EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Lelit Anita, is priced at $780 and designed for beginners. In contrast, Machine 2, the Lelit Anna PID, is slightly more affordable at $699, also targeting beginner users. Both models fall under the semi-automatic category and are produced by the Lelit brand.

Brewing Comparison

Both machines use a toggle switch for activation and feature a stainless steel boiler and 0.25-liter brew boiler capacity. They have identical group types (Lelit57) and primary heating elements (Single Boiler), as well as the same portafilter size of 57 mm. The heat-up time for both machines ranges from 5 to 15 minutes, and they both utilize a vibration pump. Each machine also has a water reservoir capacity of 2.7 liters.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, the Lelit Anita includes an integrated grinder, while the Lelit Anna PID does not. However, the Anna PID offers PID control, allowing for more precise temperature management, a feature absent in the Anita. Both machines come with a boiler pressure gauge, steam wand, solenoid valve, and an over-pressure valve. They lack additional functionalities like auto shutoff, concurrent brew steam, and smart connectivity.
