If you’re a dedicated home barista but constrained by kitchen space, the Lelit Kate truly stands out. It elegantly merges a high-quality espresso machine with a built-in grinder - delivering professional-grade espresso without hogging your countertop.
A Space-Saving All-in-One Design
The Kate integrates a 38 mm conical burr grinder directly into the machine, ensuring fresh grinding on demand with micrometric (stepless) precision. This streamlined layout eliminates the need for separate equipment, helping you maintain an organised and efficient coffee corner.
Precision and Control with the Lelit LCC System
The Lelit Control Centre (LCC) gives you the tools to fine-tune your coffee exactly the way you like it. Through the intuitive OLED display, you can monitor brewing temperature, steam temperature, shot time, and water-tank status.
You also have access to programmable grinding times and pre-infusion, allowing for consistent, repeatable results - a valuable asset for anyone developing their espresso technique.
What Makes the Lelit Kate Stand Out
- Built-in workflow efficiency – Designed to streamline your routine from grinding to brewing, making your morning coffee faster and more convenient.
- Generous 2.5 L water tank – Larger than many compact machines, allowing multiple drinks without frequent refills — ideal for busy households.
- Easy maintenance features – A three-way solenoid valve ensures dry coffee pucks for effortless disposal, while cleaning access is straightforward.
- Energy-conscious operation – Includes standby functionality to help reduce energy consumption during periods of inactivity.
-
Stable, smooth performance – Engineered for reliable operation with reduced vibration, offering a quieter and more pleasant brewing experience.
