Lab notes
Bianca V3 is the heirloom dual-boiler we put on the podium for extraction control. The paddle rewards patience; steam stays ready while you pull; build quality feels like it will outlast the counter.
It is not a beginner machine. Budget, footprint, and learning curve are real—but for advanced home bars, the lab scores hold.
