Product Specifications

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

Lelit Anna uses a single boiler design, suitable for moderate home use. It features a 0.25L brass boiler located directly above the brew head, helping to maintain stable temperature during the brewing process. This coffee machine is equipped with a vibration pump that gradually increases to full pressure to make a good and balanced cup of coffee.

The Lelit Anna series is named after Audrey Hepburn's character in the movie “Vacanze Romane”, aiming to provide a true semi-professional machine for first-time espresso users. This coffee machine features a professional steam wand, capable of frothing milk and making delicious cappuccinos.

In addition, the machine is equipped with a factory-calibrated overpressure valve to ensure optimal extraction pressure, achieving smooth, milk-like espresso. Even though the PL41 does not have any preset pre-infusion control, you can still manually pre-infuse by activating the pump switch for 1-2 seconds, then letting the coffee sit for a few seconds before starting to extract your espresso, making it very popular in the home entry market. It is a very cost-effective espresso machine.
