Machine Overview

The Breville Barista Touch Impress is priced at $1,499.95 and is positioned for beginners, offering a user-friendly experience. In contrast, the Lelit Anna PID comes in at a significantly lower price of $699, also targeting beginner users. Both machines are classified as semi-automatic, making them suitable for those looking to delve into the world of espresso-making without requiring extensive barista skills.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Breville features a button activation, with a heat-up time of under 5 minutes, utilizing a Thermoblock heating element. Meanwhile, the Lelit Anna PID employs a toggle switch for activation and has a heat-up time ranging from 5 to 15 minutes, utilizing a single boiler heating element. The Breville's water reservoir capacity is 1.9 liters, while the Lelit offers a larger 2.7-liter capacity. Notably, the portafilter sizes differ, with the Breville using a 54mm portafilter and the Lelit utilizing a 57mm portafilter.

Features Comparison

Key features of the Breville include an integrated grinder, PID control, auto shutoff, and pre-infusion capabilities, enhancing the espresso-making process. The Lelit Anna PID, while lacking an integrated grinder and auto shutoff, boasts PID control with degree control and an over-pressure valve. Both machines come equipped with steam wands for frothing milk, but only the Breville has the pre-infusion feature and solenoid valve for improved brewing consistency.
