Bezzera Strega V Tanked Coffee Machine

Instead of an electric pump forcing water at a constant pressure, a spring-lever machine uses a tensioned spring. You raise the lever to charge the spring and pre-infuse the coffee, then release it — the spring drives the shot with a naturally declining pressure curve. Many enthusiasts prize this profile for producing sweet, full-bodied espresso with great clarity. The Strega's quick-touch levers make the action smooth and approachable.

There's a short learning curve compared with a button-driven machine, but it's part of the appeal — and the Strega's quick-touch lever design makes it more forgiving than traditional manual levers. Once you've found your rhythm, pulling a lever shot becomes a satisfying ritual. Our team is happy to walk you through technique; call (02) 9758 0760.

Yes — the Strega uses a heat-exchanger (HX) boiler, so you can pull a shot and steam milk simultaneously. The 2-litre boiler provides ample steam power for milk-based drinks like flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos.

No — the Strega V is the tank version, with a 4-litre internal reservoir and a flip-top lid for easy filling. There's no plumbing required, so you can place it anywhere with a power point. A vibration pump assists with boiler filling and pre-infusion.

Like all prosumer espresso machines, the Strega doesn't include a grinder, and a quality burr grinder is essential — lever machines in particular reward a consistent, fine grind, so our team can recommend a good match. The Strega is backed by warranty plus your statutory rights under Australian Consumer Law, with servicing and repairs handled by our in-house Sydney team. Free shipping applies on eligible orders over $200, with finance options including Afterpay, Zip and PayPal. Contact us on (02) 9758 0760 or support@dipacci.com.au.
