Lelit Bianca max flow rate

denopa

I am surprised by how slowly pressure ramps up with the paddle fully right on my new v3, compared with some videos I’ve see (incl. DaveC’s). I have calibrated the paddle so the flow stops just before the full-left position, and left the pump at 10 bars. I’ve measured the 30s flow rate without a basket and I get 200ml. Is that standard and if not is there a way to adjust it ?

That sounds about right. Do you have low flow start enabled?

Not enabled (and no preinfusion either, I’m having way too much fun with the paddle)

denopa in my experience this varies a lot with where you have your max pump pressure set to. Assuming your max is around 8-9 bar, youre probably totally fine with 200 odd

I have adjusted my max pressure down to just under 7 bar lately and this reduces it further. Unsure if this is going to cause issues (with 200-250 odd supposedly being optimal), but most of what I have read suggests larger issues from having too high a flow. Not so much when it is lower

Curious if @DavecUK has best practice recommendations here, as I am in a bit of a no man’s land at the moment with my paddle set point

I do intend to do a video on how I set up my V3, and how to set up a new machine as I do it with the Black V3 I have. The reviews of the Bianca are fairly useless for anything to do with actually setting it up and using it. Just so little time at the moment.
