All the damn time. I keep getting mad at myself for not buying a bianca when it was 20% off but $2400 is still a crazy amount of money to spend on a espresso machine for me. Sticking to my Barista Pro until I move up 2 or 3 tax brackets.

I love my Bianca, even though it’s version 1.

We’re currently on holiday in some fancy beachfront villa and all we do is complain how we miss our Bianca. This hobby is a curse.

No – I have a lever 😉

I will stick to my breville

Do I want it, of course. Did I just buy my first machine, also yes. Did I buy a 17 year old lelit Anna?, of course I did

Every day. I had to get rid of mine because I moved countries, and now I just have an Aeropress with a hand grinder (still love them btw)
Hotsaucehallelujah
Just got back from a week vacation and I REALLY wished I would of brought my machine. I really missed it
Dr_D-R-E
Absolutely, that’s a beautiful beautiful machine. I felt that way for a long time until I was able to get my end game setup

I’ve only ever owned a flair 58 and I’m happy with it. Haven’t had the desire to branch out yet.

I love mine. After tons of research I decided to splurge after selling my old house and setting up a new coffee area and very happy with it over the last two years

I used to for an year or so… ended up going for the ECM Synchronika and never ever thought about the Bianca

30 minutes heat up time? Nah, thanks

I can only dream. Luckily for me they don’t even sell it in my country so there’s less of a temptatio
KeesKachel88
Yes. But i bit the bullet and went for the Profitec Drive!
PLxFTW
I was planning and researching for a while and then that huge discount came up and I had to buy one. I love it paired with my Timemore 078s. Definitely feels like I won’t be buying another machine potentially every again.

I feel this way when I’m on vacation and my Lelit Bianca is at home 🙁

Bought one on sale. 2000$ instead of 3000 because it was V2 and V3 just came out. They sent me V3 anyway. Best gift one can buy themselves
DroperidolFairy
Just got a Profitec Go after my Simonelli crapped out so nah.

Love my bianca but I’m still thinking about selling it and getting a profitec pro 800

No I don’t want to clean all that chrome

Well, not really. But my sub flair might say why.

V3 owner checking in. Machine works great and I haven’t even tried to fiddle with the preinfusion settings yet.

Once, but I got better. /s
Call me boring but honestly these do nothing for me. I understand the fascination with all the knobs and levers but these are far more finicky than I ever want to deal with and last of all I really don’t want to wait should I decide I need a drink now.
Plus I could never survive with any chrome backed version at all. That is low end appliance type treatment, the stuff of toasters and blenders. I have seen a few that minimize that aspect and I can appreciate that.
(seriously not trying to ruffle any feathers)

This machine is totally worth splurging money on. It’s got many details and features that aren’t necessary but are so nice to have. The last shot warning where you wont be able to start a shot if the water level is too low, the programmable low flow, the beautiful dual spouted portafilter, the space for an extra basket under the drip tray, the easily adjustable OPV etc.

No because I have one! I get up in the morning & she’s waiting for me all warmed up & ready to pull
