Bezzera Flowcontrol Kit – Rosewood
A gentle, slow pre-infusion, then you manually open the flow a little further – and feel how the shot responds. The warm rosewood knob also makes this interaction a tactile pleasure.
What the Flowcontrol Does
The Flowcontrol kit replaces the upper part of the E61 group and controls the water flow directly at the brew head. By slowly opening the valve, you determine the pre-infusion and the flow rate during the shot. This allows you to experience manual flow profiling – a learning process, not just pushing a button. Pressure and flow shape the aromatic window: different compounds dissolve at different times, and a gentle pre-infusion gives the puck time to moisten evenly.
The kit is easy to install and fits all Bezzera models with an E61 brew head. The knob is made of warm rosewood. Espresso is complex, but not rocket science – enjoyment comes before perfection. That's our opinion, one of many.

Who it's For
For anyone with an E61 group Bezzera who wants to experiment with pre-infusion and flow, and appreciates a warm rosewood touch. Nobody needs it – but those who enjoy delving deeper into extraction will find it a beautiful tool.
What Goes With It
You can find the matching machine in the Bezzera Collection. Since grind size and flow interact, it's worth taking a look at Coffee Grinders. A scale with flow rate display from the Acaia Collection makes the interaction visible. Unsure which machine suits you? The Coffee Machine Comparison will help.
