Could someone help me out with the Bianca dimensions as I don’t think the ones in BB can be right. What’s the depth with and without the reservoir on the rear, and with the reservoir on the rear, does the power socket come out below? I’m wondering on the total depth from wall. I’m tempted with the white Bianca but trying to work out how much more space vs the Minima it will take up with the reservoir on rear or side. Thanks all

@"Cuprajake"#p61672 cheers for trying

From wall to front of machine , right angled connector , tank at side, 430mm. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/9WZPwAR.jpeg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/9WZPwAR.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=https://i.imgur.com/kxeC8nU.jpeg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/kxeC8nU.jpeg[/IMG][/URL]

Bianca dimensions

Cuprajake

There’s dimensions on here, I’ve measured for a few people

Cheers. Sadly with the long threads we all tend to create here finding a specific post with search isn’t easy.
I’ll keep looking.

Cuprajake

I know, I tried to search but can’t find.

I think it’s 40cm without reservoir but then power cable sticks out a bit.
Reservoir is 8cm but then power cable is under it so doesn’t add 10cm on to depth from wall?
BB however says 58cm + 8cm reservoir

simonc - I spent 1 minute and googled “Bianca dimensions”. I then went through the results, until finding something credible, like “lelit.com” - it was the third from the top:

https://www.lelit.com/product/bianca-pl162t/

Under technical features, right hand side, to quote:

“Dimensions LxDxH: 29×58.5×39 cm + 8 cm movable tank” (edit: now I read those values I don’t believe it myself! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌)

I’m hopping someone who owns a Bianca or has owned one can clarify your query about the power socket/cable. If it has a “kettle lead”, then you can buy one which is angled cowards the left or right, if it helps you sitting the machine better against the wall. I did exactly that with my Elizabeth.

Looking at images here, looks like the power outlet is at the rear just below the tank mount.

Edit 2: some cross checking with a drawing….

Looks like it is, without the tank: 40cm deep, 29cm wide and 40cm tall. So the tank would add approx. 8cm depending where it’s attached to.

Cross checking with coffee Italia info: https://www.coffeeitalia.co.uk/lelit-bianca-pl162t/

Looks like Lelit did a “fat finger typo” and laid out the information rather inconveniently. They keyed in 58.5 instead of 48.5m which would be the depth of the machine including the tank. It would’ve been better if they had typed “Dimensions LxHxD: 29×39×58.5cm incl. 8 cm movable tank”

Yes I’ve seen this and the fact Lelit and BB give different dimensions and that there are many other sites with conflicting dimensions that I wanted to validate with a friendly person here and not a random sales site.
Lelit can’t have been a typo to make the 40 without be 48.5 with reservoir as then says + 8cm.

Yes I use a right angled power lead with my minima which def helps.

I’ve spent 30 mins googling and searching here and HB and the 40cm seems the most authoritative but the fact it’s so different to Lelit and BB has me concerned.

If someone with one, pref with a right angled lead could run a quick tape measure that would be amazing.

I agree the 48.5cm inc reservoir makes most sense.
I’m assuming it’s 48.5cm from wall with reservoir on back and cable under it, and then maybe 42 if it’s on the side as 40+maybe 2cm for power lead.

From wall to front of machine , right angled connector , tank at side, 430mm.

simonc

Cheers. That’s really helpful.

simonc

For the record Bella Barista put a tape measure to their machine in the show room and it’s 40cm without the reservoir with a couple extra cm for the cable.
With the reservoir at the rear it’s 49cm from to back. Seems very little in it vs the Minima.
The price BB now have for the white one is very tempting.

Cuprajake

@simonc but was it tempting enough….

simonc

Cuprajake just discussing with my finance department and explaining how much I’ll get for the minima and my Niche zero to contribute so it’s not really that much money.
