Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Lelit Elizabeth, is a semi-automatic espresso machine priced at $1,799 and aimed at intermediate users. In contrast, Machine 2, the Lelit Anna PID, is also semi-automatic but has a lower price point of $699, tailored for beginners. Both machines are from the same manufacturer, Lelit, which suggests consistent quality across their products.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Elizabeth activates via a button and features a dual boiler system with a heat-up time of 15-30 minutes, while the Lelit Anna PID employs a toggle switch and has a single boiler with a quicker heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. The brew boiler capacity for the Elizabeth is 0.3 liters compared to the Anna's 0.25 liters, and both machines utilize a brass brew group. Additionally, the Elizabeth has a steam boiler capacity of 0.6 liters, whereas the Anna lacks a steam boiler.

Features Comparison

When it comes to key features, the Lelit Elizabeth comes equipped with a variety of advanced features including dual PID control, pre-infusion, and shot timer, alongside a steam wand and no-burn design. In contrast, the Lelit Anna PID offers fewer features, omitting auto shutoff, pre-infusion, and a shot timer, but still includes a steam wand and solenoid valve. The emphasis on different feature sets indicates that while the Elizabeth is designed for more experienced users, the Anna PID provides essential functionalities suitable for beginners.
