to the lever. The Strega makes it easier because a pump handles boiler filling and pre-infusion for you.

Can I brew espresso and steam milk at the same time?

Yes. The Strega has a 2L heat exchanger boiler, so steam is available while you pull a shot.

Does the Strega V need plumbing?

No. The V is the tank version, with a 4L internal tank and a low-water cut-out. It only needs a power point.

How much space does it need?

The Strega is about 330mm wide, 450mm deep and 710mm high. Check the clearance under overhead cupboards and use a solid bench, because the lever puts real force through the machine.

Do I need a separate grinder?

Yes. The Strega is an espresso machine only, so it needs a burr grinder capable of a fine, consistent espresso grind. Our home coffee grinders collection covers suitable options.

What warranty applies?
