Lelit Anita エスプレッソマシン

Took me a few shots to dial in the grind, but once I found the sweet spot the espresso has that thick, syrupy crema I used to only get at my local café. The fact that it’s all one compact Italian-made unit means my counter actually has room for a milk pitcher now.

The built-in grinder is a huge space saver, and the dosing directly into the portafilter keeps things tidy. Pulling a proper shot with real crema at home feels like a genuine upgrade from my old setup. It's compact enough for my tiny counter but still feels solid and well-made, not flimsy. The comb

Took me a while to dial in the grind with the built-in grinder, but once I did, the shots have been consistently thick with crema. The compact footprint fits perfectly on my counter, and having everything in one unit means less cleanup between pulls. Definitely feels like a solid Italian workhorse.
