I have been using my new Bianca v3 for a couple of months now and have nothing but praise for this machine. I upgraded from a Breville barista pro. The Breville was no slouch and was capable of a tasty espresso, but the Bianca is an improvement in every way. It’s quieter, built significantly better, the steam power feels like a cheat code, and the consistency of my drinks is greatly improved. The Cody S. · chriscoffee.com

I can't say enough positive things about this machine. It took me days just to get off the cappuccinos and to the other drinks I enjoy and it nails every single one. It just nails them all. It took some time with the initial setup with the Bean Adept feature to make sure it adjusts to your preferences, but this maker just nails it. Add a little syrup if you like and it'll taste like your drinks ju BCole · williams-sonoma.com
