Machine Overview

The Lelit Elizabeth, priced at $1799, is designed for intermediate users, while the Breville Barista Touch Impress is more accessible with a price of $1499.95 and is targeted toward beginners. Both machines are semi-automatic, providing users with a degree of control over the brewing process, but their intended skill levels differ significantly.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Elizabeth features a dual boiler system, with a heat up time of 15-30 minutes, while the Breville Barista Touch Impress uses a thermoblock heating element that heats up in less than 5 minutes. The Lelit has a water reservoir capacity of 2.5 liters, compared to Breville's smaller 1.9-liter capacity. Additionally, the Lelit includes a brass brew boiler and group materials, enhancing its build quality, while the Breville does not specify these materials in its capabilities.

Features Comparison

Both machines come with a variety of features to enhance the espresso-making experience. The Lelit Elizabeth has features such as dual PID control, a shot timer, and a steam wand with no burn technology. On the other hand, the Breville Barista Touch Impress includes an integrated grinder, while it lacks dual PID control and a shot timer, which may appeal to beginners looking for simplicity without compromising on quality.
