Lelit PL 42 EMI Anita – portafilter machine with integrated grinder
Fill in the beans, grind, pull the shot – the Lelit PL 42 EMI Anita combines espresso machine and grinder in a single unit and keeps the path from bean to cup short. The illuminated pressure gauge shows you the brew pressure as the espresso runs into the cup.
A 38 mm conical burr grinder grinds fresh directly into the portafilter, a 250 ml brass boiler takes care of the coffee temperature. Compact, tidy, fit for everyday use. Espresso is complex, but it's not rocket science – the coffee has to taste good to you. Our opinion is one of many.

Frequently asked questions
What sets the Lelit PL 42 EMI Anita apart from the PL 42 TEMD?
Both have an integrated 38 mm conical grinder. The PL 42 TEMD also adds electronic PID temperature control; the Anita comes without PID.
Do I have to grind the coffee separately for the Lelit Anita?
No. The Anita has an integrated grinder and a built-in tamper – grinding and tamping happen right at the machine.
Can I see the Lelit PL 42 EMI Anita live before I buy it?
That depends on whether the Lelit PL 42 EMI Anita is on display right now. Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – it is too large for that, and the display changes.
