Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Rancilio Silvia PID, is priced at $1,195 and is targeted towards beginner users. In contrast, Machine 2, the Lelit Bianca V3, is significantly more expensive at $3,199.95 and is designed for advanced users. Both machines are classified as semi-automatic, indicating that they require user intervention during brewing.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Rancilio Silvia PID activates via a rocker switch and features a single boiler with a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. It has a brew boiler capacity of 0.3 liters and uses a vibration pump for brewing. On the other hand, the Lelit Bianca V3 utilizes a lever for activation and includes a dual boiler setup that takes 15-30 minutes to heat up. Its brew boiler capacity is 0.8 liters, and it operates with a rotary pump.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, the Rancilio Silvia PID lacks a boiler pressure gauge, auto shutoff, and dual PID control, but does include a steam wand and hot water options. The Lelit Bianca V3 offers more advanced features such as simultaneous brewing and steaming, a steam pressure gauge, and pre-infusion functionality. It also includes a dual PID control for precise temperature management, making it more suitable for experienced baristas. Both machines have a solenoid valve and hot water capability.
