PL53 Espresso Grinder

Bottom Line - Best bang for your buck.

"I couldn't be more pleased.... The double pull started at about 6 seconds and was like warm honey. It took about 20 seconds and was at least 50% crema. The flavor was smooth and rich. I know I have a lot of optimizing to do and look forward to fine tuning the grind settings and tamp pressures. But what a start. You know, this Le'Lit setup is exactly what I wanted."
-Chuck



• Stainless steel coffee grinder.
• Conical Grinding Burrs
• Small footprint.
• Near-Infinite Stepless Adjustment

FAQ:
Lelit PL53 espresso coffee grindersQ:
I CAN NOT steam with the single hole tip. I've tried everything and fail miserably every time. HELP!

A: The stock tip is an acorn nut with a single hole. By redirecting the steam, steaming seems to be easier for most users. This is done by reducing the size of the holes and their orientation.

We're offering an upgraded steam tip that does just this. The overall outlet size is reduced and distributed across 3 holes, rather than one.

This *should* make steaming easier, more controllable and produce a better "roll".

For anyone curious, it IS the tip from the Elektra Microcasa a Leva.

Comments:
Just to prevent any possible rumors, we are NOT clearing out any PL041 inventory for the PL051 model made by Le'Lit. We will continue to carry the PL041 until noted otherwise.
We will not be carrying the PL051 machine as we do not like the switches placed on this machine, plus the fact that there is no three-way solenoid valve (good to have as this allows the user to immediately remove the portafilter right after turning off the coffee switch).
This also applies for the PL041EM.
