Machine Overview

The Lelit Elizabeth and the Ascaso Baby Bar One are both semi-automatic espresso machines designed for intermediate users. The Lelit Elizabeth has a price point of $1799, while the Ascaso Baby Bar One is slightly more expensive at $1999. Both machines offer a level of quality suitable for those with some experience in making espresso beverages.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Elizabeth features a dual boiler system with a heat-up time of 15-30 minutes. It has a brass brew boiler and a steam boiler capacity of 0.6 liters. Alternatively, the Ascaso Baby Bar One also uses a dual boiler setup, but has a longer heat-up time of over 30 minutes, with a larger steam boiler capacity of 4 liters and a stainless steel boiler material.

Features Comparison

When looking at their key features, the Lelit Elizabeth offers an auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauge, dual PID control, and a pre-infusion option. It also includes a hot water feature and a steam wand with no burn technology. The Ascaso Baby Bar One, on the other hand, lacks an auto shutoff and boiler pressure gauge but includes a steam pressure gauge and the same pre-infusion and shot timer capabilities. Both machines have no integrated grinder and do not support smart connectivity.
