Features: Rated: The Le'lit has stepped forward as one of the best contenders for home. It's an extrememly capable espresso machine with a PID preinstalled, under the $600 mark! You simply can't find this anywhere else!New Features:Multi-directional steam wand that has been lengthened compared to the previous Lelit machines, with a commercial-quality single hole steam tip. Pre-installed PID unit. Contains the upgrades from the PL041QE model (dispersion screen, pod basket, etc). Features that customers can't pass up:Less than 15 (some customers report less than 10!) minute warm-up time. Faster than the Silvia! More constant and powerful steam than a Gaggia Classic! Directly connected group and boiler (known as a saturated group) providing beter temperature stability than other home models (Silvia). Now features a PID unit! The PID is the newest innovation from Le'lit- it allows the user to change the temperature of the coffee boiler to allow the water temp most closely perform a superior and more consistent espresso extraction. Fast transition to steam mode- With its optimally-sized brass boiler, it has less wait time to get to steam mode when compared to larger brass boiler machines, and the steaming performance is quite powerful for this little baby. You can also see the water level in the reservoir from the side of the machine - something the more expensive machines do not have. This machine is one of our favorites! Exclusively imported by 1st-line Equipment and available only at select dealers in the USA. High polish stainless steel body rivals much more expensive machines in looks alone. Technical Features:Polished stainless steel body throughout makes this unit a show stopper in your home or office! NEW multi-directional steam wand, with extended length from previous PL041 versions. 2 thermostat system - one for steam mode, one for element safety. Main power switch moved to rear of machine. PID can control element power. PID controlled brew temperature. The overpressure valve (a.k.a. OPV) is now adjusted to 9-10 bar. The manufacturer does not recommend adjusting the OPV on their machines as Loctite is used to hold the adjustment screw in place. Heavy-duty, chromed brass filter holder with covered two spouts allows one or two cup espresso extractions - 57mm size - need a quality tamper to boot! The brass boiler, found only in the better machines, delivers a tremendous amount of steam power for frothing/steaming milk and unlike the aluminum/stainless steel boilers found in Gaggia machines, the brass boiler does have greater temperature stability for extracting a superior espresso. More importantly, the brass boiler is set directly over the grouphead (know as a saturated group)- unlike the Rancilio Silvia which has the boiler offset from the grouphead. Removable, large 2.6 liter (88 oz.) water reservoir with easy-view water level windows on the sides of the machine. Pump pressure rating at 15 bar - only 9 bar is need to extract espresso. The 3-way solenoid valve allows the operator to remove the coffee filter handle immediately after turning off the coffee switch. Dry pucks! Dedicated hot water switch allows hot water dispensing through open steam wand for hot chocolate, tea, and instant soup. The steam knob does need to be turned to open the steam valve. Holding guide on steam wand prevents finger burning when moving steam wand. Large cup warmer fits up to 6 espresso/demitasse cups.
