Lelit Bianca V3 PL162T Coffee Machine

Lelit Bianca V3 PL162T Coffee Machine

One of the most celebrated prosumer espresso machines in the world — dual boilers, a walnut flow-control paddle and dual PID, putting full command of the extraction in your hands.

The Lelit Bianca V3 (PL162T) is the machine serious home baristas save up for. Built around dual stainless steel boilers (one brew, one steam), a silent rotary pump, and the legendary L58E group head with an integrated walnut-wood flow-control paddle, the Bianca V3 gives you full command of the extraction process.

The V3 generation brings faster heat-up, electronic Low Flow mode (programmable pre-infusion via the LCC OLED display), four energy-management modes, longer steam/hot-water wands and refined software. Where every other Lelit machine manages temperature, the Bianca goes further — giving you manual control over the flow and pressure of water through the puck during extraction. That’s pressure profiling: the ability to create, adjust and repeat custom extraction curves once reserved for commercial machines costing three times as much.

Features:

Manual Flow Control Paddle
Walnut-wood paddle on the L58E group for real-time pressure profiling — shape every shot by hand.

Dual Stainless Steel Boilers
Independent brew and steam boilers let you brew and steam simultaneously, with no recovery time.

Dual PID Control
Independent temperature control for each boiler via the LCC OLED, accurate to ±0.5°C.

Electronic Low Flow Mode
Programmable pre-infusion and automated flow-reduction phases — a V3 feature for repeatable shots.

Dual Manometers
Live pump-pressure and boiler-pressure feedback so you can see exactly what’s happening during extraction.

Silent Rotary Pump
A commercial-grade rotary pump runs whisper-quiet — far quieter than a vibratory pump.
