"Budget end game" machine right there. What more could you ask for. There are better ones, ofc, but at a much higher price tag (diminishing returns, so not worht it really imo). Not a fan of Niche, nor Fellow grinders, but that part is easily changed if needed. Nice setup mate, enjoy your cups.
Stumbled upon your video, I couldn't but notice that despite your paddle being all the way to the left, pressure rose quite quickly-on my Bianca, keeping the paddle there takes up to 25s to see beading. Perhaps it's intentional but if it isn't, you might want to adjust the paddle to have 0ml/s when fully closed to about 6ml/s when fully opened. It seems that your current setup doesn't completely stop flow when in the closed position. Cheers!
Nice setup. We own same Lelit Bianca v3 machine. I wish I waited half a year more, so that I would get the white coated one. Cause I believe that coating helps avoid fingerprints. We have same tamper also. I use a pullman basket (17-19 grams) and Lelits double spout. I am considering the Weber Unifiliter , but I am afraid that the Chrome of the Lelit Bianca can get very dirty. I am sure that at some point, I will purchase and try it. As for the grinder, I own the Ceado E6p. Nice grinder. 64 mm flat burrs for espresso. At some point in the future, I will look for single dose solution. I like the Kafatek flat max, but at this price, I can’t even think of it. The Mazzer Philos is a nice option too. The Weber Key MKii, is conical burrs but can brew some interesting espresso. What do you think as for single dose grinders ? And I would also like to ask you which puck screen are you using
His pump pressure is actually set to 9 bar as can be seen on the bottom right. The brew group pressure hit 10. Likely because his grind was too fine it was resisting the flow hence why it was 35secs. He also could've chosen to manually control this by not fully opening the flow control paddle. Another thing that can be done is allow the puck to bloom a little on about 3 to 4 bar by suppressing the flow. Then the flow will have less resistance from the puck when going to full flow rate. Having said all that I prefer 9 bar at the pump on this machine so auto profiling stays capped at this pressure when not using the paddle
I have been dying to get my hands on one of these machines.... soon! More importantly: What is that contraption you have to hold filters, the scale, the spray bottle, etc. I am always struggling to organize my many coffee gadgets!
Literally just had my Lelit bianca delivered. This video will come in very useful as I am completely new to the world of espresso machines, so thank you. Quick question. Where did you purchase your tamping station from please? Thanks
Thanks for the video loved your content mate…been using lelit bianca for about 4 months and im opening a small mini-like cafe locally and im trying to use this machine for the cafe would you recommend it or is this machine not good for commercial use
Hi Mate. thanks for the video. I just got a lelit bianca using a 21G Pullman basket, brew boiler set to 94C - I'm finding that with the flow rate fully open im sitting at around 10 bar pressure. Do you find thats where you sit in a majority of your extractions? Cheers
It’s a dosing tray made by loveramics - I got mine from tens hundreds thousands but I don’t think they sell them anymore. It’s based on a product traditionaly used in tea making called a Cha He. A Cha He can be found relatively cheaply online and they work great for measuring coffee beans and are much cheaper than this loveramics one. Hope this helps.
I've owned a Niche for a couple years. Never once have I ever felt compelled to purchase a bellows. I don't RDT either. The only knocking I occasionally do is tap the lid a bit. I get the exact same weight out every time that I put in. Zero retention. Adding a bellows eliminates the biggest advantage that the Niche has over other single dose grinders. If you feel the need to use one then you might as well have saved your money and bought a DF64 instead.

looks great! you can adjust your max pump pressure on the bottom of the machine - looks like it’s at 10 bar
His pump pressure is actually set to 9 bar as can be seen on the bottom right. The brew group pressure hit 10. Likely because his grind was too fine it was resisting the flow hence why it was 35secs.

Its from a guy on etsy who makes filter organisers. They are 3D printed pretty cool but quite restrictive if you ever get a new brewer.
hi very nice setup bro
Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Literally just had my Lelit bianca delivered. This video will come in very useful as I am completely new to the world of espresso machines, so thank you.
Quick question. Where did you purchase your tamping station from please? Thanks
Hello, hope you are enjoying your Bianca. Its from Saint Anthony Industries.
Nice video :)
Do you use the 14-18g basket or the 18-21g ? :)
Nice video
Can you please the filter basket you are using?
And which screen
Hey! Thanks for watching. It is a Pullman Basket and IMS Screen
What did you put on your fellow atmos that allows you to write on it? Tape?
they are called whiteboard stickers :)
Hey dude can you link ur coffee equipment bro
Thanks for the video loved your content mate…been using lelit bianca for about 4 months and im opening a small mini-like cafe locally and im trying to use this machine for the cafe would you recommend it or is this machine not good for commercial use
I think it would be great for a small operation, they are really good little workhorses. Especially if you've got it plumbed in!

Hey! Yes my pump is set to 9 BARS but often reads at 10bar on the manometer on the front.
@jasonmakescoffee thanks for the response! Loving the content 😃
i've seen your ad of facebook marketplace hhaha
What is the ceramic plate called? the one you used to weigh your beans!

@@itsjasondavies thank you so much :) nice setup by the way, been saving up for this machine can’t wait to have my own.
@@aaronbaldovino7797 thank you I’m sure you’ll love yours when you get it!
great way to make a coffee!
Where from you bye stand for portafilter,tamper and distributor?Tnx👍
What coffee cart are you using?
Its an IKEA Kallax unit with a solid oak top. The kallax unit has been reinforced and raised onto a platform to increase the height.
@@itsjasondavies looks great I really like it! What did you reinforce with?
Get a bellow. Dont knock niche. Well you can it’s yours but get a bellow. You have every option known to man on that table except a bellow.
I have the niche and a bellow, knocking it is absolutely necessary even after bellowing for the amount of coffee left in the machine

Nice vid, please speak more clearly next time. Couldn’t understand 80% of what you are saying…
