The Bezzera Hobby 1 Group is an Italian-made espresso machine that brings professional design and build quality into a compact, accessible package. Built by Bezzera — one of the most historic names in espresso, with roots going back to Luigi Bezzera’s original 1901 patent — the Hobby is designed for home baristas and very light use who want a proper espresso machine without the scale and cost of a full commercial setup.
The machine features a commercial-grade group head and a 3-way solenoid valve — a feature normally found on professional machines — which releases pressure from the group after brewing, keeping the puck dry and making cleaning straightforward. The 0.25L boiler heats quickly and the dedicated boiler refill button makes topping up simple. A steam wand lets you texture milk for flat whites, cappuccinos, and lattes, and a hot water function covers Americanos and teas.
Available in three colour options — Stainless Steel, Matte Black, and Red — the Hobby is compact enough for a home kitchen counter or a small back-bar setup, at 220mm wide × 250mm deep × 350mm tall and 10kg.
For venues needing a machine capable of sustained commercial output, we’d recommend stepping up to a machine with a larger boiler — contact our team and we can help match the right machine to your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Bezzera Hobby suitable for a café or commercial environment?
The Bezzera Hobby is best suited to home use or very light settings with low espresso volumes. Its 0.25L boiler is not designed for sustained high-volume commercial service. For small cafés or hospitality use, we’d recommend a machine from the traditional espresso range with a larger commercial boiler. Get in touch and we can advise on the right machine for your output.
