The Anita PID is priced at $585, making it more affordable than the Anna PID, which has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $699. Both machines share the same brand, Lelit, indicating they are likely to have similar build quality and performance standards. However, the difference in price may suggest variations in features or capabilities.

They also share a group type designated as Lelit57 and employ a vibration pump type for brewing. Both machines have an identical heat-up time of 5-15 minutes, water reservoir capacity of 2.7 liters, and no steam boiler capacity, allowing for a comparable brewing experience.

The key features of the machines also present some similarities and differences. Both machines do not have auto shutoff and feature a boiler pressure gauge, but the Anita PID includes an integrated grinder while the Anna PID does not.

Additionally, both support a steam wand, solenoid valve, and over-pressure valve, but neither has smart connectivity or pre-infusion.
