Lelit Anita
CoffeeSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
The Anita PL042TEMD pairs a 250 ml brass single boiler, with the proprietary LELIT57 group, to a built-in grinder with 38 mm conical burrs and stepless micrometric adjustment. The 150 g hopper feeds the grinder directly above the group, aimed at grinding fresh without a separate grinder on the counter.
The TermoPID display regulates both boiler and steam temperature, a level of electronic control the display-free EM variant does not offer. A 3-way solenoid valve dries the puck at the end of extraction, the gauge with a green zone marks optimal pressure during the shot, and the 2.7 l tank feeds the boiler shared between coffee and steam.
At 31.5x36.5x37 cm and 10.2 kg it stays a compact bench machine despite the built-in grinder. The manufacturer does not state operating pressure, pump type, or a portafilter diameter that maps onto our taxonomy, since the LELIT57 group is a proprietary 57 mm format.
