Lelit Bianca (V3): your first espresso shot
Start with 18 g of coffee in and 36 g in the cup (1:2) for a medium roast. The grind number depends on your grinder: find yours below, then taste and adjust.
The recipe
- Dose: 18 g (the 18 to 21 g double basket is included).
- Stop at: 36 g in the cup (1:2) for a medium roast, 45 g for a light roast. Lever and paddle: stop by weight.
- Temperature: Temperature: 93 °C. Coffee boiler 80 to 115 °C (factory 95 °C; the screen shows the boiler, not the group).
- Pre-infusion: Use the paddle: a low-flow start lets you saturate the puck before full pressure.
Where to start on your grinder
Starting settings in each grinder's own numbers. They are starting points from the makers' published ranges, not a guarantee: taste decides. Tap a setting for the full recipe with your roast and the next-shot fix, or a grinder for its light and dark starting points.
