If you want one machine that does it all – grinding, brewing, steaming and programming – the Lelit Kate is designed for you. It combines the performance of the Victoria with a high-quality integrated grinder, offering the ultimate all-in-one espresso solution for the home.
Espresso Meets Grinder, Upgraded
The Kate uses the same 300 ml brass boiler and 58 mm commercial group head as the Victoria, but adds a built-in 38 mm conical burr grinder with a generous 350 g hopper. This gives you the convenience of grinding directly into the portafilter, with full control over grind size.
Like the Victoria, it features the Lelit Control Centre (LCC) – an OLED display that allows you to adjust shot temperature, pre-infusion time, and programme shot lengths. Together, these features provide a level of control that rivals café equipment.
Why the Kate is Worth Considering
The Lelit Kate is designed to solve multiple pain points for home baristas:
-
All-in-one setup: Machine and grinder combined into one unit.
-
Programmable precision: Full digital controls ensure repeatable results.
-
Professional compatibility: 58 mm group head means easy use of commercial accessories.
-
Streamlined design: One machine instead of two reduces clutter and simplifies workflow.
Who Should Choose the Lelit Kate?
The Kate is best suited for:
-
Intermediate and advanced home baristas who want power and convenience.
-
Coffee lovers with limited counter space but high expectations.
-
Households where multiple people use the same machine and value consistent programmability.
It is heavier and larger than the other Lelit models, but for those who want everything in one machine, it is hard to beat.
Conclusion
The Lelit Kate is the complete home espresso solution. With its integrated grinder, digital controls, and 58 mm commercial group head, it offers café-level performance in a single package. If you want serious control, fresh-ground coffee, and the convenience of an all-in-one design, the Kate is a machine that deserves a place in your kitchen.
