Another game changer from LelitThe Lelit Elizabeth Version 3 is a revised version with some important and great improvements. The machine is unchanged externally and the dimensions are the same but there have been improvements internally and to the Lelit Control Center. It still produces great shots and is a temperature stable machine with powerful steam without the use of large boilers. This is the first reservoir-only machine to have true preinfusion.

Another game changer from LelitThe Lelit Elizabeth Version 3 is a revised version with some important and great improvements. The machine is unchanged externally and the dimensions are the same but there have been improvements internally and to the Lelit Control Center. It still produces great shots and is a temperature stable machine with powerful steam without the use of large boilers. This is the first reservoir-only machine to have true preinfusion. When an espresso machine is connected to external water mains, there is a pressure exerted by the water which, on plumbed-in machines, is used to infuse the coffee puck with water from the coffee boiler under pressure prior to the extraction. The Lelit Elizabeth accomplishes this pressure by applying the pressure from the steam boiler to the coffee boiler and a very good software control system to facilitate this performance. This is groundbreaking!Another type of preinfusion, but not true preinfusion uses the coffee boiler to gently wet the puck for a user programmable time, stop the pump, and then continue with the shot. With this action, the coffee is then better able to take pressure without choking, allowing the use of a finer grind. This can extract more flavor from the coffee as the hot brew water sits in the coffee for a while before the extraction. Briefly, here are the V3 upgrades in both software control and internal hardware:V3 Lelit Control Center Software Upgrades Steam Boiler Disable (Economy mode): accomplished with the push of a single button on the LCC. Coffee boiler temperature: now goes up to 95 degrees C (203 degrees F). -Steam temperature: users can lower the temperature to 115 degrees C (239 degrees F) from 135 degrees C (275 degrees F) for low-pressure pre-infusion. Last Shot Protection: activated if the water stops coming out during an espresso shot. Users can finish performing the extraction. Extraction time: displayed on the LCC for 20 seconds at the end of the shot (like Lelit Bianca V2). Real temperature display: display of coffee extraction temperature and steam temperature is visible. Automatic purge: an automatic cooling flush that will let users have an ideal temperature for extraction programmable from one to six seconds (factory set at five). Coffee blooming 1 and 2: works in Phase 1 of preinfusion (with the steam boiler on) by adding water from the brew boiler (under pressure) to improve the temperature of the preinfusion for the espresso extraction. The coffee blooming function can go from 1 to 10 seconds (3 or 4 is best). The coffee blooming function turns on automatically when making a coffee with the preinfusion programmed. Pump blooming 1 and 2: preinfusion with the steam boiler off. Users can add water from the brew boiler (no pressure) while using the pump. The pump blooming function can go from 1 to 10 seconds (3 or 4 is best). The pump blooming function turns on automatically when making a coffee with the steam boiler off and this function on. V3 Internal Upgrades New cross fitting: now a metal cross fitting rather than a plastic one Large brass expansion valve improved and relocated above the brew boiler for ease of brew pressure adjustment venting back to water tank New anti-vacuum valve: plastic pipette is is used to direct water from the anti-vacuum valve to the drip tray New temperature probe and level probe Replacement of old vibration pump with new ultra quiet pump with a more gradual pressure ramp as used in Lelit Mara X For a complete independent take of this machine, see the review by Dave Corbey, a respected espresso enthusiast from the UK. ----------------------------------------------- The Lelit Elizabeth PL92T - Version 2 is a compact double boiler machine that is loaded with features to make entertaining easy. If you are a real cappuccino lover and looking for a compact espresso machine with a short warm-up time, then the Lelit Elizabeth is the perfect solution. Many machines with heat exchanger or dual boiler have a warm-up time of about 20 minutes. The Lelit Elizabeth needs only 10 minutes to get to temperature. Thanks to the double boiler for water and steam, Lelit Elizabeth PL92T is the pinnacle for those who want the highest level espresso and endless steam for a creamy cappuccino without compromise. This latest version now has 2 safety thermostats and an upgraded steam knob. Features: LCC (Lelit Control Center) - the brain of the Victoria espresso machine. It controls all the functions of the machine via the graphic LCD display and allows you to adjust the settings, as well as giving valuable tips on how to achieve the best results. LCC lets you manage a number of settings in your machine: The temperature of the coffee and hot water dispensed The temperature of the steam dispensed The ideal time taken to dispense the coffee for single and double doses Enabling/disabling of pre-infusion parameters Two separate boilers - the brass coffee boiler has a capacity of 10 ounces and the stainless steel steam boiler measures 20 ounces. By using two separate boilers you immediately have steam available for a delicious cappuccino. The steam pipe is double-walled. As a result, the milk does not cake after foaming. Both boilers are controlled by the LCC for optimum temperature stability. If you do not use the steam function for a day, you can simply switch off the steam boiler of the Lelit PL92T. Compact stainless steel body only 10.6 inches deep 3-way solenoid valve – dries the coffee puck 3 safety thermostats - for coffee, for steam, and security 58 mm chrome plated brass portafilter with new Lelit ergonomic handle Graphic indication for lack of water in the tank Possibility to cut off the steam boiler only LCD high resolution graphic display Removable 2.6 quart water reservoir Particle filter – to protect the machine from any unseen particles from entering the boiler.

Water reservoir capacity - 2.6 quarts refillable from top Coffee boiler capacity: 10 ounces Steam boiler capacity: 20 ounces Portafilter diameter: 58 mm Notes: Lack of water in the internal boiler, not just the water reservoir, can damage the heating element – these cases are not handled under warranty as this is not a defect of the machine. Customer should watch the water intake hose when starting for the first time to insure water is being drawn in. If not, customer should stop machine immediately and notify us by email. It is strongly recommended that you acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher to avoid electrical damage to the power switch, the electronics, the heating element, the pressurstat or the wiring inside. Any damage to these components are not considered a manufacturer's defect. To increase the useful life of and not damage your espresso machine, you should be using softened water. Softened water is water without calcium and magnesium, but still has other minerals for espresso extraction. Do not use distilled water, purified water, nor reverse osmosis water as these waters create oxidation with the metals and cause the same damaging effects as limescale. We do not recommend descaling this machine unless there is an issue with the espresso machine. Too much descaling can eat away at the metals and gaskets inside an espresso machine hastening replacement. Heavy Metals Migration: The upper part of the boiler, is made of CW510L alloy (OT57-free-lead brass), having the 0,2% max. of lead (value within the limits approved according to the DIN 50930-6 regulations), and the lower part is made ofOT58 brass but a chrome surface processing (Stecrhome type- NSF regulation conformity) is performed, to reduce the lead migration. The fittings are in brass with nickel treatment, and the s. valves are made of brass OT58 – “CW617N”. split_here Lelit Elizabeth User Manual pdf Dave Corbey's LCC Quick Reference Guide for Lelit Elizabeth V3 pdf
