LELIT PL41TEM ANNA PID Espresso Coffee Machine

Excellent thermal stability

The brew boiler is located directly over the brewing group to maximise temperature stability and ensure water travels the shortest path from boiler to your cup while remaining at the right temperature. Brewing group and boiler are constructed from brass to maximise temperature stability and keep your delicious espresso at the correct temperature.

Stable brew boiler temperature 

LELIT uses a PID temperature controller to keep the brew temperature within 1 degree. Unlike thermostat-controlled machines which can have up to 10 degrees variation in brew water temperature; the PID on this machine keeps the water at the same temperature each and every time you make a coffee for more consistent results.

Chromed brass 57 mm filter-holder

A proper filter-holder constructed from chromed brass helps to maintain a nice stable brew temperature for perfect professional quality espresso. Heavy duty 57 mm chromed brass filter-holder allows you to extract espresso just like the professionals. LELIT ANNA filter-holder has a double outlet and includes a range of coffee filter baskets to suit your requirements.

Brew extraction pressure gauge

A real asset when searching for the ultimate extraction, the brew extraction pressure gauge tells you under what pressure your espresso is being extracted. If the pressure is too high you can adjust your coffee grind to be more coarse; if the pressure is too low, you can adjust to a finer grind.

Adjustable brew temperature

Want your espresso extracted at a slightly higher or lower temperature? No problem... You can adjust the brew temperature above or below the standard 90 degrees to suit your taste and coffee variety. This is particularly useful if you want to experiment with single origin or other specialty coffees.

3-Way brewing control valve

3-Way solenoid valve is a commercial feature that not only directs the flow of water from the boiler to the brew group, but also relieves the water pressure off the ground coffee once brewing is complete. The valve relieves brewing pressure from the filter-holder allowing you to remove the filter-holder immediately after brewing is complete - ready to make another espresso.

Powerful 15 bar ULKA vibration pump

Industry standard 15 bar ULKA vibration pump delivers pressurised water to the brewing system.

Factory calibrated Over-Pressure Valve

Factory calibrated Over Pressure Valve ensures the optimum extraction pressure is achieved for a smooth creamy espresso. Over-pressure valve regulates the pump pressure by returning excess pressure back to the water tank. Over-pressure valves help to prevent over-extraction of your espresso.

Manual Pre-Infusion

While the PL41 doesn't have any programmed pre-infusion control. You can pre-infuse the coffee by activating the pump switch for 1-2 seconds, then letting the coffee rest for a few seconds, before beginning to extract your espresso. This process delivers a small amount of water into the coffee before the full extraction pressure is applied. This pre-infusion creates are more even distribution of the ground coffee to improve espresso flow.

2-Cup and 1-Cup commercial style filter baskets

Included are 2-Cup and 1-Cup filter baskets for making espresso in the commercial style where you grind coffee freshly for each cup. This achieves the best quality espresso where the grind consistency, dose, and compression are optimised for perfect espresso.

ESE POD 1-Cup filter basket

You can make coffee using ESE coffee pods with the included special ESE POD filter basket.

Powerful dry steam

Solid brass boiler delivers a nice powerful supply of steam. LELIT ANNA has the capacity to steam nice velvety milk for around 4 cups before you should refill the boiler. The brass boiler construction combined with a 1000 w heating element maintains a powerful steam supply from start to finish. This is what sets this machine apart from cheaper and entry-level single boiler coffee machines.

Fast heat time

1000w heating power and a relatively small 250 mL boiler size means this machine can deliver steam in less than 90 seconds. Once steam mode is engaged the boiler temperature ramps up to over 125 degrees. When steam is ready the PID display flashes; now the steam valve can be opened, and you can steam your milk.

Single hole steam tip for fine micro-foam

LELIT ANNA includes a single hole steam tip designed to deliver a nice fine stream of superheated steam. Single hole steam tips are the best for small domestic espresso machines delivering a single strong high-pressure jet of steam to assist with creating that desired micro-foam.

Commercial-style steam arm with ball-joint for control

Ball-joint steam arm connection gives you three axis of movement making it easy to position your steam arm just how you want it for maximum control of your milk steaming.

Soft-close professional style steam valve

Teflon steam gasket provides an easy to operate and reliable steam seal.

PID digital temperature display

PID temperature display indicates the steam/water temperature. Once you have switched the machine into steam mode simply wait until the display begins to flash (this indicates the machine has reached steam temperature) then begin steaming your milk.

87 mm cup clearance for latte glasses

87 mm clearance between the drip tray and the centre of the filter-holder allows you to use two latte glasses at once. The distance between the drip tray and filter-holder outlet is 80 mm. Suitable for use with 220/250 mL Duralex cafe latte glasses, 8oz takeaway cups, or 227 mL regular size KeepCup.

Water level indicator

View the water level quickly and easily. Left-hand side of the machine has a cut-out allowing you to view the water level in the water tank.

Metal toggle switches for ease of use

Two front mounted metal toggle switches provide easy control of the machine function. One switch operates the pump, while the other has three positions for coffee, hot-water, and steam functions. The metal toggle switches are solid and reliable giving a nice positive feel. The on-off button is mounted on the rear of the machine.

Wide cup warmer

A large cup-warming surface located on the top of the machine holds up to 6 espresso cups or 2 latte/cappuccino cups and keeps them warm.

Large drip tray slides out for easy clean-up

The large drip tray can accommodate a generous amount of spent coffee water and slides out for easy cleaning.

Generous 2.0 L water tank

2.0 L water tank is enough for a large number of coffees, so you won't be filling it up every day. 

Easy PID control

Boiler temperature is easily adjusted by holding down the two PID buttons for 2 seconds. When the temperature flashes you can increase or decrease the boiler temperature. After a few seconds the PID will stop flashing and you can continue to use the machine.
