EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The first espresso machine, the Lelit Anna, is priced at $569, catering to beginner users with its semi-automatic operation. In contrast, the La Marzocco Linea Micra is significantly more expensive at $3,900 and is designed for advanced users. Both machines are made from stainless steel, providing durability and a professional appearance. However, their price and target user level starkly contrast each other.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Anna has a single boiler with a brew boiler capacity of 0.25 liters, while the Linea Micra features a dual boiler with a larger brew boiler capacity of 0.3 liters. The heat-up time for the Lelit Anna ranges from 5 to 15 minutes, compared to the Linea Micra's heat-up time of 15 to 30 minutes. The Anna uses a vibration pump and has a water reservoir capacity of 2.7 liters, whereas the Linea Micra utilizes a rotary pump with a smaller 1.6-liter water reservoir. Additionally, the activation method for the Anna is a toggle switch, while the Linea Micra employs a paddle activation.

Features Comparison

Both machines offer distinct features; the Lelit Anna does not include an auto shutoff but does feature a boiler pressure gauge and a solenoid valve. The Linea Micra, in comparison, has more advanced features such as auto shutoff, PID controls, pre-infusion capabilities, and smart connectivity. Both machines come with a steam wand, but the Linea Micra features a no-burn wand for added safety. Furthermore, the Linea Micra supports concurrent brew and steam operations, while the Lelit Anna does not have this feature.
