The Lelit Anna 2 (the newest version of the Lelit Anna series) is a high-quality, Italian-made espresso machine and is one of the best home espresso machines for easily preparing espressos and cappuccinos like a real professional barista. This machine is recommended for intermediate to advanced coffee makers.
The Anna 2 has a 3-way solenoid valve so that the group handle can be immediately removed after brewing. This valve also allows the machine to be backflushed.
With Lelit machines, you’ll be able to enjoy the flavour of an Italian breakfast every time you want - whether you are brewing for yourself, your family, your friends or whether you are making an espresso, a cappuccino, an American coffee, or a Latte macchiato. Make your coffee just like a real barista.
The Lelit Anna 2 has a built-in brew pressure gauge, showing you whether the brewing pressure is optimal (too little pressure leads to under-extraction, whereas too much pressure leads to over-extraction). The gauge also shows when maximum pressure is reached while backflushing - so you know when to turn the pump off.
One of the most important differences between the Anna 2 and the older Anna is the improved steam strength. This makes all the difference when trying to achieve silky, creamy milk for cafe quality flat whites, lattes, and cappuccinos.
The Anna 2 has a 15 bar pump. This ensures an optimal brew pressure and prevents bitter coffee from resulting from a high brew pressure. It also has a factory-installed PID, which is key for temperature stability. The PID dynamically interacts with the brass boiler in order to keep the chosen extraction temperature (we usually recommend 96-97°C) as stable as possible.

"The machine arrived on time and in perfecto condition."
"A significant improvement over my basic espresso maker. Love the simplicity, and function, and of course the great espresso! The PID is really helpful, the kind of thing you didn't know existed but now couldn't live without"
"I already have this machine at another family property. Bought the second one to replace the Gaggia Classic Pro. I love the streamer, the PID, the adjustable OPV valve. Everything except the proprietary portafilter size is perfect in this machine. It's not a big deal though, all necessary accessories are available at a more or less reasonable price on a AliExpress."
"Amazing machine — I love the pressure display!"
"We upgraded from a BBE and after a little dialling in this machine perfectly meets our needs for daily milk drinks and espresso. We shopped around quite a bit and determined this combo to be the best bang for your buck and it really seems that it is. The only bummer is that the Porta filter is a 57 mm instead of the industry standard 58Mm which makes finding accessories very difficult and the ones that you do find are much more expensive than the 58 mm ones. We also got a free gift with our purchase of a leveled and tamper, but it was 58 mm so unusable. my bad I guess I should’ve checked."

"Pretty machine. Moved from Gaggia Classic to this. Still miss the Gaggia. I'd say invest in an excellent grinder, that seems to have made a bigger difference for me. But the Leliet is pretty."
"The quality of metalwork is questionable, the water lid is sharp I pity the people who actually use it as intended. I installed a RO line to fill them tank so I fortunately don't need to touch it again. The porta filter fits too tightly, it gets never after the first 50 cups or do. The pressure release valve is set to 8 bars. This contradicts the manual which states that the machine is able to reach much higher pressure when the ground size is too small. Also this means that the machine can only operate at the very lowest point of the green pressure scale. The adjustment of the temperature to ensure that the temperature at the head is 95 is needed but is not described in any official documentation. The fonts on the front panel are inconsistent, a disaster from graphics design perspective. Still a reasonably priced machine that will hopefully last a long time, with a PID and a pressure gauge out of the box. By the way, the 57.5mm porta filter is just a horrible thing to do, I don't understand why. Is that some weird money grab for accessories? I just don't get it."
"Great machine for the price! Easy to use. I love it."
"Machine is great. Brand New, spotless. Coffee taste really good. I use glass cup and you can see the body, heart and crema forming. Good shots. Like another person was saying, I also had problem priming it the first time, just be aware of that. (The pump does not like running empty.) Buying and shipping was very good, clean, efficient. The SMS interface... automatic( robot) I found not so intuitive, but I'm an older person?. Price is great, although I just missed the free tamper promotion 😭 Anything you can do? I'd happily pay for the shipping. Have a nice day"
