Limited edition Bianca V3
Lelit has made updates beginning of 2022 to the high end Bianca model. In the version 3, users can expect quicker warm-up times, an electronic low flow mode that simulates profiles without manually moving the paddle, and four new power modes: always on, sleep mode, eco-mode, and stand-by mode.
Benefits of the Bianca Version 3
A long and constant pre-infusion
Bianca does not feature the mechanical pre-infusion present in the traditional E61 group. This is achieved thanks to the use of the LCC and of the paddle, programming the times “pump on” et “pump off” obtaining this way a constant pre-infusion, for a much longer time.
Set the maximum pump pressure
To extract the best out of every coffee blend or roasting, every barista can decide to modify the setting of the pump (till maximum 12 bars) acting on the regulation screw. The pressure variation influences both the preinfusion and the paddle behaviour!
An extraction never seen before
The portafilter has a 58mm diameter, a wooden handle and a Coffee Slide , i.e. the spout that gently accompanies the coffee into the cup and actively helps the cream creation of the espresso. Progressive inclination, spout size and open surfaces are masterfully calibrated to get the best possible result.
Handles and paddle made of the finest wood
All the details in Bianca, such as the knobs, the portafilter handle and the paddle are made of the finest walnut wood to give a pleasant tactile sensation and a high-quality aesthetical result.
Paddle
Rotating it, you gradually vary the water flow inside the group until the highest pressure is reached. This way you can manually control every single phase of the coffee extraction to obtain the best possible result in the cup with every type of coffee blend.
LCC
It allows to control all the machine parameters, such as the temperature regulation for the coffee extraction and steam delivery, the pre-infusion times, the stand-by times, the possibility of enabling or disabling the steam boiler, the partial and total doses counter and the possibility of visualizing the temperature in °C or °F.
DUAL BOILER
Two separate boilers, one for steam and hot water delivery and one for the coffee extraction. A system studied to grant a higher temperature stability and to allow the simultaneous delivery of coffee and steam.
SPECS
Repositionable water tank with automatic coupling
Bianca’s 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.
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.
Steam and hot water wands with cool touch technology
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
Bianca’s 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 70° C 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.
