EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Decent DE1 PRO and the Lelit Bianca V3 are both semi-automatic espresso machines catering to the advanced skill level of users. The DE1 PRO has a msrp of $3,599, while the Bianca V3 starts at $3,199.95, making the Bianca slightly more affordable. Both machines are structured for users who seek a deeper engagement in the brewing process.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the DE1 PRO features a custom PID-controlled group and a primary heating element of a custom design, with a heat-up time of less than 5 minutes. In contrast, the Lelit Bianca V3 employs a traditional E61 group and utilizes dual boilers for heating, taking between 15 to 30 minutes to heat up. Both machines have convertible water sources and offer a portafilter diameter of 58mm. Additionally, the Bianca’s steam boiler capacity is larger at 1.5 liters compared to the DE1 PRO's unspecified capacity.

Features Comparison

When looking at the features, both machines come with an auto shutoff, boiler and steam pressure gauges, PID control, pre-infusion, and shot timers. The DE1 PRO supports smart connectivity and has flow control but lacks a concurrent brew and steam function. Conversely, the Lelit Bianca V3 allows concurrent brewing and steaming, and includes an overpressure valve, but does not support smart connectivity. Both machines provide a top-of-the-line experience but differ in functionalities catering to specific user preferences.
