Note regarding Lelit machines with built-in grinder:

With Lelit portafilter machines featuring an integrated grinder, it is possible that coffee residue may be found inside the machine or in the box when opening the package. This is completely normal and does not indicate that the machine has been used.

Background: At the factory, every machine is tested with real coffee beans to ensure the quality of the grinder and the extraction. During this process, beans are ground that cannot be completely removed due to the large dead space in the grinder. Even though the machines are cleaned afterward, tiny amounts of ground coffee remain.

We do not open any packages—you will, of course, receive brand-new items in their original packaging. During shipping, vibrations may cause residues to loosen and spread inside the box.

And yes—sometimes we get the feeling that the delivery services are playing a round of soccer with the packages along the way 😉. We understand the frustration—no matter which shipping provider was chosen. Where people work, mistakes happen—intentional or not (without wanting to accuse anyone of anything).

We maintain close communication with the delivery services, take every complaint seriously, and, of course, pass on feedback.

Our promise regarding excessive coffee residue:

If your delivery is unusually dirty, please let us know. Please send us photos of the packaging and the machine immediately upon receipt.

After reviewing the issue, we’ll send you a free package of high-quality coffee beans as a small gesture of goodwill.

Note: This goodwill policy applies only to significant, documented residue. Please understand that a blanket credit cannot be issued without proof.

Frequently Asked Questions

I bought a new coffee grinder from Naturbohne and there are coffee residues in it.

Please note: Some manufacturers test their coffee grinders before shipping, which means that small coffee residues or bean residues can occasionally be found in the grinder. This procedure is used to test functionality and is considered a quality feature. Of course, we only sell new products - unless expressly stated otherwise.

Static charge – coffee grounds spray out from the side

With some coffee grinders, the ground coffee can become statically charged and spray out of the portafilter at the side. This means that not all of the ground coffee gets into the portafilter, which can lead to uneven extraction. Our recommendation: Use a dosing funnel to ensure that all of the ground coffee is precisely fed into the portafilter - for optimal espresso enjoyment.

What is dead space in coffee grinders?

Conventional coffee grinders often leave a so-called dead space in which coffee residues accumulate. These residues can not only affect the freshness, but also lead to old and fresh coffee grounds being mixed, which negatively affects the taste. In contrast, single dose grinders have a well-thought-out design that eliminates the dead space. Each portion is ground individually and precisely so that no residues are left behind - for a consistently pure and full-bodied coffee experience.

Which portafilter fits my espresso machine?

When choosing the right portafilter for your portafilter machine, it is important to know that each manufacturer develops its own brewing group - the most well-known is the Faema E61. However, this does not mean that any portafilter will fit without any problems. An incompatible portafilter can leak, which will have a direct negative impact on the quality of your espresso. We therefore recommend using either the portafilter originally supplied or one that is explicitly stated to be compatible with your machine. This will ensure that the pressure is optimally built up and the espresso is perfectly extracted.

Can I visit you or pick up the goods personally?

Yes, of course, you are welcome to come by and look at our products by appointment. We would be happy to advise you personally. The best thing to do is to send us an email with a few suggested appointment times.

We are located 5 minutes from the motorway between Stuttgart and Lake Constance on the edge of the Black Forest.

Important note, first use coffee grinders

Another little tip for the perfect start with your new mill:

You will get the best grinding result after you have ground about 1-2 kg of beans. It is best to use a few cheap beans so that the grinder can work optimally. And if you are wondering what you can do with the bean flour - it is perfect plant fertilizer! 🌿

It contains nitrogen, potassium, sulfur and phosphorus and is a real nutrient bomb for your plants.

Podem efetuar uma calibração de desvio na minha máquina de porta-filtros?

Existem alguns argumentos contra a calibração offset para as máquinas de porta-filtros Lelit, especialmente para modelos como a Lelit Bianca. Estes argumentos prendem-se principalmente com a complexidade e as limitações do offset como única solução para os problemas de temperatura:

  1. Flutuações de temperatura e instabilidade. O offset tem em conta uma diferença constante entre a temperatura da caldeira e a temperatura de fabrico da cerveja. Na prática, porém, podem ocorrer flutuações de temperatura, por exemplo, devido a tempos de repouso mais longos ou ao fabrico contínuo de cerveja. Como resultado, a temperatura real de fermentação nem sempre pode ser prevista com precisão.
  2. Dependência das condições ambientais. Factores como a temperatura ambiente, a humidade e o estado da máquina (por exemplo, o tempo de aquecimento) têm uma influência significativa na temperatura de infusão. Um desvio fixo não pode compensar dinamicamente estas variáveis, o que pode levar a resultados inexactos.
  3. Perda de calor durante os tempos de paragem. Após pausas mais longas, o grupo de cerveja arrefece e a máquina precisa de tempo para voltar à temperatura desejada. Um offset corretamente ajustado não pode compensar este facto, pelo que são necessárias medidas adicionais como um "cooling flush".
  4. Calibrações de fábrica incorrectas. Em alguns modelos Lelit, verificou-se que a compensação de fábrica é frequentemente definida de forma incorrecta (por exemplo, 4-8 graus demasiado baixos na Lelit Bianca). Isto requer uma recalibração manual por pessoal especializado, o que pode ser complicado para os utilizadores finais.
  5. Mal-entendidos na aplicação. Muitos utilizadores ficam confusos com informações contraditórias sobre a definição do desvio, o que pode levar a ajustes incorrectos. Por exemplo, muitas vezes espera-se que o offset por si só resolva todos os problemas de temperatura, embora seja apenas uma parte de um sistema mais complexo.

Conclusão
A calibração do desvio é uma ferramenta útil, mas não deve ser considerada isoladamente. É necessária uma combinação de controlo preciso do PID, manutenção regular e técnicas personalizadas (por exemplo, injecções de enxaguamento) para obter os melhores resultados de fabrico de cerveja.
