Lelit Anna with Pid PL41TEM espresso machine

Lelit Anna Espresso Machine with PID is designed for users who are new to semi-professional espresso machines. This machine is easy to use and has the ability to make excellent coffee, cappuccinos, tea, and espresso instantly. The PID display enhances temperature accuracy.

Lelit Anna features a single boiler design, suitable for moderate home use. It has a 0.25L brass boiler positioned directly above the brewing group head, helping to maintain temperature stability during the brewing process. The machine is equipped with a vibration pump that slowly ramps up to full pressure to produce a well-balanced cup of coffee.

The Lelit Anna series is named after the character played by Audrey Hepburn in the movie "Roman Holiday," aiming to provide true semi-professional machines for first-time espresso users. This machine has a professional steam wand for frothing milk and making delicious cappuccinos.

In addition, the machine is equipped with a factory-calibrated overpressure valve to ensure optimal extraction pressure, resulting in a smooth crema-like espresso. Even without any preset pre-infusion control, you can still perform manual pre-infusion by activating the pump switch for 1-2 seconds, letting the coffee sit for a few seconds, and then starting the extraction process, making it very popular in the entry-level home market and a very cost-effective espresso machine.
