Lelit Elizabeth Shots With Preinfusion

Hello Dave, thanks for all your videos. Can I ask which scale you are using here? I’ve been wanting to get one with a similar form factor and aesthetics, but can’t seem to find it anywhere. Thanks!

Can you dose with 18g? Or is there a basket for this you recommend to get higher doses?

I have a lelit victoria and was wondering if the Elizabeth is the same machine but with double boilers. Looking to upgrade maybe to Mara x or Elizabeth. Or keep the Victoria and be patient for froting my milk. Do you prefer the Marax or the Elizabeth. Thank you

Hi Dave, do you change the brew time when you make a longer pre-infusion?

Good evening Dave.!
I have also a brand new Elizabeth ! I set preinfusion time at 8 sec but in 5 seconds coffee has allready start to come into the glass.
Do you know why is happening this ? Thanks a lot !

I noticed the manometer showing a brew pressure of 11 bar, isn't this very high?

hi dave..i am still dont uderstand about preinfusion when the boiler steam is off.thanks

11 bar! 😉

Hi Dave, I'm researching to purchase my first espresso machine for home to mainly prepare steamed milk drinks for my wife and myself - mainly lattes and cappuccinos. Due to upper cabinets above my counter, I am limited to how deep a machine can be if I want to easily access/remove the water reservoir for many that have it in top loading in the rear. Naturally the Lelit Elizabeth intrigues me. I've been comparing the Elizabeth (as well as the Victoria and Glenda models) to other brands (Bezzera Hobby, ECM Casa v, Quick Mill Silvano, and some HX machines in the same price range as the Elizabeth). How does the Lelit build quality/craftsmanship compare to other well-known brands? Is the head group covering polished metal or chrome covered plastic? Thanks!

nice display of ability here. what watch is that?

Regarding the Victoria vs the Elizabeth:
1) Can the Vitoria be made to count UP instead of down for the timer?
2) Can the pre-infusion time be adjusted on the Victoria as well?

I have not discovered how to do either of those things. Thanks!

I currently have a GCP modded with an Auber PID. How does this compare? I'm tempted to upgrade.

Have there been any major updates since your review of the July 2020 model?? Any new features in the LCC? Do you know if the low flow and other features on the Bianca V3 could be ported over to the Elizabeth LCC?

Dave, after the 3 second low pressure shot. How long do you recommend that I rest before infusing 9 bars?

Question for you - can you do pre-infusion with a manual shot? Or can you only do pre-infusion with a fully pre-programmed (infusion+brew) shot?

I was excited getting this machine, when it arrived, the water tank had a leak so I got a replacement and after finally using it, I see red particles from the water spout, I flushed it at least 10 times and still red particles. Sending it back but not sure if I should get another one now :/
Not sure if shipping messed up something or Lelit QC is bad…water with red specks in your cup for 1200€ is a pretty bad

Giant faff. I'm sticking to pour-overs.

Can you get better than cafe level coffee with this? is it reliable?
