Bezzera Unica Overview
The Bezzera Unica Bianco is a rugged espresso machine with an old-world personality that speaks to people who really love espresso. The standout feature of the Unica Bianco is its PID and elegant white painted side panels. The PID controller moderates the boiler temperature for both steaming and brewing, giving the Unica Biancogreat temperature stability and the ability to tinker for anyone who wants a more nuanced extraction from specialty coffee.
Features and Performance
Now, it’s important to keep in mind that this is a single boiler machine, which means the Unica Bianco uses a single boiler for brewing and steaming. A little extra patience is required when switching from brewing to steaming while the boiler heats up. With that said, the Unica Bianco is well-built with a 3-way solenoid valve, a vibration pump, and the iconic E61 group head made of chrome-plated brass. The machine comes with a multi-directional steam wand with a joystick control and a two-hole steam tip, as well.
Why You Should Get It
What we first noticed about the Unica Bianco is its simple, compact design. At about 10 inches wide, in can fit in just about any space. Plus, the Unica Biancocan heat up quickly because of its single 0.5 copper boiler, which means you can get your morning coffee a lot sooner than with other machines. Do note that the Unica Bianco’s boiler does have to be manually refilled after steaming over 20 ounces of milk, which can be done by flipping the “P” switch to refill the boiler. The Unica Bianco is really designed for those who are looking for an espresso machine that has a fine setup and pulls quality shots.
