Bianco di Puro Piano

Hello July,

Thank you very much for your question.

You may let the container dry upside down, but you should first rub all metal parts on the bottom of the container dry with a towel.
This will prolong the life of your blade base.

Water cannot actually run into the engine block.

Hello Isabella,
thank you very much for your question.
We will no longer be able to offer the Piano in the foreseeable future.
However, please take a look at the Wartmann blender. It is very similar to the Piano, but has an even more intuitive operation (rotary wheel) and three time programs.

Hello Beatrice,

thank you very much for your message.

The Piano can process kale without any problems. We recommend cutting the kale beforehand so that the fibres do not wrap around the blade base.

Kind regards from Berlin,

Hello Annelie,
thank you very much for your question.

Bianco advises cleaning the container, lid and tamper manually. Simply pour warm water into the container and blend. After using greasy ingredients, you can add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the water.

The bottom of the container, that connects to the engine, should always be kept dry.

Have fun blending,

Hello Susanne,

thank you very much for your message.

You can also use the piano to make flaxseed meals, simply put the required amount in the blender and then grind to the desired fineness.

Nevertheless, the more often hard ingredients are processed in the container, the faster the plastic can become cloudy / blind.

Hello Sébastien,

thank you very much for your question.

Unfortunately, there currently still are no glass containers for high-speed blenders.

Dear Raffaela,
Thank you for your feedback :)

You can also grind flour without any problems. However, you must know that the container then becomes “blind”, this means that the container no longer is transparent.
But that does not influence the function.

Hello Pascal,

thank you very much for your question.

In principle, both models mentioned differ only in the motor block with its special controls. The Forte 2.0 has more time programs and buttons. The Piano has a much simpler design and also is smaller. In terms of performance, container features and preparation options, both are identical. The warranty period also is the same.
The Forte 2.0 offers more options in operation and is thus is slightly superior. However, it probably did not appeal to most of our customers visually, which is why we had stopped selling the Forte 2.0.

Hello Rüdiger,

Thank you very much for your message, we are happy to heard that you are satisfied with your piano :-)

In this case, we recommend our spatula, which we offer in the webshop. The spatula helps to empty the container without scratching it. The spatula can reach the bottom of the container easily due to it compact size. Follow the link to find out more about the product:

Hello Daniela,

thank you for your message but too bad that the container is defective

Please follow the following link to find the right container: Bianco 2 liter container.

Kind regards,

Dear Christine,
Thank you for your request.

Of course, the blender does not need to be plugged in when not in use.
Therefore, you can pull the plug or use our power-saving plug, which sits between the socket and the blender plug and interrupts the flow of electricity by turning it.

Kind regards from Berlin from your team of gruenesmoothies.com :)

Dear Sabrina,

I would recommend the following procedure: Chop the avocado pit into quarters or eighths with a sharp knife. This is much easier than you might think. This way the pieces dry much faster, and also they can be ground better.
The same goes for a fresh core in a smoothie. If it is very small, you can add it completely. If it is larger, cut it at least once.
Using 1 small seed to about 1 liter of smoothie, I could hardly notice any difference in taste. However, my smoothies with citrus seeds and peels are always a bit more bitter anyway ;)

Best regards from Berlin

Hello Verena,

thank you very much for your question.

You can process chestnuts into flour in the Bianco Piano without any problems. However, if you regularly grind harder foods in the container, this can lead to premature signs of wear (plastic becomes cloudy).

Hello Ilka,

thank you very much for your message and the nice feedback :- )

The Bianco Piano is very versatile and therefore suitable for the dishes you mentioned.
It will support you in your dietary change and furthermore help you experience around with new preparations.

Hello Alexander Fridmann.

You can only operate the piano indirectly for manual applications without a time preset. To do this, press the minus button on the timer button once (i.e. after switching on the device) – the time setting is set to 10 min. – which should be significantly longer than any application ;)

I hope this answer was helpful!:-)

Hello Camilla,

thank you very much for your question.

You can also use the Piano to make almond paste - due to its narrowly tapered container, you can make smaller quantities and also have good access to the ingredients. This is crucial when preparing almond/nut butter!

