Machine Overview

The Lelit Bianca V3 is a semi-automatic espresso machine priced at $3199.95, designed for advanced users. In contrast, the Xenia Espresso Dual Boiler is aimed at intermediate skill levels and has a more affordable MSRP of $2500. Both machines are made by reputable brands, with Lelit being recognized for high-performance equipment and Xenia focusing on user-friendly designs.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Bianca V3 features a lever activation system, utilizes a dual boiler with a brew boiler capacity of 0.8 liters, and has a heat-up time of 15-30 minutes. The Xenia Espresso Dual Boiler, on the other hand, operates with button activation and offers a smaller brew boiler capacity of 0.3 liters while heating up more quickly, taking only 5-15 minutes. Both machines use stainless steel boiler materials and have chrome-plated brass brew groups, but they differ in pump type; the Lelit has a rotary pump while Xenia employs a vibration pump.

Features Comparison

Key features of the Lelit Bianca V3 include auto shutoff, concurrent brew and steam capabilities, flow control, and PID degree control, making it quite versatile. In contrast, the Xenia Espresso Dual Boiler lacks an auto shutoff feature and flow control, but it still provides robust capabilities such as pre-infusion and a shot timer. Both machines come equipped with essential gauges and steam wands but differ in the design of their no-burn wand, which is present in the Lelit but not in the Xenia model.
