Machine Overview

The Bezzera Strega and Lelit Victoria are both semi-automatic espresso machines, catering to different user skill levels and budgets. The Bezzera Strega, priced at $2,650, is targeted at advanced users, while the Lelit Victoria is more affordable at $1,099 and designed for beginners.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Bezzera Strega utilizes a lever activation system with a heat exchanger heating element, taking about 15-30 minutes to heat up. The Lelit Victoria features a button activation and a single boiler system, with a quicker heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. Both machines have a chrome plated brass brew group but differ in their group types; the Strega uses a sprung lever, while the Victoria employs Lelit58.

Features Comparison

When it comes to key features, the Bezzera Strega supports concurrent brewing and steaming, along with pre-infusion, although it does not have an auto shutoff or a boiler pressure gauge. In contrast, the Lelit Victoria includes an auto shutoff feature, a boiler pressure gauge, and PID control for more accurate temperature regulation. Both machines have steam wands and offer pre-infusion, but the Bezzera has a no-burn wand while the Lelit does not.
