Izzo Alex PID (listed as Alex Pid Plus on the manufacturer's data sheet) is a heat-exchanger machine with a Faema E61 group, made by Gruppo Izzo in Anagni (Frosinone) with a 2.3-litre stainless steel boiler. The manufacturer states that the heat exchanger allows continuous operation without compromising steam performance during use. Stated dimensions are 36.4x45x41.6 cm for a weight of 30 kg. The manufacturer states power supply in two standards, 220V and 110V, rated at 1400W and 1350W respectively.
The hydraulic circuit is powered by a rotary pump with a professional motor, switchable between the mains water supply and the 2.3-litre tank. Electronic control is a programmable PID with an integrated shot timer, and the manufacturer states a double pressure gauge, for boiler pressure and pump pressure.
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 steam wand type, or the portafilter diameter.

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.
