Professional experience in a homely package
Here at CleverCoffee, with a good mix of baristas, coffee geeks and regular office mice, it is rare that we have used a home machine that is so easy for all of us to access. Bellona is built in a way that is intuitive on many levels, providing an unmatched experience in this price range.
It is in many ways designed to imitate a professional espresso machine. From the long handle to activate the steam arm, the built-in screen with shot timer and the two temperature-stable boilers with individual control.
These functions help to remove some of the troublesome variables in espresso brewing, such as manually keeping an eye on boiler and group head temperature or having to stop and start a timer. Instead, the focus is on the most important steps, namely tasting and adjusting the recipe.
In other words, Bellona allows the barista to focus on the craft of espresso brewing and completely forget about the equipment.
Bellona is built in high-quality materials and with high-end parts that ensure both a good-looking but also reliable machine. It combines German ingenuity and precision with a delicious, simple and intuitive design.
Bellezza has developed the brew head itself, which they call "saturated ring brew group", but is also known as a semi saturated group head. For those who love to explore the flavour universe of coffee through espresso, the machine's group head, together with the PID-controlled boilers, can create a high level of stability and control. You therefore have the opportunity to fully develop the unique taste and aroma of the individual coffee.
For those who love to brew café lattes and cappuccinos, the machine's high and constant steam pressure is enough to steam pot after pot without a break. At the same time, the machine can brew espresso with the same high degree of stability. The total brewing time per cup is therefore low, and thus family and friends do not have to wait long for a nice cup.
