RELATED PRODUCTS

Bianca is an espresso machine without compromises, with E61 group, manual control of the water flow and dual boiler. It has been created for those expert baristas that know how to get the best out of every coffee. This is version 3 of the Bianca.

Please note: There may be coffee grinds in your machine. Lelit tests every single machine before they box them, to ensure they are operating at their best.

More Info

Repositionable water tank with automatic coupling. Biancas water tank is seated in the stainless steel external backpack to avoid a possible heating up of the water temperature. It can be repositioned on each of the three sides of the machine to better adapt itself to the available space. It can be easily removed to allow an easy cleaning.

Measure the real extraction pressure. Thanks to the manometer on the E61 group you can measure the real pressure on the coffee puck having a much more precise and accurate control of the coffee extraction.

Standard equipment. Complete portafilter with 1 shot and 2 shots filters, bottomless portafilter with 18/20 g filter, blind filter, 70 L water softener, Lelit stainless steel tamper with aluminium handle, group cleaning brush, microfibre cloth, optional steam wand nozzle, accessories for direct water plumbing, espresso cup rack and coffee measuring spoon.

Stainless steel appliance body and parts. The appliance body and the water tray are made in polished AISI 304 stainless steel, the king of all materials, to grant an unlimited lifetime, a superior aesthetic look and an easy cleaning.

Anti-burn/cool touch wands. The new Lelit wands are all cool touch, to avoid any burn and have a new geometry to facilitate cleaning, avoid the limestone formation and allow a more satisfying use experience.

Adjustable feet. Biancas feet are made of the same wood of all the other machine details and are adjustable in height. This allows a great stability on any surface and, in case of direct plumbing, allows the machine inclination to facilitate the water drain.

Energy saving. Bianca is equipped with a sophisticated energy saving system that allows programming the stand-by time, after which the steam boiler is disabled. The coffee boiler maintains a temperature of 70c and the efficiency of the warming cup surface is kept at 80%. The machine returns in the full energy modus in just 10 minutes, granting this way a significant energy saving.

Technical settings. A super performing machine like Bianca must be able to adapt the different working conditions and to the different extraction needs of each barista. To obtain this result, Bianca is equipped with a technical submenu, where you can customize the settings, such as the PID parameters that determine the thermoregulation.

Gorgeous machine, great coffee, frustrating PID/Menu

The machine itself is great, on par with any great e61 out there and loaded with features. The build quality and looks are out of this world.

The only thing driving me a bit nuts is the PID/LCC menus and how painful they are to navigate. There is no way to save different shot profiles/programs and no way to reset things quickly to go back in manual mode so it makes using all those new cool features of the Bianca V3 a pain in the butt and you have to assume a v4 will come out with a revamped LCC or an app. It is honestly mind boggling that a $4k machine sold in 2024 is using such old school programming and electronics when smart objects are more affordable than ever and a great programmer can be found easily.

Tldr : If you don't care about programmable features this is a beast and makes great coffee, if you care about the different modes and already have a good machine I'd wait it out for Lelit to step up their game with their outdated LCC.

Very good purchase

It is an excellent Espresso Machine. You have to be patient at first to master the grinding/quantity/infusion of the coffee but it works perfectly once you've invest some time to fully understand all the features of the machine.

Lelit Bianca V2

The Lelit Bianca has been a great espresso machine. Well built and craftsmanship. Being able to reposition the water tank is a big plus. Flow control feature helps me dial in my shots more. Comes with everything you would need to get started.

Quality Machine at Affordable Price

Having looked at all the major espresso maker brands the Lelit stood out as having the best functions for the money and the most asthetically pleasing as a kitchen appliance. The inclusion of the multifunctional LCD display, pressure profiling, removable water tank and being plumbing ready were important factors that went into the decision.

Having came from a superautomatic, the biggest difference is the much, much better crema quality, ability to fine tune the extraction using adjustable pressure in real time to ensure I get the best tasting coffee extraction every time and also the very powerful steam broiler that can get a grande size milk heated in 30 seconds.

Initially I thought it would be complicated to pull levers and turn knobs but turns out it's very simple once the coffee making process is muscle memory.
Maintenance wise, there is nothing much to it other than changing the water softener, wiping the machine as required and backflushing the internals (it's super easy). It's less high-maintenance than my previous super automatic and there are no electronic nannies to force you to clean the machine, so you can do it at your own leisure.

If there was anything to nit-pick, is that the machine does not come with an auto-power on function - so buy a separate smart power bar (make sure it is rated for 15 amps). That is really the only thing I can think of.

Overall, Lelit has hit this one out of the park, and there's nothing else that comes close at all.

Also thanks to ECS for offering a package deal when bought with the grinder; they also threw in many bags of coffee!

Better than my Rocket

I used to have a Rocket that I bought elsewhere. After having a tonne of issues with it and no support I decided that i would try something new. ECS showed me the Lelit and wow...you get soooooo much more than the Rocket and it is frankly a better machine! Highly recommend and go in to try it out first. You will be amazed.
