FIT & SETUP
What needs to fit before you buy
A quick read of the published footprint, power, access, and workflow boundaries. Unknown is a useful answer here.

Editorial fitWorkflow
Separate grinder required; manual milk workflow
Workflow summary comes from the source record; it is not a hands-on speed or ease test.

57mm
Published basket size; accessories and handle clearance can still vary.
Record basis: Lelit checked 2026-08-02. This is a specification record, not a physical fit test.
DECISION RECEIPT
The case for this record
Why it fits
Strongest match for compact PID control, hands-on espresso, buyers accepting a 57mm ecosystem.
Main tradeoff
The 57mm accessory ecosystem is less common than 54mm or 58mm, and a single boiler requires switching between brewing and steaming.

KNOWN LIMITATIONS
What the record cannot prove
- No numeric portafilter-sweep or refill clearance is published.
- The commerce and engineering identifiers are both preserved to prevent revision drift.
Published specifications do not prove taste, noise, durability, thermal stability, mess, or real-world speed. Those require a documented physical test.
