Lelit PL 42 TEMD – portafilter machine with built-in grinder and PID
Add beans, grind, tamp, brew – all on one device on the counter. The Lelit PL 42 TEMD combines espresso machine and grinder and makes the path from bean to cup pleasantly short. The illuminated pressure gauge shows you the brew pressure in real time.
Its electronic PID temperature control keeps the brew temperature close to the target value, and the 38 mm conical burr grinder grinds fresh into the portafilter with stepless adjustment. Espresso is complex, but it is not rocket science – the coffee has to taste good to you. Our opinion is one of many.
