Features & Benefits

✔ Manual Flow Control Paddle – Adjust water flow in real-time to create unique flavor profiles and enhance body, sweetness, and clarity in your espresso. The paddle provides the flexibility to experiment with pre-infusion times, pressure profiles, and shot duration, ensuring optimal extraction for each coffee type.

✔ Dual Boiler System – Separate stainless steel 1.5L steam boiler and 800ml brew boiler maintain consistent temperatures for steaming and brewing, allowing you to steam milk and pull shots simultaneously without fluctuations.

✔ PID Temperature Control – Advanced digital temperature regulation for both the brew and steam boiler ensures precision control over extraction temperature, resulting in more stable shots and improved flavor consistency.

✔ Silent Rotary Pump – Unlike traditional vibratory pumps, the rotary pump operates quietly while providing constant pressure and smoother water flow, ensuring consistent espresso extraction. It also allows the machine to be used with either a water tank or direct plumbing connection.

✔ E61 Group Head with Pre-Infusion – The professional-grade E61 group head ensures optimal heat retention and pre-infusion, gently saturating the coffee grounds before full pressure is applied, leading to more even extraction and richer crema.

✔ No-Burn Steam & Hot Water Wands – Multi-directional steam and hot water wands feature an insulated, no-burn design, making them safer to touch and preventing accidental burns while providing powerful steam for creamy microfoam.

✔ Eco Mode & Standby Timer – The energy-efficient Eco Mode helps reduce power consumption when not in use, while the programmable standby timer ensures the machine is ready to brew when needed.

✔ External or Internal Water Tank (2.5L Capacity) – A unique detachable water tank system allows you to position the tank in different locations or switch to direct plumbing for continuous water supply, offering greater flexibility in setup.

✔ Commercial-Grade Stainless Steel Build – The entire machine is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability, heat retention, and a premium aesthetic that complements any coffee station.

Feature Explanations

1. Manual Flow Control Paddle

This unique feature gives the user precise control over water flow during extraction. By adjusting the paddle, you can manipulate how pressure is applied to the coffee puck, allowing for customized pre-infusion, blooming, and pressure profiles. This enables the extraction of delicate flavors, ideal for single-origin beans and espresso experimentation.

2. Dual Boiler System

Unlike single boiler machines, Bianca’s dual boiler system allows users to brew espresso and steam milk at the same time. The independent brew boiler (800ml) ensures consistent espresso temperature, while the steam boiler (1.5L) provides powerful, continuous steam for effortless milk frothing.

3. PID Temperature Control

A digital PID controller regulates the temperature of both boilers, ensuring unwavering stability. Users can adjust the brew temperature in 0.1°C increments, allowing them to fine-tune extraction to suit different coffee beans.

4. Silent Rotary Pump & Direct Plumbing Option

The rotary pump provides more stable pressure and quieter operation compared to traditional vibratory pumps. Additionally, Bianca offers the choice of using a 2.5L external water tank or connecting the machine directly to a water line, eliminating the need for manual refilling.

5. E61 Group Head with Pre-Infusion

The professional-grade E61 group head maintains thermal stability and includes an automatic pre-infusion system that evenly saturates the coffee grounds before extraction, resulting in fuller-bodied espresso and enhanced crema production.

6. No-Burn Steam & Hot Water Wands

Both the steam and hot water wands are multi-directional and feature an insulated, cool-touch design, preventing burns while still delivering high-pressure steam for silky-smooth milk frothing.

7. Eco Mode & Energy Efficiency

Lelit Bianca V3 introduces an eco-friendly standby mode that helps save energy when the machine is not in use. The standby timer can be programmed to turn the machine on and off automatically, making it perfect for daily use.

8. Adjustable Water Tank Position & Direct Plumbing

Unlike most machines with fixed water tanks, Bianca’s 2.5L water tank is fully detachable and can be positioned in multiple ways to fit different setups. If you prefer continuous water flow, simply connect the machine directly to a water supply.

9. Commercial-Grade Stainless Steel Construction

Built with premium stainless steel, Bianca ensures durability, longevity, and a stylish modern look. The quality materials also contribute to better heat retention and a professional coffee experience.
