Profitec Pro 700 vs Lelit Bianca

First, let’s make this very clear: both are great machines and you’ll be just right with either of them. YOU should probably get the machine that is cheaper, that is available with warranty, that feels best for you. Most users will NOT need the flow control knob and will only mess their coffee and waste shots, get frustrated very fast and forget about the knob altogether for the forseeable future. However, you’re probably not most users, right? Thus, let’s go over some differences.

The main difference between the flow control on the Bianca and the Profitec Pro 700 is that the Bianca’s paddle cannot completely shut off the flow, while the Profitec Pro 700’s flow control attachment can.

Next, we have a difference in boiler size and initial warm-up time. Lelit Bianca is superior in that regard. The Profitec 700 takes around 45 minutes to get to stable temperature without internvention, while Bianca users report between 20-30 minutes due to how it was designed and engineered.

Here’s a summary of itsXris points:

• The Elite Bianca V3 and Profitec Pro 700 are both dual boiler, PID-enabled, flow-controllable espresso machines.
• The Bianca comes with a flow control paddle, while the Pro 700 requires an optional add-on for flow control.
• Both machines are rotary pump machines, which are quieter than vibratory pumps.
• The Profitec has a nicer build quality, with thicker, smoother panels and cleaner cut edges.
