Machine Overview

The Breville Barista Touch and Lelit Anita PID are both semi-automatic espresso machines targeted at beginner users. The Breville model is priced at $1099.95, making it significantly more expensive than the Lelit Anita PID, which retails for $585.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing features, the Breville Barista Touch utilizes a touch screen for activation, has a Thermoblock heating element, and heats up in under 5 minutes. Conversely, the Lelit Anita PID operates with a toggle switch, employs a stainless steel single boiler, and has a longer heat-up time ranging from 5 to 15 minutes. The portafilter size differs as well, with Breville offering a 54mm portafilter and Lelit providing a 57mm one.

Features Comparison

Regarding the machine features, the Breville Barista Touch includes an auto shutoff function, integrated grinder, and PID control, but lacks advanced gauges and pre-infusion settings. The Lelit Anita PID features a boiler pressure gauge, PID control, and integrates a grinder but does not have an auto shutoff and has no-burn wand. Both machines provide hot water and steam wands, but they differ in their overall design and offer additional capabilities.
