The Lelit Bianca 40th is the limited-edition collector's espresso machine celebrating 40 years of Lelit — 1986 numbered pieces only, each engraved with a unique serial number beneath an exclusive illustration by an Italian female artist commissioned for the anniversary.

Underneath the unique finish sits the full Bianca V3 spec: L58E commercial group head, manual paddle flow control, full dual boiler system, and the integrated Lelit Control Centre (LCC) for managing every brew variable. This edition adds zebrano wood portafilters, tamper, and control knobs, plus IMS Competition baskets with Nanoquartz coating.

Each Lelit Bianca 40th comes with a complimentary gift: three 250g bags of Kiss the Hippo specialty espresso coffee (George Street Blend, Donna, and Fruitopia), curated to help you explore your machine's full flavour range.

Eva G. ★★★★★

The flow control paddle feels buttery smooth compared to my old machine, and the numbered edition makes every shot feel like a small ceremony. It's a serious upgrade for dialing in pressure mid-pull, and the build quality is exactly what you'd hope for at this price.

Zoe E. ★★★★★

The engraved serial number on the underside feels like a genuine piece of history, not just a sticker. Steam pressure is so responsive that I dialed in my milk texture in half the time it used to take me. This one's staying on the counter for good.

Claire X. ★★★★★

The pressure profiling on this machine is a joy to dial in—I’ve pulled shots with more clarity than my local café. The numbered plate under the drip tray is a nice touch, but honestly, the flow control paddle is what sold me.
