Lelit Kate Home Espresso Machine

The perfect union of form and function.

The Lelit Kate PL82T is a beautifully engineered all-in-one espresso solution that combines a high-performance espresso machine with a professional-grade grinder, all housed in a compact brushed stainless steel body. Designed and manufactured in Italy, Kate is ideal for home baristas who want to elevate their coffee experience without sacrificing space or style. Its commercial-grade LELIT58 group head ensures consistent extraction, while the integrated grinder - featuring 38mm conical burrs and micrometric stepless adjustment - delivers precise dosing and grind quality. The grinder is seamlessly controlled via the LELIT Control Centre (LCC), allowing you to program grinding times for single and double shots, activated with a simple push. The OLED display also tracks total dose count, giving you full visibility and control over your coffee routine.

At the heart of Kate’s functionality is the LELIT Control Centre (LCC), a sophisticated electronic system that puts advanced features at your fingertips. The high-resolution OLED display shows real-time coffee, steam, and hot water temperatures, as well as extraction time. It enables preinfusion, automatic cleaning cycles, and programmable standby mode in compliance with CEI EN 50564 energy standards. A back-lit manometer provides visual feedback on extraction pressure, helping you dial in your shots with precision - the green zone between 8 and 12 bar indicates optimal brewing conditions. Kate also features a 2.5L water tank with a smart alert system that activates “Reserve mode” when water runs low, ensuring uninterrupted performance. With its thoughtful design and powerful internals, Kate is a true centrepiece for any home coffee setup.
