Bezzera Sole is a heat-exchanger machine with an E61 group, stated by the manufacturer to deliver thermal stability comparable to a commercial machine despite its compact footprint (305x455x415 mm, 27 kg). The hydraulic circuit draws from a dual water source: a rotary pump can pull from the internal 4-litre tank or be connected directly to the water mains, without a fixed choice between the two.
Electronic control is handled by a PID with a shot timer, letting the user set the brew temperature and time the extraction to keep coffee flow under control. Stated power supply is 220-240V in the European version (110-120V in the North American version), both at 50-60Hz, with a nominal power of 1500W in the European version.
The manufacturer does not specify the operating pressure in bar, the pre-infusion type, the presence of a 3-way valve, the boiler material, the heat-up time, the presence of a pressure gauge, the steam wand type, or the portafilter diameter.
It offers the best performance-to-price ratio among the 20 semi-professional Heat exchanger machines (between €2,000 and €5,000), with a technical score of 100/100.

Seven grams, twenty-five seconds, twenty-five millilitres: Italian espresso has a written specification, and this is it.
The same dose as an espresso, less water in the cup. No institutional source fixes its volume — so here you will only find what is documented.
25 ml of espresso and 100 ml of steamed milk, in a 150–160 ml cup. The cappuccino has a specification too.
An espresso and a stain of milk. How much milk, exactly? No source declares it — and we do not invent it.
An espresso lengthened with hot water. The amount of water is set by no standard: it changes from country to country and from bar to bar.
Double espresso, sugar syrup and ice in a shaker. It has no specification: it has a house recipe.
