Lelit Bianca V3 Dual Boiler Espresso Machine Matte White
Lelit Bianca V3 Overview
For the newest iteration of the Bianca line of espresso machines, the experts at Lelit have once again impressed with the Bianca V3. Maple wood accents adorn this Italian-made dual boiler machine, while a powder coated matte white stainless steel frame results in a visually appealing appearance. While the 1.5L steam boiler and 800mL brew boiler are made of stainless steel and insulated for more stable temperatures, rapid heat up times, and simultaneous brewing and steaming.
Features and Performance
Flow control functionality comes standard via Lelit’s patented rotating flow control paddle, while the option for a low flow mode that simulates flow profiles without having to move the paddle. With the paddle rotated all the way to the right, it will allow the max amount of water to flow, which averages between 6-7 ml/s. Rotating the paddle all the way to the left will effectively halt water flow, so rotating the paddle between the two extremes is encouraged to find the ideal flow rate.
The included PID has a digital OLED display and offers customization of settings like brew temperature offset and pre-infusion. Temperature customization comes via the brew temperature offset setting, which allows for temperature adjustments while brewing, while pre-infusion time can be set to the exact number of seconds you would like the pump to run to wet the ground coffee in your portafilter, and then the exact number you would like the pump to turn off to allow the coffee to percolate through the grounds before the brewing process begins.
Additionally, the machine can be run with the included 2.5L water reservoir, or can be plumbed in directly to a water line. A truly unique aspect of this setup is that the water reservoir can be moved to any of the side or back panels to suit your spacing needs. The included anti-burn steam and hot water wands are multidirectional so they can accommodate just about any cup or mug size, and operated by responsive and tactile knobs with spring closure. External pressure gauges for steam, the pump, and group head and also included.

The Lelit V3 is a great upgrade. I have had a Livia 90 for the past 22 years. It was time for an upgrade even though the Livia was still working great. The Lelit V3 was a great move. It heats up quick, the dual boilers mean no waiting between pulling a shot and steaming milk. I’m relearning how to steam milk for Latte Art as the Lelit V3 has much more stRead more about review stating A major upgradeeam “power” than the Livia did!

I previously owned (for over 20 years) an Expobar Brewtus II, which recently broke down and is not worth repairing.
I purchased the Lelit V3 (without flow control) to replace my Expobar. HFC delivered the Lelit within 2 days, and it arrived in perfect condition. It took a couple weeks to familiarize myself with how the machine worksRead more about review stating Lelit V3 recommendation, and by trial and error, I can now froth milk perfectly with the Lelit V3 . It makes superior lattes and pulls sweet espresso shots. They taste just as good (or better) as those you get in high end cafes. I can definitively say that the lattes I made with the Lelit V3 is far better than any I have ever made with my previous Expobar. I absolutely love my Lelit V3 and look forward every morning to enjoying excellent, thoroughly delicious lattes. I highly, unreservedly recommend the Lelit V3 .

Really enjoying this machine so far. Love the rotary pump consistency and quietness. The steam is incredible and the cool touch wand keeps the milk from burning on. The flow control paddle is really easy to control, you just have to let a little pressure build before you cut it back.

Thanks to HarfanCoffee for shipping the Lelit so quickly. I ordered it on Wednesday and had it by Friday. The machine is amazing and a substantial improvement over my old Silvia.