The preparation of almond butter – regardless which blender it is – is a requirement a device must meet to be listed in our product range. Success not only depends on experience, but also on the quality of the almonds/nuts and the roasting time.

You can find our instructions for almond or nut butter here.
You will also find an interesting user comment from Astrid from 3.3.2019 on here experience with almond paste.

Hello Theo,

thanks for your question.

If you are talking about the vegan patty dough, we can only suggest being careful here. Without having tried this recipe ourselves, we can at least say that step 2 of the recipe is not one of the supreme disciplines of a high-speed blender, as the water content of the mass seems very low. Probably for this reason, the editors of "Eat this" deliberately distinguish between “food processor” and “high-speed blender”.

Nevertheless, we are happy to be convinced of the opposite!:-)
We would also be interested in feedback on how it worked out.

Best regards,

Your GrueneSmoothies.com Team

Hi Lisa,

thanks for the question!

In terms of cleaning, there is no difference between the two devices.

It is enough to rinse the container with water after using the blender for smoothie preparations.

If greasy ingredients were used, add a drop of dishwashing liquid and use our optional cleaning brush.

That's it.

Kind regards,

Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello Nadine,

thank you for the question.

The container shape is usually more important than the minimum speed. The smaller base of the Piano's container allow the tamper to easily reach the corners and the edges of the container. The Panda's container, on the other hand, makes it difficult for the tamper to reach the corners, leaving the viscous products to be handled without a tamper – impossible.

It is also important to soak the dates and nuts the night before. This increases the chances of success significantly!

In general, you can say that high-speed blenders are not really made for date preparations. It's too sticky/tough and the motors are designed for high speeds and less torque....

As for high-speed blenders with a good price / performance ratio, we can currently recommend the Vitamix Pro 500 in addition to the Piano.

Best regards,

Hello Lisa,

thank you very much for your question. The Piano is definitely one of the most interesting blenders on the market, especially in the price segment under 300 EUR!

You can easily blend fruits in the Piano to a homogeneous (!) drink, whereby you can control the consistency as you wish by adding water. Blend on high for 45 seconds or simply activate the green smoothie program, and you'll get an extremely finely puréed smoothie with nothing left to chew.

Best wishes and have fun with the Piano!

Hello Uta,

thank you for your question.

The manufacturer has taken the piano off the site, as we are allowed to offer it exclusively. The container is still available on the manufacturer's site.

The Premium container does not come with the Bianco Piano, but this Bianco 2 liter container.

From our point of view, an extremely attractive container, if not the best from Bianco di Puro.
Compared to the Premium container, it makes creamier smoothies, is lighter, and has similar features when it comes to preparation possibilities.

Best regards,

Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello Grit,

Thank you very much for your question.

We ground coffee and almonds in our piano tests – which works great; we haven't tried tiger nuts yet. But that shouldn't really be a problem for the piano.

Many greetings

Hi Jasmin,

Thank you for the question.

In terms of performance, almond past is not a problem for the Piano, but it requires some practice.

Whether it succeeds depends, among other things, on which type of almonds you use, the quality of the almonds, how long the almonds are roasted and the blade-tip-speed.

Here is our recipe: Make almond paste yourself

Good luck with trying it out!

Best regards,

Hello Susann Kneesch,

Thank you for your question.

The main difference between Bianco and Vitamix is the load capacity. Vitamix blenders are manufactured in "gastro quality" and made for multiple daily use over years/decades. This is also reflected in the warranty period, which also includes wear parts such as containers. Therefore, we would not be surprised if a Vitamix is in use twice as long as a Bianco mixer.

However, in terms of blade speed performance, the Piano is almost on par with the TNC 5200. The green smoothie from the Piano impresses. We have never seen such a result from a Bianco before, and this is the most cost-effective model! Absolutely paradox!

As far as volume levels are concerned, the TNC 5200 is a bit louder at maximum speed, but that's not surprising because it also rotates faster. Comparing both devices at the same speed, it should even be quieter, but in practice, the maximum is more interesting. ;-)

Both blenders offer first-class blending results.
Therefore, I'm pretty confident that you will enjoy blending with either device!

Best regards,

Your GrueneSmoothies.com team
