Re: new machine

I have had a LeLit combi for almost a year and am very happy with it. I only put into the grinder the amount of beans needed for immediate use. The inbuilt grinder grinds OK and leaves no residue. The coffee shot produced is great, but like all machines, the operator dictates the final results. Steaming milk is excellent, producing great microfoam. The machine looks good, is clean to operate, easy to clean and takes up minimal bench space. On the occasions that we have had visitors the LeLit has performed OK for a single boiler machine.
I would recommend the LeLit if you are not making a lot of coffees at the same time and your budget is limited.
Cheers

, learn the ropes (by hanging around here on Coffee Snobs and practice) and get a good tamper. The plastic one on the machine (as on most machines) is too small and near useless. You will need to get a 57mm hand held one. (Also a milk jug or 2, knock box, backflush detergent and descaler, rubber back flush disc, maybe a milk thermometer, shot glass, tamp map, timer, scales, heat gun, breadmaker,... hang on Greg, one thing at a time.)
I think this site is a bit addictive, maybe its the coffee!
