  • Older Bezzera Automatic - Mystery Model

    I recently bought a older Bezzera w/no nameplate.  It looks much the same as the "Minibar" discussed on other posts but has a keypad, spring-loaded steam/water valves and a rotary pump.  It was stored in a garage for years and is essentially unused.  I got it to run and heat up but I need help with some questions:
    1-There is no flow meter.  How can the automatic feature function without one?
    2-Does anyone have any idea where I can get a manual?  [I have pdf manual for BZ35 which is similar]
    3-The dispersion plate/shower screen seems to enter much deeper into the portafilter/coffee filter than what I am used to.  I use a Rancilio portafilter in my other machine. I fill filter to top, scrape flat, tamp and lock it in.  I tried doing this with the Bezzera and no go.  Had to leave basket partially empty.  Not enough coffee to produce good shot. 
    4-I need to get a steam wand.  Any suggestions for parts? I havent seen any spring-loaded valves in any manuals, etc. The attachment is on the side of steam tap not on bottom as most.
    I would appreciate hearing anything that may be offered.  Thanks.
