The Lelit Bianca V3! - Full Review (+V2 Comparison)

Күн бұрын

This is the new Lelit Bianca V3 - a dual boiler, PID-enabled, flow-controllable espresso machine that costs $3,200 at the time of recording. Today I’m going to give you my thoughts on this machine, how it compares to the V2, and if it may be the right machine for you.

Love my Bianca and I am so glad I didn’t wait for the V3 to make it to the US. Prices dropped before that and I paid over $700 less. I think the call on endgame is right. It’s hard to imagine ever needing anything else in a non-commercial environment. Performance is exceptional and the whole experience feels like glorious overkill, which is a luxury to wake up to every morning.

@@gosman949 What does the latest get me? Programming that I won't use and a faster warmup time that is irrelevant with a smart plug? No thanks. I waited to see the V3 update before buying but nothing gave me any value. That said, the V3 is a better machine at the same price. They made an incredible machine ever so slightly better.

@randomvideosonline1 Жыл бұрын

Coming from a cheaper single boiler machine that heats up really fast I’m thinking the faster startup times and the sleep mode will be a big factor in me not getting frustrated with this machine. I can do the auto plug thing for the morning but I irregularly have a shot in the afternoon (work from home) to me this it think might be the biggest sleeper feature. And why my pay the premium over v1-2 models and also win out over the rotatory Rocket I’m considering….thoughts?

@lessmith3755 2 жыл бұрын

apropos of the offset setting. It has recently occurred to me that there is no value for I that doesn't do more harm than good.There will always be an offset between the temperature probe ant the water temperature at the puck, and simply applying that known offset will be better. The integral loop in a PID algorithm looks at the average error between your set point and the temperature measurement, and applies a compensating control input to eventually null it out. But you never actually care about an offset between the set point and the temperature sensor since you're already taking the offset to the brew temperature into account when you choose the set point. All the I loop will do is delay your arrival at the target brew temperature.

I'm considering upgrading from a shitty 300€ coffee maschine to an espresso machine. My research somehow always ended up with the Lelit Bianca. Is it a too big leap and I should go for an "intermediat" cheaper maschine? I can get my hands on a used, very new V2 for a very resonable price tag. thx 🙂

@jasonmather3382 2 жыл бұрын

If you were to entertain 7 to 10 people can a machine like the bianca or pro 700 do back to back shots while maintaining brew temp? I saw Kyle Rowsell’s video where he said he has to wait up to 3 min after doing 2 shots for the brew boiler temp to recover

@itsxris 2 жыл бұрын

I would argue you can certainly pull them back to back given your guests aren't too picky! If you have a shot dialed in with temperature in mind then I would suggest the wait period (and if your guests are particularly nitpicky about their coffee)

@jasonmather3382 2 жыл бұрын

Xris thanks for that, I may go with a Rocket Giotto R or ECM Technika rather because I want that back to back ability for just in case reasons, perhaps the Giotto for the faster steam power from the copper boiler, thank you for replying and can’t wait for the Bianca v 700 vid

You can upgrade to the V2 by replacing the LCC for about $100. There are some hardware changes but the V2 LCC software will mostly have you set and most of the changes are cosmetic. I can't find an upgrade from V2 to V3. From what I understand it's a LCC and solenoid change but I don't see anything online

The start up time ready in 12 minutes is totally misleading. It takes at least 40 minutes to stabilise the grouphead measured with probes. Making coffee before the grouphead is fully warm makes bad espressos. The abrupt change in pressure during the automatic flow control disrupts the flow and cause channelling issues. If the aim of having the extra features are for better coffee, these mistakes would have ruined the espresso. The biggest attribute to how the coffee will turn out is the control in the grinder which affects the flow rate and the taste. Much more than these flimsy bell and whistles that could cause a dent to the machine's longevity. What the other technician said is right, lelit are not as well built. They going the China companies direction of adding many unnecessary features which affects it's longevity. The parts and placement of the key components are also not very intelligent. I start to wonder is this engineered or co produced in China as the engineering approach looks very similar to the China espresso machines.
