The Lelit Anna series is named after the character played by Audrey |
Anna is a set of espresso machines for those who
get into espresso coffee for the first time and look for a real
semiprofessional machine. Small sizes, professional build quality and a choice
of high performance features, including a professional steam wand to froth milk
and prepare delicious cappuccinos, make Anna the perfect companion for everyday
espressos, dinner with friends or coffee breaks in small offices.
The main advantage of these machines is their
build quality. Key
components – the group head, boiler and filter basket – are made from brass,
which ensures very good thermal stability. Thermal
stability is required to get great espresso extractions as well as when trying
to achieve silky, creamy milk for lattes and cappuccinos. We
noticeably improved the performances of the boiler and matched it with a
professional steam wand, so that espresso coffee, lattes and cappuccinos at
home would become an everyday routine.
If coffee flavour is your primary concern, your
machine must be paired with a quality burr grinder. Here
is something you need to understand about coffee: ground coffee is stale within
minutes. With an espresso machine and no grinder, you would be forced to use
pre-ground coffee, which is unavoidably stale. You
can’t make great espresso at home – or anywhere – without a quality burr coffee
grinder.
A perfect extraction derives from a balance
between tamping strengh, brew water temperature, grinding settings and blend
quality (both in terms of freshness and type). The brew
pressure gauge built into LELIT machines shows whether the brew pressure
is optimal. Too little pressure indicates an under extraction (insipid
flavour), too much pressure indicates an over extraction bitter, sour
flavour.
Brass boilers and full stainless steel body,
matched with clean, uncluttered interior design mean that the machines are easy
to repair and have extended longevity.
