Le'Lit PL53 Espresso Coffee Grinders

Overview:

The only all stainless steel, polished body, doserless, conical burr espresso grinder with stepless adjustment for under $300.00. Can we say more? This grinder was designed for grinding for espresso only. Although it can be used for other coffee brewing methods, the turning of the knob on the stepless adjustment can be cumbersome to rotate many times for different brew methods. When we say many times, we mean hundreds of rotations. This is why we recommend the grinder be utilized for one brew method only - espresso.

Features:

• The powerful 150-watt motor is engaged through the use of a microswitch that you can press your portafilter right up against and get freshly ground coffee directly into your portafilter.
• Stepless adjustment allow you to fine tune your grind for the perfect espresso grind
• Conical burrs with the larger burr outside diameter size measured at 38mm
• Burrs made of hardened steel
• Approximate tinted plastic bean hopper capacity: 300 grams (10 ounces)
• Bean hopper can easily be removed for hand cleaning (not dishwasher safe)
• Standard 110 volt outlet comes out from back of unit
• Compact size makes it even a great grinder for travelling!
• Chute on front is removable for cleaning
• Accessories included: removable stainless steel catch tray and instructional sheet
• For household use only. Commercial use will deem this product as non-returnable and will void the warranty
• Warranty: One year parts and labor limited to manufacturer's defect only and handled by 1st-line Equipment, LLC

Specifications:

• Weight: 5.8 pounds
• bean hopper capacity: 250 grams
• Made in Italy
• Dimensions: 12 3/8" H x ~5" W (including knob) x 8 3/8" D (including lower catch tray)
• Without tray, depth is 6 7/8"
• Power: 110/120 volts only, 150 watts, 60 Hz
• Warning: Be careful to not allow the burrs to touch and lock up the grinding burrs. This will not be covered under warranty.
• Warning: The grinder should be turned on and running when changing settings more than 3 knob rotations. The reason is that the grinds can strick to the burrs - especially when turning the knob finer.

Notes:
1. The Le'Lit PL53 is designed for espresso grinding ONLY. It will not grind beans for long coffee. Try Baratza if you are looking for a home grinder for both espresso and regular coffee.
2. The doserless chute ont he lelit PL53 grinder can be a challenge to place back on after removal. The chute needs to be held extremely firm against the body, and sometimes the screw needs to be positioned at a slight angle when inserted and tightened.
3. The Le'Lit PL53 comes factory set 4 fill rotations finer than necessary. We recommend turning the knob 4 full rotations coarser before using it for the first time.
