What sets the Lelit PL042 Anita TEMD apart from its siblings?

The same product line, different configurations. The rows come from the same data sheet that appears further below.

Same for all: Construction, Group head, Flow control, Boiler volume, Boiler material

Construction
single boiler
Group head
Lelit 57 mm group head

The E61 was introduced in 1961 and has remained the reference point since. A thermosiphon keeps it at temperature continuously, instead of you having to search for it before each shot. You can get seals, shower screens and portafilters for it from specialty dealers, not just the manufacturer.

Temperature control
yes

A PID control continuously measures the temperature and regulates the heater accordingly, instead of simply switching it on and off at a threshold. The difference does not show in the first espresso of the day but in the third in a row: the machine hits the same point again.

Preinfusion
no
Flow control
no

With Flow Control you manually control how quickly the water runs through the coffee grounds: start slowly, then increase pressure. That takes the edge off acidic beans and gives you an extra adjustment. Without Flow Control the extraction runs at a fixed pressure, and that is enough for most recipes.

Boiler volume
Thermoblock
Boiler material
aluminum

Aluminum is light and warms up quickly, which is why it is used in compact machines. As a result, the machine is ready for use earlier than one with a heavy brass boiler.

Water connection
water tank

With a tank the machine does not need a water connection and can be placed anywhere there is a power outlet. For that you have to refill, and the water quality is in your hands: filtered or soft water reduces descaling.

Steam power
normal
Extraction
manual
Pump type
vibration pump

The vibration pump is the most common type for home use: compact, affordable, reliable. It is audible, namely for the duration of the extraction, about half a minute.

Cup warmer
yes

The top surface of the machine is warmed by residual heat. A prewarmed cup draws less heat from the espresso, and those last degrees decide whether it still tastes the same in the glass as in the cup.

Standby
no

The machine switches itself off after a set time or goes into a low-power state. That saves electricity when you turn it on in the morning and then forget about it during the day. Without standby it stays on until you switch it off.

Portafilter diameter
57 mm

58 millimeters is the most common size. Baskets, tampers, levelers and distributors are available for it from many manufacturers, so you are not tied to an unusual size or a single supplier.

Who the Lelit PL042 Anita TEMD is made for

Classic portafilter technology, without detours.

One boiler serves brewing and steaming sequentially. For espresso that is completely sufficient; if you want milk, switch over and wait briefly.

  1. 01 For those who seek the temperaturePID control instead of on and off at a threshold. Lighter coffee needs different values than darker coffee, and here you set them.
  2. 02 Morning rushReady after 10 minutes. No timer needed.
  3. 03 57 mm portafilterA unique size, not the common 58 mm. There are baskets and tampers for it, but the selection is smaller; pay attention to the specification when choosing accessories.

Useful accessories

The parts you really need

Wiedecent Tamper V6 58.35 mm Wiedecent Tamper V6 58.35 mm

The tamper supplied with most machines is made of plastic. A properly fitting tamper fills the portafilter basket to the edge, and it is exactly there that you find out whether the water will flow through evenly.

Brewing group brush with wooden handle Brewing group brush with wooden handle

Run it through the brew group once a day, two minutes of work. Without that, coffee oils build up on the shower screen and the extraction becomes uneven long before you taste it.

PULY Caff Powder NSF PULY Caff Powder NSF

Backflush with a blind basket every one to two weeks. This removes the coffee oils from the group head and valve that the water jet does not reach.

Was unterscheidet die Lelit PL042 Anita TEMD (PID) Siebträgermaschine mit integrierter Mühle von der Lelit PL042 Anita EM Siebträgermaschine mit integrierter Mühle?

Die Lelit PL042 Anita TEMD (PID) und die Lelit PL042 Anita EM unterscheiden sich hauptsächlich durch die integrierte PID-Temperaturkontrolle in der TEMD. Diese Funktion ermöglicht eine präzisere Einstellung der Brühtemperatur, was zu einer optimalen Espresso-Extraktion führt. Zudem bietet die TEMD eine hochwertigere Verarbeitung mit Edelstahlgehäuse und einer verbesserten Dampfdüse, während die EM in diesen Bereichen nicht ganz das gleiche Niveau hat. So sorgt die TEMD für eine noch bessere Benutzererfahrung beim Kaffeezubereiten.

