Machine Overview

The Lelit Anita and Breville Barista Pro are both semi-automatic espresso machines targeting beginners in the coffee-making space. The Lelit Anita has an MSRP of $780, while the Breville Barista Pro is priced at $849.95, making the former more budget-friendly. Both machines are designed for users who may not have extensive experience in espresso brewing.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Anita uses a toggle switch for activation and features a brass brew group with a single stainless steel boiler. Its heat-up time ranges from 5 to 15 minutes, and it has a brew boiler capacity of 0.25 liters. On the other hand, the Breville Barista Pro features an LCD screen for activation and utilizes a thermoblock heating system with a semi-saturated group type. It also offers a heat-up time of 5 to 15 minutes but does not specify a brew boiler capacity.

Features Comparison

When examining the key features, the Lelit Anita doesn't have an auto shutoff feature but does include a boiler pressure gauge and a steam wand, while the Breville Barista Pro has an auto shutoff capability and both pre-infusion and shot timer features. Both machines have an integrated grinder and solenoid valve, ensuring high functionality during the brewing process. However, the Lelit Anita has an over-pressure valve, while the Breville model lacks this feature, giving the Lelit a slight edge in that area.
