Machine Overview

The Lelit Bianca V3 is a semi-automatic espresso machine priced at $3199.95 and is targeted at advanced users, while the Odyssey Argos is a manual machine available for $850 and intended for intermediate skill levels. The significant price difference reflects the varied target audience and potential capabilities of each machine. Both machines are made of stainless steel, indicating robust construction.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Bianca V3 uses a dual boiler system with a heating up time of 15-30 minutes, while the Odyssey Argos features a single boiler and heats up in less than 5 minutes. Both machines employ a lever activation system, but the Bianca V3 utilizes an E61 group type, whereas the Argos has a sprung lever group type. The brew boiler capacity of the Bianca is 0.8 liters compared to the Argos's 0.6 liters, offering slightly larger brewing capabilities in the Lelit.

Features Comparison

When looking at features, the Lelit Bianca V3 includes advanced options such as concurrent brew steam, dual PID control, and a steam wand, while also having gauges for boiler and steam pressure. The Odyssey Argos has some similar features, including PID control and a shot timer, but lacks steam pressure gauges and gauges for concurrent brewing. Additionally, the Argos incorporates smart connectivity, which is absent in the Bianca V3, making it more versatile in terms of modern integration.
