Hello!
I’m hoping you can help me with a small problem of mine. I’m taking a barista course next week, and the people behind it will be offering us to buy a Lelit PL 55 espresso machine at a greatly reduced price, slightly below a Rancilio Silvia. The thing is, the Lelit machines are virtually unknown in my country (Sweden) so getting user information is very difficult. From what I can see, they’re quite known elsewhere, so hopefully you can give me some insight as to whether or not the PL 55 is on a par or better than a Silvia.
I’m also a bit worried about the steam part of the machine, which on the product information site has a white plastic piece on it that I’m guessing is a turbo part, which I hear is not a good thing to have, do you agree? I’ve read that it has a rather odd filter dimension, 57mm or something, while others use 58? Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated!
Bottom line, should I buy this instead of a Silvia?
