I'm interested in what Forum members think of this machine. I know very little about Lelit's other products. It appears that the Bianca may be available in some markets now and in the U.S. perhaps in July. The price quoted by 1st Line is pretty competitive with other double boiler machines.

Great review Dave - reading it all as we speak.
Now come on though - you can't leave us like this....... we're lucky enough to have u on this forum and save us all £000's buying crap equipment..... but you've got to tell us:
If u could only buy one of them - and your goal was to get a machine that could get the best out of different beans/roasts through pressure/flow in-shot adjustments - which would it be?
One is so much cheaper than the other - and u tell us why and it's pretty clear to see why - but is in the cup that different.

Your review has got me really in to this machine Dave - id like to ask another couple of questions:
1. Out of interest - why did u set the main pump to 10bar max, just so u could over 9bar with the paddle occasionally?
2. How would the paddle operate if the machine was plumbed in? I run around 2.5bar with a prv - the paddle minimum would equal main pressure?

I ran a plumbed in mechanika for a while - it was a joy to behold, lovely to own and made great coffee.
Ultimately I wanted more consistency and control over brew temp that a HX could provide as i now mainly drink lighter roasts than 'dark'.
If I'd have known this from the start I'd have gone dual boiler straight away. And conversely if I was still drinking predominantly darker roasts that are less sensitive to brew temp I'd still have it
