Subject: Anyone seen the bezzera grinders?


Came across a local place that sells the Bezzera BB004 NT for a good price.
Naturally I went looking online, only to find no reviews and very little
information.

Has anyone used this grinder? It's priced half-way between the Baratza
Virtuoso and the Rocky, and looks more attractive than either one.

Sorry to reply to myself but just been reading their site and they claim to
have invented the espresso machine. I thought that was supposed to be Gaggia
or am I showing my ignorance? Waiting to be shot down,

I believe Bezzera patented the steam-driven espresso machine in 1901.
Gaggia, using Cremonesi's 1938 design, got a patent on the spring-loaded
piston machine in 1947.

And Faema introduced the pump-driven machine in 1961.

Looks like I'm replying to myself, too....

Yeah, exactly. Also, their website was pretty horrible. Very little
info on the grinder, and light red text on a darker red background. Ugh!
