Maybe not a progressive communist plot. But I like your thinking! Maybe PID-controlled electrically-heated heads are just the best kept secret.

Manipulative Coercive behaviour is Not tolerated by your fellow male barista mates here mate.
Just kinda gently infer - 'Wow what a tasty coffee these things are s'posed to make. Ita all over the net' blaah blah blah
You watch mate that'll change things in about 3seconds flat..... I reckon.
It does with my betrothed.

Lol, it my wife who has very strict rules about when you can open Christmas presents etc.. I had to resist at least having a peak!
So far I’m enjoying the functionality, fiddling with brew temp (124 steam which I think equates to 92 brew but I could be wrong), pre-infusion (5 sec). Steams milk (both cow & almond) very well & quickly,
Still dialling in the Mignon Specialita, it seems I need to keep going finer but that could also the beans “going off” in the hopper?
As for all the “made in China” comments, I’m not sure that’s entirely true. From what I can ascertain, the outer casing is made in China but all other parts are made in Germany or Italy. It’s a not a problem for me & the deal I received at our site sponsors Di Pacci made it a easy decision.

Hey everyone, figured i'd just jump in here... I've had a Bellezza Inizio R for the last 1 year or so... Had purchased Feb last year and overall haven't been able to fault the overall build quality, nor what the machine is capable of... At that price point i'd been looking at a few different options, namely the Bezzera Mitica TOP and the Crem One. Wasn't too keen on the Crem One's build despite the various electronic options it boasted. I do want to point out that at the time their manufacturing was also in China rather than Spain for these models, overall the Bellezza construction with the completely stainless drip tray was a minor difference but still meant that in my opinion they weren't cutting corners.
I'll post a pic below... I've loved this machine through and through. Having owned a few vibe pumps before, I will never go back. The rotary is quiet and consistent... Open to any questions you may have? I've opened the unit up too, looks pretty darn standard to me having again seen the inside guts of Expobar, Quickmill, Nuova Simonelli... and a few more machines.
I suck at hyperlinking.... But worked out out to upload the image; https://i.postimg.cc/7LC2QFbN/270219...89611297-n.jpg

I have had a Belleza Bellona since august last year and I have found it to be a really good way to get into a higher spec machine (coming from an old school breville single boiler) I’ve enjoyed being able to play with brew temps etc and have to say I make two coffees before 6am and the speed it reaches temp blows me away, great steam pressure and I think it looks great on the bench. I’m sure I’ll find some things that annoy me at some point but up until now I’ve been really happy with my espresso, long blacks and lattes.

I am considering purchasing either the Belleza Inizio R or maybe the V, but finding info and reviews have been a challenge.
My main concerns at this point are warm up time. Is it 25 minutes? And if so, have you used the app to schedule start up times?
would you recommend purchasing Bellezza? All suggestions welcomed.
