  1. 🚫 Valuations (What's it worth?) 🚫
    Hi I have a Lelit Victoria that I got from Bella Barista July 2018. It has had light use, about 6-10 espresso a week. I clean it regularly and it benefits from being in Sheffield where it is soft water. I still have the box and all manuals. Any ideas of value?

    Loving the new Bianca, seems to easy to use. Getting more and more flavours from my coffee. A few queries: I notice in the videos @DavecUK uses 94C any reason or is that his preferred temp? The default seems to be 95C. I thought 93C is the generally temperature to be using. Only one issue...

    Ok, so here's the thing... I've got a Delonghi ES330 that I've had for 10 years that i'm now looking to upgrade to a 'proper' machine. I'd been planning on getting a Silvia until I popped into Bella Barista last week and got chatting. I'm now wondering whether it's worth pushing to boat out to...

    Hey Folks, I'm in the running for a new machine and wanted to tap into your knowledge on machines and specifically the Lelit Mara line up (I know there's a whole thread about the Bianca, I've read all of it, but feel free to weigh in with the Bianca if need be). From what I can gather about...

    Hi everyone. I'm looking to upgrade. I had a Francis Francis x1, then Nespresso when we had twins for the ease. It's now time to get something decent. I was going to buy the sage barista express but I'm now tempted by the lelit anita. Any advice? My budget is around £500. I'd love a La Pavoni...

    New (smaller) kitchen means that I need to replace my Expobar Leva HX which I have been very happy with for the last five years with something smaller. I am most drawn to a couple of Lelit options, either the Victoria PL91T @ ~£700, the Diana PL60PlusR1 @ ~£1000 or Elizabeth PL92T @ ~£1100...

    I'm interested in what Forum members think of this machine. I know very little about Lelit's other products. It appears that the Bianca may be available in some markets now and in the U.S. perhaps in July. The price quoted by 1st Line is pretty competitive with other double boiler machines.

    Evening all I'm thinking about upgrading from the Gaggia Classic to a HX machine. I've seen an Isomac Tea c2003 online going for £285; seems to have been well looked after, having had many parts recently replaced, although the seller thinks it'll need a new pump soon. Given that this could...

    Hi, I currently own a Rocket Giotto Premium Plus with pid. I need to change to a machine with a smaller footprint as my kitchen alterations will leave me less space. I have narrowed it down to the Lelit Mara pl62 g, I love the gold finish on this machine, the Rocket Appartamento or whether to...

    Hello everyone, How many people in the forum use or have used machines from this brand? Can you say a few words of them at first hand, like build and materials quality, are they mod friendly etc ? Greetings!

    Hi all. I joined the forum 18 months ago and remember spending a long time researching the eternal question of "what coffee machine should I buy?" We ended up just fixing the (pretty rubbish) one that we had, but now it has died and it is time to finally get a proper machine. I remembered...

    I'm thinking of getting into espresso and I've found an offer for this machine for 299eur, but I'm struggling to find much info on it. Does anyone know anything about it? Would it be a good entry level machine. I've read that you should spend more on grinder than machine but I'm currently...

    Does anybody have experience to help me compare the following grinders. They would be paired (most probably) with a Lelit PL62 Mara HX espresso machine. Eureka Mignon Mk.2 for £235 Lelit William PL71 for £275 (this is not the stand alone price, but the effective price from buying as part of a...

    Hi All, apologies for the long post. I'm just discovering "proper" coffee in the last few months I was bought an Aeropress, well two actually, and bought some coffee from the York Coffee Emporium. Since then I've gone more local and used Pumphrey's coffee not too far from me. Milky drinks tend...

    Selling my 1 year old PL41TEM as I've upgraded to a Brewtus. I have probably made about 1 coffee a day on average. It has been descaled every few months and only used with filtered jug water and an in-tank water softener and subsequently Ashbeck bottled water. Backflushed with Cafiza every week...

    Hi guys! I am new to the forums and just today got a bottomless portafilter for my Lelit PL41TEM. I've had the machine around 2 weeks and am managing to get some quite good tasting shots, but nothing super thick yet. Here's a video of a good tasting shot: I used Populus beans (a local...

    Lelit Mara PL62 review Firstly, this machine is the first proper machine I have used so have little to offer in terms of comparison, it is a review of Lelit 'pro line' Mara coffee machine. There aren't many reviews of the Lelit around so this is my 5 pence worth. They have 3 machines in the...

    My new bottomless portafilter has just arrived for my Lelit PL60. The only thing is there is a notch cut in to the rim. As the basket sits on top and mates with the grouphead seal I don't see much point to it. Or is there a point?

    My Krups grinder recently packed in and after reading posts on here and elsewhere I have just ordered a new Eureka Mignon to replace it. I have owned and used a Gaggia Cubika machine for the last 10 years, but I am now thinking that it may also be a good idea to upgrade my machine to something...
