Bianca V3 Dual Boiler

Lelit · £2,155

A stainless steel dual-boiler espresso machine with a wooden paddle lever on the group head, shown from the front.

Worth being NRY

A dual boiler with a paddle on the group head, so you change water flow during the shot rather than just before it. An owner two months in calls the paddle easy and effective and then names its limit: once you are using it for flow, you cannot push pressure back up to 9 bar when the puck starts to give way. That is the trade at £2,155, and it is a hobby rather than a convenience.
