Know before you buy
Yes. Because the Mozzafiato uses a 1.8-liter heat-exchange boiler, you can pull your shot and steam your milk simultaneously without waiting for the machine to switch modes.
The built-in timer automatically starts the moment you engage the brew lever. It provides a precise way to monitor your extraction time, helping you achieve consistent results without needing an external scale or phone.
The E61 group head is a professional standard known for its thermal stability. It is continuously heated by the boiler, ensuring that the water hitting your coffee grounds remains at a consistent temperature for a balanced extraction.
You can fine-tune the brewing temperature using the discreet PID controller hidden behind the drip tray. This allows you to adjust the boiler temperature to better suit the roast profile of your specific coffee beans.
While it is a professional-grade machine, the semi-automatic operation is straightforward once you learn the basics of dialing in your grind. It is an excellent choice for someone who wants to grow their skills and appreciates the tactile experience of a manual steam wand and lever operation.
No, the Mozzafiato Type V is designed for use with its internal water reservoir. This makes it much easier to set up in a home kitchen without needing specialized plumbing.
