Lelit

Lelit is based in Castegnato, in the province of Brescia, and is an Italian manufacturer that produces both coffee machines and grinders alongside its historic line of ironing systems and ironing boards. The official website does not state a founding year or the founders' names, so CoffeeSpecs omits them: secondary sources (trade press, Wikipedia) point to the business starting in 1986 with an expansion into coffee machines from the early 2000s, but since this could not be verified on an official page it was not included. Since 2022 the company has reportedly been part of the Australian Breville Group according to Italian business press, though this too is not confirmed by any official Lelit page consulted directly.
