{"product_id":"bezzera-luce-pid-espresso-machine","title":"Bezzera LUCE PID Espresso Machine","description":"\u003cp\u003eBezzera have been building espresso machines in Milan since 1901, and the LUCE PID is a clean expression of what they do well — a heat exchanger with a proper E61 group, PID temperature control, and traditional Italian build quality. It pulls balanced shots and steams milk fast enough to keep up with a busy morning. At $2,950 you're saving $850 against RRP. Same authorised machine, same 24-month Australian warranty, serviced locally — just sensibly priced because we source direct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho this machine suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaily flat white and latte drinkers who want a single machine that handles both brewing and steaming without compromise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuyers who want the look of a traditional Italian E61 machine — chrome, brass, lever group — and the substance to match\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople upgrading from a Breville or entry-level prosumer who've outgrown the steam power and temperature stability of their current setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone shopping the Mara X, ECM Classika, or Profitec Pro 300 and weighing value — the LUCE sits in that tier with stronger savings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot the right fit if you want simultaneous brew and steam at independently set temperatures — that needs a dual boiler.
