Machine Overview

The Lelit Victoria is priced at $1099 and targets beginners, while the Bezzera Aria PID (Flow Control) is positioned at a higher price point of $2199 and is designed for intermediate users. Both machines are classified as semi-automatic, but their skill level and price differences may influence a user's choice based on their experience and budget.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Victoria features a button activation system and a single boiler made of brass with a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. On the other hand, the Bezzera Aria utilizes lever activation with a copper heat exchanger and an identical heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. Both machines use chrome-plated brass for the brew group, have a 58mm portafilter, and employ vibration pump types, although the Bezzera has a slightly larger water reservoir capacity at 2.9 liters compared to Lelit’s 2.5 liters.

Features Comparison

When considering key features, the Lelit Victoria includes an auto shutoff, PID control, and pre-infusion capability, but lacks steam pressure gauge and concurrent brew steam features. Conversely, the Bezzera Aria PID boasts steam pressure gauge, concurrent brew steam functionality, and flow control, enhancing its capabilities. While both machines maintain similar essential features such as hot water access, shot timers, and solenoid valves, the Bezzera has more advanced handling options for an intermediate experience.
