Lelit Bianca V3

Thats a very good feature to add, wonder if rrp will be effected.

RobertRo101 update the Bianca review on your website or post a video about some testing with the new future? Are there any more updates we can expect?

The Bianca Review is a version 1, so quite old now. I may well update it…essentially the machine is unchanged except for the addition of the new features. I may have a few extra features the production version doesn’t have, and my solenoid is slightly different (they are sending me a replacement, if I get any problems with mine)… I was originally sent it to try it and see if there were any problems…which there were not…it wall worked very well.

I don’t think I have a manual, but I will download the production manual as my version a year ago has something else I won’t mention, until I find out if it was in the production version. I suspect my software might not be exactly the same version, but again until you guys by one and if the software version is on the back of the LCC I won’t know…plus mine could still have been a reflashed LCC.

I have to be very careful when commenting on pre production stuff so early in the chain.

Really like the version 3 though, as compared to the version 1, lots of features were new….and I do need to update my version 1 to a version 2.

This is why, despite my recent challenges, I really love the Bianca (and Lelit). I have been toying with updating to LCC 2. I may hang fire and update to LCC v3 though, with my new found boldness for tinkering with the machine 😉

The Low flow used in conjunction with PI seems to be a good combination. Dave, have you been using just the low flow or do you always use the PI with it ?

Really great feature. It basically mirrors the profile I use 99% of the time so it’s handy to be able to automate it. It’s also really awesome to see Lelit iterating on what is already a fantastic machine.

It’s impressive how quickly the group head pressure changes when the low flow kicks in.

this is awesome. i’ll get an upgrade kit when its available.

Its a good option, not sure id rip my machine apart for it, but its a good out the box incentive to buy the v3 over a competitor

there will hopefully be some other upgrades that the new LCC bring that are worthwhile.

Good feature to add and if it was an update that could be flashed then I’d happily pay for it, but given that it requires hardware too then I’ll just use the paddle manually for now.

Maybe if / when my machine requires surgery I’ll look at installing this feature.

Sadly, flashing a current LCC would then make it look for the new hardware…and I would imagine when it doesn’t find it, it would get upset. So it’s not even feasible to get some upgraded features. Where of course it is an issue is in the future when you need an earlier version of the software, or get an LCC that a manufacturer has had for a while and use it in a later machine.

Hopefully Lelit are keeping good records, so they can tell what version of the software your machine has…unless you upgraded it of course..

You mean can it be made into a pressure profiling machine 😉

MediumRoastSteam seems to be at around 4 bar. Could you make it 6? In essence, can you adjust how far that solenoid opens?

No that’s not the way it works…the low flow rate is fixed….It does make a big difference though and was my go to. Next time you are round, I will recommission the machine and you can have a play.

@MediumRoastSteam

DavecUK - thanks.so how much the solenoid works is fixed? Presumably you can’t adjust through an adjustment screw or something? I.e.: say I want to open the solenoid 75% rather than 50%?
