Lelit Anita PL042TEMD Espresso Machine with Built-In Grinder

Grind fresh. Brew better. All in one.

The Lelit Anita PL042TEMD is a compact, Italian-made single boiler espresso machine with an integrated conical burr grinder - everything you need to go from whole beans to café-quality espresso without cluttering your countertop. The built-in grinder features 38mm conical steel burrs with stepless micrometric adjustment, so you can fine-tune your grind for any coffee. Its brushed stainless steel body brings a touch of Italian elegance to your kitchen, while the TermoPID temperature control system gives you the thermal precision needed for consistently excellent extractions.

Whether you're pulling a morning single shot or crafting silky flat whites, the Anita delivers. The three-way solenoid valve ensures a dry, clean coffee puck after every brew, and the front-mounted pressure gauge provides real-time feedback so you can dial in your shots with confidence. A multi-directional steam wand produces the kind of dense, glossy microfoam that makes latte art possible, and the 2.7-litre water tank means you can brew and steam through a busy morning without constantly refilling.

As a single boiler machine, the Anita uses one brass boiler (250ml) for both brewing and steaming. The PID controller manages the transition between brew and steam temperatures accurately and efficiently, making this a much more refined experience than traditional single boiler machines without PID control. If you've been eyeing the Lelit Anna but want the convenience of an integrated grinder, the Anita is the natural step up - delivering the same build quality and thermal stability with the added benefit of fresh grinding on demand.

Key Features

• Integrated 38mm Conical Burr Grinder
  Stepless micrometric adjustment via the side knob for precise grind control. Grinds directly into the portafilter via the grinding fork for a streamlined workflow.

• TermoPID Temperature Control
  Digital PID system manages both brew and steam temperatures, allowing you to fine-tune extraction for different coffee origins and roast profiles.

• Three-Way Solenoid Valve
  Releases pressure from the group head after brewing, leaving a dry coffee puck that's easy to knock out and keeping the group clean.

• Pressure Gauge (Manometer)
  Real-time extraction pressure feedback. The green zone indicates optimal brewing pressure, helping you refine your grind, dose, and tamp.

• LELIT57 Grouphead
  57mm brass group head, compatible with all LELIT57 portafilters, baskets, and accessories.

• Multi-Directional Steam Wand
  Powerful enough for dense microfoam suitable for latte art. Ideal for lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, and cortados.

• Compact All-in-One Design
  At just 27cm wide, the Anita combines machine and grinder in a single unit, saving valuable counter space without compromising on quality.

• Cup Warmer
  Top-mounted passive cup warmer keeps your cups at serving temperature.

• Water Level Windows
  Side and front viewing panels for easy monitoring without removing the tank.

Who It's For

The Lelit Anita is built for coffee lovers who want a tidy, capable home espresso setup without buying a separate grinder. If you're stepping up from a basic machine - or downsizing from a larger setup - the Anita offers remarkable value. The PID control and pressure gauge give you the feedback and consistency that entry-level machines lack, while the integrated grinder means fresh grounds for every shot with minimal fuss. It's a particularly good fit if counter space is at a premium and you want one well-made appliance rather than two.

Pair it with freshly roasted single origin coffees or one of our house blends for the best results. New to espresso? Our brew guides can help you get started.

Does the Lelit Anita have PID temperature control?

Yes. The Anita PL042TEMD features Lelit's TermoPID system, which gives you digital control over both brew and steam temperatures for consistent extractions.

What size portafilter does the Lelit Anita use?

The Anita uses a 57mm LELIT57 portafilter. It's compatible with all LELIT57 baskets and accessories.

Is the Lelit Anita good for beginners?

Absolutely. The all-in-one design means you don't need to buy a separate grinder, and the pressure gauge and PID make it easier to learn what good extraction looks and feels like. The steam wand is also forgiving for those learning to texture milk.

What's the difference between the Lelit Anna and the Lelit Anita?

Both are single boiler machines with PID control and the LELIT57 group head. The key difference is that the Anita includes a built-in conical burr grinder, while the Anna requires a separate grinder. If you already own a good grinder, the Anna is the more compact option. If you want everything in one unit, the Anita is the better choice.

Can I use coffee pods with the Lelit Anita?

Yes. The Anita comes with an ESE pod filter basket, so you can use standard 44mm ESE coffee pods as well as freshly ground coffee.

Does the Lelit Anita have a solenoid valve?

Yes. A three-way solenoid valve releases pressure after brewing, leaving a dry puck and cleaner group head.
