Who the Lelit PL72 and PL72-P William coffee grinder is made for

Grind size decides before the machine even starts.

The beans sit in the hopper, ground on demand. This is the faster way when the same variety is always running.

  1. 01 Small kitchens14 cm wide. The available space does not determine the technology.
  2. 02 For those looking for the exact pointStepless adjustment. You do not get stuck between two notches but hit the value in between.
  3. 03 64 mm burrsSmaller burrs require more revolutions for the same amount. For a few drinks a day this is negligible.
What's inside

The technology that matters for espresso.

On the machine

Grinder64 mm grinder

The diameter of the grinding burrs determines how many revolutions are needed for the same amount of coffee.

Burrsflat

What matters for the grinder

What matters for this grinder.

The numbers from the data sheet, in the order that matters. A faster grinder does not grind better, it only grinds more.

64 mm

Large burrs, cooler grounds

The larger the burrs, the fewer revolutions are needed for the same amount of coffee. The grounds heat up less, and heat in the ground coffee costs aroma. Installed are flat.

14 × 23 cm

This is how much space it needs

These are 322 square centimeters of counter that are permanently occupied. At 39 cm height you need space above it for refilling.

Grinder

Grinder typehopper grinders (on-demand grinders)

The beans sit in the hopper and are ground on demand. This is the faster way in everyday life, especially if the same coffee is used all the time. A full hopper, however, means that the beans at the bottom are exposed to the air for longer.

Grinder64 mm

The diameter of the grinding burrs determines how many revolutions are needed for the same amount of coffee. Larger burrs need fewer revolutions, the grind warms up less, and heat in the grind reduces aroma.

Burrsflat, 64 mm

Flat burrs grind with two parallel rings and deliver a tight particle size distribution. You do not recognize dull burrs by appearance but by the fact that the shot runs faster than usual.

Grind size adjustmentstepless, micrometric

The grinder grinds for a set time. That is quick for everyday use, but you have to readjust it when the bean changes or when the grind size changes, because then a different amount will flow in the same time.

Dosing and performance

Dosingtimed dose control

A large hopper means less frequent refilling. Bear in mind that beans age in it: anything that stays in the hopper for longer than a few days loses aroma, no matter how good the grinder is.

Wie verhält sich die PL72 bei feinsten Espresso-Mahlgraden, schaffen die flachen 64mm-Scheiben bei 1.390 U/min wirklich homogene Partikelverteilung ohne Hitzeeintrag?

Die 64mm-Scheiben aus gehärtetem Stahl mahlen bei 1.390 U/min langsam genug für feine Partikelverteilung ohne nennenswerten Hitzeeintrag. Die stufenlose, mikrometrische Verstellung gibt dir präzise Kontrolle für Single-Origin-Espressi. Was du bei diesem Scheibendurchmesser allerdings merken wirst: Bei helleren Röstungen auf Ristretto-Mahlgrad musst du mehr Zeit einplanen als bei einer 98mm-Mühle. Für klassische mittel- bis dunklere Espresso-Röstungen liefert die William konstante Ergebnisse, bei hellsten Filter-Röstungen würde ich dir eher zur Eureka Mignon Specialita oder einer Niche Zero raten.

Does the height-adjustable Hands-Free holder also fit 58mm portafilters with a shorter shaft, e.g. from the Lelit Bianca?

The stainless steel holder is height-adjustable and accommodates all common 58mm portafilters, including those with a shorter shaft like the Bianca or Elizabeth. The hands-free system securely clamps the portafilter, allowing you to adjust the dosage while grinding or use the WDT rake. The wide catch tray minimizes coffee grounds scattering around the portafilter. For shorter portafilters, simply lower the holder; the adjustment is tool-free.

Does the William fit the MaraX with its modified E61 brew group and the Xmode coffee?

Yes, the William is part of the VIP line and complements the MaraX perfectly. The MaraX provides stable brewing temperatures with the dual-probe PID and Xmode coffee, while the William delivers the precision in grind that you need for this. The 64-mm discs produce uniform particles, and the micrometric adjustment allows you fine-tuning for the narrow temperature window of the MaraX. The height-adjustable drip tray and hands-free holder fit directly onto the LELIT58 portafilter of the MaraX. This way, you achieve a seamless workflow without compromising on extraction control.

Ist die Lelit William für Espresso fein genug, oder brauche ich da eine andere Mühle?

Die William mahlt mit ihren 64 mm Stahlscheiben fein genug für Espresso. Du kannst den Mahlgrad stufenlos einstellen, am Drehknopf drehst du einfach so lange, bis dein Espresso in 25–30 Sekunden durchläuft. Für den Anfang: Start bei mittlerer Einstellung, dann Schritt für Schritt feiner, bis der Kaffee nicht mehr zu schnell durchschießt. Die Maschine schafft 1.390 Umdrehungen pro Minute, das reicht für gleichmäßiges Pulver ohne Überhitzung.

What does this timer on the William mean, do I have to stop the time every time?

No, the grinder does that for you. You set on the digital display how long it should grind, for example, 6 seconds for a double espresso. The next time, you just press the start button, and the grinder automatically stops after that time. You can use the Add/Stop button if you want to grind a little more or stop earlier. This way, you get the same amount of coffee grounds every time.

Passt die William unter meine Lelit Anna, oder ist die zu hoch?

Die William ist 39 cm hoch. Du mahlst direkt in den Siebträger, den du in die mitgelieferte Edelstahl-Halterung klemmst, die ist höhenverstellbar. Deine Anna stellst du daneben, nicht darüber. Der Auslauf der Mühle lässt sich so einstellen, dass das Pulver sauber in den Siebträger fällt, ohne dass du ihn die ganze Zeit festhalten musst. Die breite Auffangschale fängt Krümel auf.

Was bedeutet On-Demand bei der William, muss ich da jedes Mal manuell starten?

Ja, On-Demand heißt: Du startest die Mühle per Knopfdruck, sie mahlt die eingestellte Zeit und stoppt automatisch. Anders als beim Vollautomaten, der nach dem Knopfdruck alles selbst macht, mahlst du hier nur das Pulver, den Rest (Tampen, Brühen) machst du manuell an der Siebträgermaschine. Die William hat einen Add/Stop-Button, mit dem du die Mahlung nachjustieren oder vorzeitig abbrechen kannst. Das ist kein Automatik-Workflow, sondern händische Kontrolle über jeden Schritt.

Kann ich die William PL72 auch für Filterkaffee verwenden oder ist die nur für Espresso?

Die William PL72 mahlt sowohl für Espresso als auch für Filterkaffee. Du stellst den Mahlgrad stufenlos über den Drehknopf ein, fein für Espresso, gröber für Filter. Die 64mm-Mahlscheiben schaffen das problemlos. Wenn du hauptsächlich Filterkaffee trinkst und keine Siebträgermaschine hast, ist die William allerdings überdimensioniert. Für French Press oder Filterkaffeemaschine reicht eine einfachere Mühle völlig aus.
