  • Lelit Victoria or Kate

    I have narrowed my choice down to either the Victoria or Kate.

    The only difference I can see id the built in grinder.

    I am currently in Australia but the machine will go back to Bali with me. I have a Rocky grinder in Bali but it may be many months till I can get back (want the Covid thing under a little more control before I return). My Rocky is also has a doser and I would want to then convert with a chute a portafilter holder.

    The Kate of course has a fairly good grinder built in, would reduce bench space and look nicer (subjective I know).

    From speaking to JetBlack I understand the Rocky and the built in grinder are equally as good, just different (flat burr vs conical). The Rocky is old (over 15 years) but had a period of not being used and has new burrs.

    Any thoughts which is the better option and why?

    I like the Kate. The grinder is a good quality conical burr with stepless adjustment and digital timer (similar to the 44MMT). So it’s compact, clean, good for a consistent result, and handy when you want to take it somewhere.

      Thanks Charlie,

      Do you still have stock of the Kate?

        I’m pretty sure the last one sold online this morning and we’re now selling the August shipment but I can confirm tomorrow.

          I’m sure jetblack aren’t the only ones selling them. Google is your friend

            Thanks Charlie for your advice regarding the Kate.

            Ronin, yep your right Jetblack is not the only supplier, unfortunately everyone is out of stock and only Jetblack lists an ETA.
            On the positive though I managed to secure one in Adelaide through Complete Cafe Services which are supplied by Jetblack. Picked it up this morning.

            I have a couple of questions which I will post separately.

                Poorly written by me, sorry.

                I tried multiple dealers online and everyone was out of stock. I then found out the a local store was a stockist of Lelit through Jetblack and they had a display model (not demo) left.

                  good machine though, you won’t be disappointed. Congratulations
