Lelit Anna
CoffeeSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
The Anna PL41TEM is Lelit's single-boiler entry point: a 250 ml brass boiler serving both coffee and steam through the proprietary LELIT57 group, compatible with barista accessories of the same standard. The TEM version adds a PID controller on boiler temperature over the electronics-free EM variant, narrowing thermal swing shot after shot.
A 3-way solenoid valve dries the puck at the end of extraction, the front gauge shows pressure during the shot, and the side window lets you check the water level in the 2.7 l tank without opening it. The body is stainless steel with a wire-grate drip tray, the switches are lever-type, and the multidirectional steam wand is designed to avoid burns.
At 23x38x34 cm and 7.5 kg it is among the most compact machines in Lelit's catalog, aimed at a first step into prosumer territory. The manufacturer does not state a portafilter diameter that maps onto our taxonomy (the LELIT57 group is a proprietary 57 mm format), nor operating pressure or pump type.
