The Lelit Bianca V.3 Espresso Machine (PL162T) is a premium Italian-made dual boiler espresso machine designed for discerning home baristas seeking professional-level control and performance. Featuring an E61 grouphead with a manual flow control paddle, the Bianca V3 allows users to fine-tune water flow during extraction, enabling precise pressure profiling to suit various coffee beans and personal taste preferences. Its elegant design, complemented by walnut wood accents and a polished stainless steel body, makes it a standout addition to any coffee setup.
Features: Equipped with two stainless steel boilers—an 800 ml brew boiler and a 1.5-liter steam boiler—the Bianca V3 ensures optimal thermal stability and the ability to brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously. The Lelit Control Center (LCC) offers advanced features such as programmable pre-infusion, adjustable brew and steam temperatures, and multiple energy-saving modes, including standby, eco-mode, and sleep mode. The machine also includes a built-in shot timer, dual pressure gauges for monitoring brew and steam pressures, and a movable 2.5-liter water tank that can be positioned on either side or the back for flexible placement.
Specifications: For maintenance, daily cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel body with a soft, damp cloth and purging the steam wand after each use. Weekly cleaning includes backflushing the grouphead with a blind filter and appropriate detergent. To prevent limescale buildup, it's recommended to use the included water softener filter and perform descaling as needed, depending on water hardness and usage frequency. The Bianca V3 measures approximately 29 cm (width) x 39 cm (height) x 48.5 cm (depth) and weighs around 26.5 kg, making it a substantial yet manageable machine for serious home espresso enthusiasts.
