Bezzera Flowcontrol Kit – Rosewood
A gentle, slow pre-infusion, then you open the flow a little further by hand – and feel how the shot responds. The warm rosewood knob makes this interplay a pleasure to touch as well.
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 curve during the shot. This lets you experience flow profiling by hand – a learning process, not the push of a button. Pressure and flow shape the aromatic time window: different compounds dissolve at different points, and a gentle pre-infusion gives the puck time to saturate evenly.
The kit is easy to install and fits all Bezzera models with an E61 brew head. The knob is crafted from warm rosewood. Espresso is complex, but it's not rocket science – enjoyment comes before perfection. That's our opinion, one of many.

Who It's For
For anyone with a Bezzera on the E61 group who wants to experiment with pre-infusion and flow, and who likes a warm rosewood touch. Nobody needs it – but for anyone who enjoys diving deeper into extraction, it's a beautiful tool to have.
What Goes With It
The matching machine can be found in the Bezzera Collection. Since grind size and flow interact, it's worth a look at the Coffee Grinders. A scale with a flow-rate display from the Acaia Collection makes that interplay visible. Not sure which machine fits? The Coffee Machine Comparison will help you decide.
