  • Lelit machine and coffee mugs

    Hi all,

    The trusty Sunbeam EM6910 has just been pensioned off to the pay it forward forum and I am looking for a replacement, up to 2k, preferably 1-1.5k

    I don't have a lot of time to go down the machine selection rabbit hole but have settled on a Lelit machine.
    One of the criteria is can it fit a coffee mug underneath for the pour, rather than a cup or glass? The demo videos always use (correctly!) an espresso cup or glass.
    Not being able to fit a mug is a dealbreaker for me. Can I ask Lelit owners if there is enough space?
    Also suggestions for which model - they seem to make a baffling array. I would like single boiler, no built in grinder, small footprint. We make about 2-4 coffees a day, experienced with dialling in grinds, etc to get the best we can out of the machine.
    If there is some other machine (not Breville) that would be a ripper other than one of the Lelit models then let me know too.

    Thanks all
    Margaret

    Hi Margaret, the PLl41temd by Lelit fits your description, has a PID (worthwhile) and is just over $1k. There are some newer models which have extra features which I am not familiar with and probably worth speaking to a Lelit retailer. The PLl41temd is a good place to start from

      Depends on the shape/ size of the mug
      What shape is the one you prefer?

        This is a pic of an “average” sized mug. It just fits under my pl42. I can also fit scales with a bit of manoeuvring around the spouts. Larger or taller mugs I have don’t fit.

          Thanks for the picture - coffee mugs we have are the same size so there will be enough room.
          Will go and have a good squiz at the PL41TEMD.

            The Lelit Grace (PL81T) is a bit taller and has a couple of nice extra features (autofill etc), but is also a bit pricier.

              Is the Grace and the Victoria basically the same machine in Australia?
