Classic, calm, no frills – just the mechanics that have worked for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bezzera Mitica Tank is a classic heat exchanger machine with the Faema E61 brew group, vibration pump and large 2-liter copper boiler – available exclusively as the tank version. Bezzera manufactures it in Italy from polished stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeat Exchanger with Faema E61\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its heart sits the proven Faema E61 brew group with thermosiphon circulation. Water constantly circulates through the heavy brass group, keeps it at temperature, and delivers stable, well-repeatable shots; the E61 also brings a gentle mechanical pre-infusion. As a heat exchanger machine you draw espresso and steam milk at the same time, and the large 2-liter boiler supplies plenty of steam for it. Brewing temperature results from the boiler pressure, which you set at the pressure switch and read on the gauge – there's no PID, but the large boiler keeps the heat calm and steady.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe extract by weight ratio – 1:2 as a starting point, so around 18 g of coffee to 36 g of espresso – and we adjust grind size, dose and temperature until it tastes right to us. There's no right and no wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVibration Pump, Tank and Steam\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mitica Tank works with a vibration pump and is supplied from the removable 4-liter tank, which you can retrofit with a filter attachment. That way you can set it up flexibly, without a plumbed water connection. A dual pressure gauge shows boiler and pump pressure, while you control steam and hot water via two toggle valves; the cold-touch steam wand with a two-hole tip stays cool on the outside and can be locked upright, and the hot water spout is well suited for tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat exchanger machine (brews and steams at the same time)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrew group\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFaema E61, thermosiphon, with lever\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTemperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003evia boiler pressure (pressure switch), no PID\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBoiler\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0 L copper, with automatic fill\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePump\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVibration pump\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGauge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual pressure gauge (boiler and pump pressure)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSteam\/Water\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCold-touch wand, two-hole tip, two toggle valves; separate hot water spout\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePortafilter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWater\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 L removable tank (filter attachment retrofittable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHousing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAISI 304 stainless steel, polished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeat-up time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003earound 15 minutes, a bit longer for full stability of the E61 group\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eca. 1450 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions (W×H×D)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 × 40 × 45 cm, ca. 22,5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in Italy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1- and 2-cup portafilters (7 g \/ 14 g basket), nylon brush, tamper, measuring spoon, blind filter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Mitica Tank Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor everyone who wants the true character of an E61 machine, without a display or electronics – the classic mechanics that matter.
