Verified buyers only, straight from the store's review app.
One of 1,986, and the number is punched into the steel
Lelit is making 1,986 of these worldwide and no more. Each carries an exclusive illustration by an Italian artist across its polished AISI 304 body, with its own serial number, from 0001 to 1986, micro-punched into the steel beneath the artwork.

Underneath the artwork, it is every inch a Bianca
Lelit changed nothing that matters. The patented paddle still sits above the L58E group with its own pressure gauge, the 0.8 L coffee and 1.5 L steam boilers still run independently, and the LCC with its OLED display still holds every setting a barista actually touches.
- Paddle flow control with the L58E group manometer beside it
- Dual stainless steel boilers, coffee and steam together
- Low Flow and pre-infusion, switchable on the LCC
- Adjustable coffee and steam temperature, Celsius or Fahrenheit
- Steam boiler off for espresso-only days
- Stand-by that holds the coffee boiler at 70 °C
- Water tank on any of three sides, or plumbed with direct discharge
- Pump calibration via an external adjustment screw
Zebrano wood, polished steel, and a box that is already complete
The standard Bianca ships walnut or maple. The 40th ships Zebrano, a striped African hardwood, on the paddle, knobs, lever, feet, both portafilter handles and the tamper, against a fully polished AISI 304 stainless body, tank, tray and grate.
Sixteen pieces, Zebrano handles included

Complete the setup
Chosen for the Bianca specifically. The box already holds two portafilters, four baskets and a tamper, so the grinder is the only purchase that changes what ends up in the cup.
64 mm flat burrs, stepless adjustment, grind on demand. Lelit's own grinder for the LELIT58 system, and the one that lets the paddle do its work.
The espresso scale that fits the drip tray, so paddle profiles are timed and weighed, not guessed.
Even puck prep before the bottomless Zebrano portafilter shows you everything.
