    Re: Bezzera BZ99 Help!

    Thanks Everyone for their suggestions.

    I had it quickly serviced for ~$200 and the machine now runs quite well. I did go out an buy a Giotto however So I think this machine will make its way to my brother who is still using my old Krups machine. (One of those that spits the water out)

    Giotto rocks btw.. took me less than 3 shots to get awesome result.

      Just watched your YouTube video, pretty special. I know this is an old thread, however a friend has loaned me a bz99 she had sitting in her garage, as she has upgraded to pod coffee . The thing is driving me nuts, although I am getting a Alex izzo in a few days, so hopefully you will see a shot like yours in the near future...

        Took me a while to get the hang of mine Robdog. What's the problem you are having?

          More than likely my main issue is patience. However firstly I choked the machine then I got the quick shot. I know my friend had it fully serviced at jetblack before putting it in mothballs, and it does all the things it should. I've only thrown three pulls through it, and thought I'd get away without a flush after the machine sat for a minute or so, wrong. I've had a read and I'll revisit in the morning after I've hit it with lower dose and tighter grind. If I can't sort it by lunch I'll be back, however I believe as said my main problem is patience.

            Also I should add I'm using a rocky doser grinder, and I've got kjm blend out of my hottop 5 days old, so I believe it's just me

              I've owned two BZ99s over the past 17 years and can say that this is a typical problem. They are just a bit finicky to use and really need a very precise grind and dose to get consistent results.

              I recently upgraded to a Magica and the difference is amazing. It is a much more "forgiving" machine in terms of dose and grind and I've not one had a problem with it spitting like the BZ99 used to.
