Machine Overview

The Lelit Anita PID is priced at $585 and is designed for beginner users, offering a more accessible entry point into espresso making. In contrast, the La Marzocco Linea Micra comes at a premium price of $3900, targeting advanced users who are likely to have more experience and skill in brewing espresso.

Brewing Comparison

For brewing capabilities, the Lelit Anita features a single boiler with a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes, using a toggle switch for activation and a brass group type. Meanwhile, the La Marzocco Linea Micra employs a dual boiler system with a longer heat-up time of 15-30 minutes and utilizes paddle activation. The boiler capacities differ slightly, with the Lelit offering a brew boiler capacity of 0.25 liters compared to the Linea Micra's 0.30 liters, and steam boiler capacity of 1.6 liters for the Linea Micra.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, the Lelit Anita includes PID control, a boiler pressure gauge, and an integrated grinder, while the La Marzocco Linea Micra boasts more advanced functionalities, such as auto shutoff, concurrent brew steam, and smart connectivity. Both machines support hot water delivery, solenoid valves, and steam wands, but the Linea Micra features a no-burn wand for safety and pre-infusion capabilities for optimal extraction.
