Currently playing with one of these and... kinda in love with it. I find the shots from the BZ10 to be a little lighter than the E61s I've played with, and so I can tolerate a double, as opposed to drinking two singles from a double pour as I do with E61. I've noticed this also means some body is lost in lattes - but it's a nice option to have, and I'll play a little longer :-)

Can someone with this machine answer this for me...Just wondering if you can measure the distance from the bottom of the portafilter to the drip tray? Thanks.

I guess so but it's not too much of a concern. I bench every machine anyway and expect to have to do something to them.Originally posted by Casa Espresso View PostThats disappointing Noidle,
I had another machine come in that was brand new out of the box, purchased from a large box seller in Sydney. The customer unpacked it when they got home (350km away from Sydney), it heated up but no water from the group. When he checked the box, it was a 2016 model.Originally posted by Caffeinator View PostIt's a lesson not to purchase from a box seller and for the purchaser to place some value in the relationship and service provided.
He contacted the company he bought it from to express disappointment that his new machine wasn't exactly "new" and wasn't working.
They contracted it to me for repair, I found a small chunk of material blocking the group solenoid. Whether this was from the manufacturing process or the machine had been sitting with water in it since 2016 in the box, I don't know.
It was a textbook example of buying something at the cheapest possible price. The customer isn't really to know any better though, if you buy something brand new in a box you expect it to work properly.

Sad to see.
When people seek out the lowest possible price and then squeeze nuts even harder, they'll generally get what they pay for: zero service.

Thats disappointing Noidle,
We see OPV settings out of the factory too high far too often. They need to be bench tested and set here.

A BZ10 that I ordered from the importer recently was running about 12 bar at the group. To adjust the OPV requires the removal of the entire outer body, not a great design.Originally posted by hm520 View PostRather than start a new thread - I may have read somewhere that the new BZ10s come with a lower 9bar OPV setting down from the previous 12-13 - is this true, or do new machines require modification still??
THanks
Make sure whoever you get it from demonstrates the machine for you or can guarantee that they have tested and adjusted it as required. If the machine is in the original box with the packing straps still around it, chances are it hasn't been tested.

Hello HMOriginally posted by hm520 View PostRather than start a new thread - I may have read somewhere that the new BZ10s come with a lower 9bar OPV setting down from the previous 12-13 - is this true, or do new machines require modification still??

No the OPV hasnt been changed. Same one as all ways.
When you buy a machine it should be bench tested and the OPV adjusted as necessary. Additionally, as with most vibe pump machines, what you see on the gauge is not what you get at the group head in terms of pressure.
Buy from a reputable re seller (not a box shipper) and they will set the OPV to the correct level

Jenkinson, worth sending an email to your retailer. A number of brands have different boilers for different markets, best to get an accurate answer. The spelling above would indicate a US site - or an Australian who can't spell.

thanks for that. greatly appreciatedOriginally posted by dusterio View PostQuote: "The boiler itself has a 1.5-liter capacity and is nickel-plated copper, where most other machines on the market today use aluminum boilers, lined with stainless steel."
Even got some pictures
