Lelit Anita Espresso Machine

Yes, the Anita features stepless micrometric adjustments. This allows you to make precise, infinite changes to your grind size, which is essential for fine-tuning your extraction and getting the best flavor out of various bean origins.

The PID controller maintains a steady, precise water temperature inside the boiler. This eliminates the temperature fluctuations common in entry-level machines, ensuring your espresso tastes consistent shot after shot.

No, the Lelit Anita uses a 57mm portafilter. You will need to purchase a 57mm tamper to ensure a proper fit and even compression of your coffee grounds.

The multidirectional steam wand is highly capable of producing professional-grade microfoam. Because it is manual, it offers the control needed to texture milk for lattes and cappuccinos, though it does require a bit of practice to master.

The manometer displays your extraction pressure in real-time. It acts as a diagnostic tool, helping you understand if your grind size and tamping pressure are correct; if the needle is outside the ideal range, you know exactly how to adjust your technique.

The Anita measures 12.5 by 14.5 by 14.5 inches. While it is a compact, all-in-one unit, you should ensure you have enough vertical clearance to easily access the water tank and hopper from the top.
