LELIT Bianca PL162T-EU semi-professional espresso machine

An updated Lelit Bianca PL162T
The manual espresso machine Lelit Bianca PL162T-EU is part of Lelit’s “PRO LINE” range, designed for the experienced barista.
It retains all the basics of the previous version with its beautiful stainless-steel body and dual boiler in inox, its wood finishes and the L58E group paired with a heat exchanger.
The L58E extraction group from Lelit is based on the famous E61 group. Some internal parts have been redesigned by Lelit and assembled differently for better performance. This name change (L58E) ensures that customers do not make modifications or repairs with standard E61 spare parts on their Lelit machines, which might not work or could damage the L58E group.
The new version of the Lelit Bianca gives you the ability to go even further in tuning your extractions, thanks to the new options available in the Lelit Control Center.
This manual espresso machine also lets you make Latte Art thanks to its “Cool Touch” semi-professional steam wand in stainless steel.
Its 58 mm brass extraction group places it among the semi-professional espresso machines, as it must be paired with a suitable espresso grinder to achieve good results in the cup.
All LELIT espresso machines are made in Italy with materials sourced from Italy or Europe. Every LELIT espresso machine (regardless of range: evolutive or semi-pro) is also tested twice on the production line before being carefully boxed.

Even finer adjustments for the perfect espresso
The Lelit Bianca PL162T-EU is equipped with the paddle that lets you take control of extraction pressure in real time.
With the paddle, you can manually control the pressure of the water injected into the puck and master every stage of your extraction.
With this new version, you can now go even further!
Lelit’s electronic system (the LCC) allows you to program an automatic pressure profile. Between pre-infusion, pause, low-flow start (Low Flow Start) and low-flow finish (Low Flow Final), you can set an extraction profile that switches over time between 4 bars, zero, 4, 9 and 4 bars again during your espresso shot: an action that can be repeated every time, for a perfect and consistent espresso.

Functions of the Lelit Control Center (LCC) on the Lelit Bianca PL162T-EU
This option does not give the same control as using the paddle, but it does it automatically, the same way every time. Once you have found and saved the profile that suits you, you can reproduce it every time.With the new LCC system, you can:
- Manage the temperature of the extracted coffee.
- Manage the temperature of the dispensed steam.
- Activation/deactivation of the steam boiler.
- Selection of the temperature measurement unit.
- Programmable pre-infusion times.
- Programmable low flow times.
- Activation/deactivation of standby mode.
- Partial and total dose counter.
- Timer for extraction time
The machine automatically goes into standby after 30 minutes of inactivity
ThefunctionBrew Temp off set : To be able to increase or decrease the temperature of the coffee boiler during extraction, by modifying the temperature of the water coming out of the group.

Other features of the Lelit Bianca PL162T-EU

The Backflush function for deep maintenance
With its 3-way solenoid valve, the Lelit Bianca PL162T-EU lets you perform aBackflush (deep cleaning) to clean your machine, using the blind filter and a specialised detergent.
Note:For machines connected to the water mains, it is strongly recommended to use a water softening and filtration kit (as for a professional espresso machine). This kit is essential to ensure the water is safe for your machine and will give your espresso better taste. If water is not filtered, you risk damaging your machine in the long term and having the warranty cancelled by the brand for lack of maintenance.

What we think:
- The new “Low Flow” option
- The paddle for manual pressure
- The precision and numerous settings
- The finish of this beautiful machine
- The L58E remote group
- All the supplied accessories
- The Lelit Bianca PL162T-EU absolutely must be paired with a dedicated espresso grinder. It is a machine that requires real skill and excellent knowledge of the art of extracting a good espresso.
With the L58E group, a more developed Lelit Control Center than the previous version, the pressure-control paddle, stainless steel boilers paired with the rotary pump, this Lelit Bianca PL162T-EU is the ideal combination of Italian know-how and a modern electronic system.
Like all semi-professional espresso machines, the Bianca needs a little training, a little patience and some trial and error, but the result in the cup is worth the effort!