Should I buy the Lelit PL042 Anita TEMD (PID) espresso machine with integrated grinder or the Lelit PL042 Anita EMI espresso machine with integrated grinder?

The Lelit PL042 Anita TEMD (PID) is a good fit for you if you like to adjust the brew temperature via PID control. This is helpful for precise control during espresso extractions. The model features a stainless steel housing and a steam wand for milk frothing. If you decide you want more control over the temperature, I recommend the PL042 Anita TEMD.

How stable does the PL042TEMD maintain the brewing temperature during multiple extractions in a row?

The PL042TEMD operates with an aluminum thermoblock. For two to three espresso shots in a row, the brewing temperature remains stable enough for consistent flavor. Longer sessions with six or more espressos benefit from a model with a separate steam boiler. For the home barista's daily routine with two to four drinks per session, the temperature management is practical.

How does the PL042TEMD differ technically from the PL042EM, is the PID upgrade worth the price?

The PL042TEMD controls the brewing temperature digitally via PID. This provides you with consistent results when making espresso. The PL042EM relies on a classic thermostat, which can lead to temperature fluctuations and temperature surfing. The TEMD features stainless steel toggle switches instead of chrome buttons and a better controllable steam wand. For reproducible shots, especially with light roasts, I clearly recommend the TEMD model with PID. The extra cost is worth it if consistency in the cup is important to you.

How stable does the PL042TEMD maintain the brewing temperature over multiple extractions, is the PID sufficient for light filter coffee roasts?

The PL042TEMD operates with PID control and an aluminum thermoblock. For single shots, it maintains a stable temperature. For multiple quick shots, a system like that of the Mara X is designed to be more consistent, especially for light filter coffee roasts. The Mara X offers better temperature stability and repeatable results with its heat exchanger and XMode coffee recipe.

Wie unterscheidet sich die TEMD von der einfachen EM-Variante, lohnt sich der Aufpreis für Specialty-Anwendungen?

Der Hauptunterschied ist die PID-Temperaturkontrolle. Die EM arbeitet ohne PID, die Kesseltemperatur schwankt stärker, du musst klassisches Temperatursurfen betreiben. Die TEMD hat TermoPID für Brüh- und Dampftemperatur, hält die Zieltemperatur deutlich konstanter und hat eine hochwertigere Edelstahl-Verarbeitung inklusive verbesserter Dampflanze. Für Specialty-Kaffee, wo 2–3 Grad Temperaturunterschied die Extraktion messbar verändern, ist das PID entscheidend. Ohne PID schmeckt derselbe Shot je nach Standzeit unterschiedlich, bei sensiblen hellen Röstungen unpraktikabel. Der Aufpreis lohnt sich, wenn dir Reproduzierbarkeit wichtig ist.

How much space do I need for the Anita?

The Anita requires 31.5 cm in width, 25.5 cm in depth, and 37 cm in height. Plan for about 60 cm of countertop space so that cups, scale, and knock box can fit comfortably. You can pull out the 2.7-liter water tank from the side, which works well with at least 5 cm of clearance from the wall. The heating time is around 12 to 14 minutes before the temperature is right. In small kitchens, space will be tight; 31.5 x 25.5 cm is the minimum size.

What is the difference between the Anita TEMD and the EM?

The TEMD has a PID temperature control, which keeps the brewing temperature constant and gives you consistent flavor. The EM regulates the temperature only mechanically, which fluctuates more. Additionally, the TEMD has a stainless steel housing and a better steam wand for milk frothing. The EM is cheaper but less precise. If you value reproducible results, choose the TEMD. For occasional espresso without high demands, the EM is sufficient.

Tolles Gerät

Für uns war die Lelit der seit Jahren erwogene Einstieg in den Siebträger und der Abschied vom Vollautomat. Wir sind sehr happy, hätten wir früher machen sollen. Die Lelit in der Kombi Siebträger + Mühle ist ein sehr gutes Gerät.
