Bezzera Nini PID PM Portafilter Machine – Dual-Circuit Manual with PID

Model Year 2026

Bezzera Nini PID PM – Manual Control Meets PID Precision

The Bezzera Nini PID PM is designed for a specific target audience: purists who love manual shot handling but don’t want to sacrifice modern temperature control and upgradeability. The machine combines the manual start/stop operation of the PM variant with digital PID temperature control, an integrated shot timer, and the option to retrofit the Bezzera Flow Control Kit.

Manual Digital Temperature Control

The front-mounted PID panel regulates the brew temperature with precision and consistency. When changing beans frequently, using light roasts, or brewing consecutive shots, this stability pays off directly in the cup. The integrated shot timer displays the extraction time in seconds—a feature missing from the non-PID version.

The Flow Control Option

For the first time, Bezzera is offering a Flow Control Kit for the BZ brew group—approved exclusively for PID versions. This enables manual pressure and flow modulation during extraction. The PID PM also features a sensor mount for compatible third-party sensors.

Manual brewing remains manual

PM stands for “Push Manual.” The brew is started and stopped via a push button—there is no automatic volumetric control. You continue to work with a scale and shot timer, but now with digitally controlled temperature and optional flow control.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Bezzera Nini PID PM

What does “PID PM” mean for the Bezzera Nini?

PID = digital proportional-integral-derivative temperature control. PM = “Push Manual,” manual extraction. The Nini PID PM combines manual start/stop with precise PID temperature control and an integrated shot timer.

When is the PID version worth it?

For users who frequently change bean varieties, use light roasts, or want consistent temperature across multiple consecutive shots. Additionally, only the PID version allows for retrofitting flow control.

What distinguishes the Nini PID PM from the Nini PM?

The PID PM adds digital PID temperature control, a built-in shot timer, the option for the Flow Control Kit, and press sensor readiness to the manual PM model. Manual brewing via push button remains the same.

Can I really retrofit the Flow Control Kit?

Yes. Bezzera has approved the Flow Control Kit for the BZ brew group exclusively for the PID versions. The Nini PID PM is prepared for this.

What does “pressor sensor-ready” mean?

The machine has a connection for compatible third-party pressure sensors for extraction analysis. The sensor itself is not included.

What brew group does the Nini PID PM have?

The heated Bezzera BZ brew group with a 58 mm filter basket diameter.

How long does it take to heat up?

About 10 minutes, according to the official manufacturer’s data sheet.

Is a permanent water connection possible?

No. The Nini PID PM operates exclusively with a 3-liter tank and a vibration pump.

What colors are available?

Matte white (RAL 9016), matte black (RAL 9005), and matte green (RAL 6003).

How does the Nini PID PM differ from the Nini PID DE?

The PID PM is operated manually via a push button. The PID DE adds four programmable dispensing buttons plus a stop button—automatic volumetric dispensing. The PID and Flow Control options are identical in both models.

Is the Nini PID PM suitable for milk-based drinks?

Yes. As a dual-circuit machine, it can prepare espresso and milk foam simultaneously.
