Izzo Alex PID Plus

Izzo Alex PID Plus, with its matte black or mirror-finish 304 stainless steel heat-protective body panels, shares the most features with a commercial machine: a “rotary” pump delivers ideal and completely stable brew pressure while being more durable and running quieter than standard vibration pumps; a digital P.I.D. (with integrated shot timer) allows you to adjust steam pressure and brew temperature exactly to your liking; the cool-touch steam wand (with 4 different steam tips to choose from) delivers powerful simultaneous steam. And there is now a joystick control or traditional knob version available.

And the Alex utilizes the most industrial-grade components and best designed internal layout of any E61-style semi-commercial machine, and even includes a conversion kit if you decide to run a direct water-line and/or drainage like a commercial machine.

Topping it off is our custom group temperature modification performed at the factory in Italy. Unlike all other E61-style machines, Alex does not require “cooling flushes” or “temperature surfing”; it maintains the perfect balance between powerful steam pressure and stable, consistent temperature in the brew group, which is adjustable via the integrated P.I.D. This allows for creamy espresso at your ideal temperature every time, without the burden of flushing the group or sacrificing steam pressure.

• Longest-lasting commercial rotary pump quietly delivers the most consistent pressure for perfect extractions
