What it does
A cordless electric pasta maker shaped like a gun. You fill the stainless steel cylinder with dough and a motor-driven piston pushes it through a disc that shapes it into spaghetti or tagliatelle.

Read the full description
Bozanis is an electric pasta maker that you hold in one hand, like a gun: a dark green body with a grip and a button, and a stainless steel cylinder that you fill with dough. A piston driven by the motor pushes the dough through a disc and the pasta comes out already shaped. It runs on a battery, with no cable, and it is made for anyone who wants fresh pasta on a weekday without getting out the roller machine or clamping anything to the table.
A cordless electric pasta maker: the piston does the pushing
With a hand-cranked machine you turn with one hand and catch the pasta with the other. Here you load the cylinder, press the button and the piston moves forward by itself, which leaves you a hand free for cutting. The built-in battery recharges by USB-C with the cable supplied; the charging time and the approximate number of loads of dough per charge are listed in the specifications table.
Discs for homemade spaghetti and tagliatelle
The shape is decided by the disc you fit to the end of the cylinder. The set includes discs for round pasta, thinner or thicker, and for flat ribbons of different widths. Swapping one for another takes a moment, so you can make spaghetti for one dish and tagliatelle for another from the same dough. The list of discs is in the specifications table.
A pasta gun that goes straight to the pot
Because you hold it in your hand, you can point the disc at the pot of boiling water and let the pasta drop in, cutting it to length with scissors or a knife. If you would rather prepare it ahead, let the strands come out onto a floured tray and separate them so they do not stick. Cut close to the disc and you get short pieces for soup.
The dough: softer than for a roller machine
This is what matters most for it to work well. The dough has to be smooth and softer than dough that is rolled out between rollers: a dry, stiff dough slows the piston down and can stop it. If you notice it struggling, take the dough out, knead it with a few drops of water and load it again. Each cylinder holds enough dough for a couple of portions, so a family meal means refilling it several times.
How to use it
Prepare the dough
Knead until it is smooth and soft, then let it rest, covered, so that it relaxes.
Load the cylinder
Shape a roll, slide it into the steel cylinder, fit the disc you want and attach the cylinder to the body.
Press the button
Point it at the pot or the floured tray and press: the piston pushes the dough and the pasta starts to come out.
Cut to length
Cut the strands with scissors or a knife when they are as long as you like them.
Refill with pauses
When the cylinder is empty, let the motor rest for a moment before loading the next batch.
Cleaning and maintenance
When you finish, take off the cylinder and the discs and wash them by hand with warm water and washing-up liquid. The holes in the discs are easier to clean with the brush supplied, before the dough dries inside them. The body, with the motor and the battery, must not get wet: wipe it with a damp cloth. Dry all the parts well before putting it away, and recharge the battery now and then if you go a long time without using it.
Frequently asked questions
What dough does a cordless electric pasta maker need?
A smooth dough with no lumps, softer than the one used with a roller machine. If it is dry or stiff, the piston slows down and may stop; if it is too sticky, the strands stick to each other as they come out. Adjust it with a few drops of water or a little flour and let it rest, covered, before loading it.
How much pasta comes out of each load of the cylinder?
The cylinder holds enough dough for a couple of portions; the approximate capacity in grams is in the specifications table. For a family meal you will have to refill it several times. It helps to divide the dough beforehand into rolls the size of the cylinder and keep them covered, so you can load one after another, letting the motor rest between batches.
Can this pasta gun make lasagne sheets or ravioli?
No. It is an extrusion machine: it pushes the dough through a disc and produces long pasta, round or flat, which you can also cut into short pieces. Lasagne sheets, cannelloni and filled pasta need dough rolled out with a rolling pin or a roller machine. If lasagne is what you make most, this is not the appliance for you.
Can it be used as a tagliatelle maker straight over the pot?
Yes, that is one of its advantages. Fit a flat ribbon disc, hold it at some height above the boiling water and cut the strands with scissors when they are as long as you want. Mind the steam on your hand. Fresh pasta cooks sooner than dried pasta: taste a strand to know when it is done.
Can the cylinder and the discs go in the dishwasher?
We recommend washing them by hand with warm water and washing-up liquid as soon as you finish, while the dough is still soft. The brush helps to clear the holes in the discs. The body of the machine, which holds the motor and the battery, must not be immersed or held under the tap: wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it.
How is this electric fresh pasta maker charged and how long does the battery last?
It charges with the USB-C cable supplied, plugged into a phone charger or a USB port; the mains adapter does not come in the box. The charging time and the approximate number of loads of dough per charge are listed in the specifications table. A soft dough uses less battery than a stiff one.
