Hello, no, it's not possible to upgrade it. We thank you for your comment which we will take into consideration for future projects. Thank you, LELIT Team
Seems like a pretty good machine. Although, I'm not really crazy about drawing hot water from the steam wand. Would have been nice if it had a separate spout for hot water. This is a feature in machines that are a lot cheaper than this one so I'm surprised that this machine is lacking this feature. If I got this machine, I'd probably grab hot water from the kettle before drawing it from the steam wand. Auto purge for the steam wand would have also been another nice feature. I do realize these extras would raise the price!
Hi, Thanks for your feedback. We think that the Kate machine has a lot important features as the built in grinder, the LCC display (to set the pre-infusion, the coffee and steam temperature, the grinding times), the portafilter 58mm size, with a special coffee slide spout, and the body completely in stainless steel. For space reason, we have designed the machine without a dedicated hot water outlet that in a coffee machine is not a so significant feature. Anyway we have other models, dual boiler with this feature included.
Lelit Espresso Please don't get me wrong, I think this machine is great and it's at the top of my list right now. I also realize that it's hard to incorporate too many features and it's a trade off sometimes. I probably would draw hot water from a kettle anyway, but that doesn't lessen my interest in this machine. I'm in the final stages of my decision and checking out a couple of other models before I decide what I'm going with. It's strange because my two top choice are the Kate and the Breville Oracle which are vastly different machines. Thanks for the feedback.
Hello, you should have a Kate with the new software version which is equipped with the chronometer instead of the countdown. You can find a leaflet in the packaging of the product which explains the update of the software features. Thank you, LELIT Team
Hello, thank you for using a LELIT Kate. Please note that LELIT doesn't have 2 holes nozzle for the steam wand of this machine model. Thank you, LELIT Team
Hello Kyrie, we kindly ask you to send us an email to care@lelit.com attaching your product data label which you find on the backside of your machine. We'll support you from there. thank you, LELIT Team
@@LELIT_Official This incomprehensible inconvenience was the reason for my request.I usually use optimally ground coffee powder and then it would be useful if I could also automatically set the duration of my preferred brewing time.
Hi, it depends on the filter/basket you are using, the standard 2 cups filter takes up to 18 gr, if your use the plus version you can use up to 21 gr of coffee for a double shot. Take care!
@@heavyarmsofsteel Oh I love it. The only drawback is the grinder level switch, which has no scale and is kind of a wheel of fortune. But if you don't change coffee often, it's no big deal. You will find the right level, it just takes a little longer. If you can get it with a discount around € 600 it's definitely a deal!
@@LELIT_Official Is there any information about the retention of the build in grinder available? I know the Fred retention is about 2 gramms, but the William is virtually zero. But what about this one?
Hi, please contact your reseller to unblock the grinder or send an e-mail to care@lelit.com indicating the serial number of your machine. Thank you! LELIT Team
This machine looks good qnd I think it is good. But lelit please hire normal professional baristas in your videos. For example that latte art on cappucino doesnt looks like heart. You should brew espresso first because if you first steam your milk by the time that espresso wil be brewed the milk is gonna lose its perfect texture
Hello, we are sorry you are not happy with the steam part on your Kate. We suggest you to watch this video to see if you can find any tips to help you froth the milk better th-cam.com/video/xGYaUj4yS0c/w-d-xo.html. Thank you, LELIT Team
ive got a Lelit Anna myself and i love it, cant wait to upgrade to one of these
where did you buy? There are not too many dealers in the US. I wonder why?
@@gosman949 www.1st-line.com/buy/lelit-pl41tem-anna-pid-espresso-machine/
got this at home, its really good.
Hi! Regarding the grinder: is it easy to clean /change the burrs ?
Can't belive the PL82T comes without "brewing stops when timer ends" fuction like the PL92T do... possible to "upgrade" this?

Hi, could you tell me please , I don't have a countdown in the Kate menu , how to switch it on?

Can I change the steam's one hole spout with a multiple hole spout? Seems so hard to create microfoam with one hole
Hello, thank you for using a LELIT Kate. Please note that LELIT doesn't have 2 holes nozzle for the steam wand of this machine model. Thank you, LELIT Team
Wait... How did you program brewing countdown for 25 secs on Kate? 🤔

Самая лучшая эспрессо-машина для дома!
Думаю себе такую купить!
Buonasera, è possibile programmare i secondi della preinfusione? nel menù alla voce preinfusione c'è solo ON/OFF...grazie mille
Buongiorno, La informiamo che questo modello ha solo l'impostazione di preinfusione ON / OFF. Grazie, LELIT Team
What can I find also in the box? Beside the machine
Hi, the machine is delivered with: 1, 2 cups filters, blind filter, 35 l resin filter, steam tip with 2 holes Ø1
Why does the maschine does not stop automatically after the count down?
Hello, LELIT Kate does not stop automatically, you need to end the shot manually, by pressing the relative button. Thank you! LELIT team
The idea is to tune your shots as you like.

@@maschallah5169 Hello, thank you for your feed back. We will take your suggestion into consideration for the next machines. Take care, LELIT Team
Upgrade the software to automatically stop brewing one or two cups.
Hello Yanis, thank you for your comment. We will take it into consideration in case of future updates. Thank you, LELIT Team
Only 15 gram for double shot? Can I put 19?
Hi, it depends on the filter/basket you are using, the standard 2 cups filter takes up to 18 gr, if your use the plus version you can use up to 21 gr of coffee for a double shot. Take care!
Is it possible to plug it into an electronic time programmer?
It's ok to use the machine with a smart plug.
Which single grinder and espresso machine is this combined of or at least comparable to?
Hi Kackb00n, KATE is a combination of the VICTORIA PL91T coffee machine and a revised version of the the FRED PL044MMT grinder. Take care, LELIT Team
@@LELIT_Official Thanks a lot for those informations!
I just ordered mine and hope it brings the world of tasty espresso to my home 😊
