I have a lelit victoria and was wondering if the Elizabeth is the same machine but with double boilers. Looking to upgrade maybe to Mara x or Elizabeth. Or keep the Victoria and be patient for froting my milk. Do you prefer the Marax or the Elizabeth. Thank you
I have not reviewed a Victoria but looking at the specification the brew side is similar. However there are probably some key differences in software, hardware and capability. If you read my extensive written review and links to the LCC and maintenance guides you will see where it's different. Then join us on the forum for a more detailed discussion. Links in the video descriptions.
Thank you for your response, very good and informative videos
Dave, after the 3 second low pressure shot. How long do you recommend that I rest before infusing 9 bars?
It depends, if it's just a passive bloom, you can wait from 8 to 12 seconds...if it's a steam preinfusion, probably between 5-7 sec.
Question for you - can you do pre-infusion with a manual shot? Or can you only do pre-infusion with a fully pre-programmed (infusion+brew) shot?
I'm not sure I understand? I haven't used my Elizabeth for over a year, it's been sitting in my collection. From memory, you can stop the shot any time, there isn't a manual option as such, just the ability to stop when you want by pressing the same button again.
Have there been any major updates since your review of the July 2020 model?? Any new features in the LCC? Do you know if the low flow and other features on the Bianca V3 could be ported over to the Elizabeth LCC?
No, I think it was modded to my request and is about as good as it can be.
@@DaveCorbeyI just got the Elizabeth should I still follow all your advanced setting changes?
I was excited getting this machine, when it arrived, the water tank had a leak so I got a replacement and after finally using it, I see red particles from the water spout, I flushed it at least 10 times and still red particles. Sending it back but not sure if I should get another one now :/
Not sure if shipping messed up something or Lelit QC is bad…water with red specks in your cup for 1200€ is a pretty bad
Never heard of that before?
@@DaveCorbey so I noticed in unboxing videos that others had a "electrical test report" paper with the warranty and manual, I did not see that paper in my box. Maybe my unit wasn't so new? I guess I'll get a new one next month and hope it's flawless
Can you get better than cafe level coffee with this? is it reliable?
Hi Dave, I'm researching to purchase my first espresso machine for home to mainly prepare steamed milk drinks for my wife and myself - mainly lattes and cappuccinos. Due to upper cabinets above my counter, I am limited to how deep a machine can be if I want to easily access/remove the water reservoir for many that have it in top loading in the rear. Naturally the Lelit Elizabeth intrigues me. I've been comparing the Elizabeth (as well as the Victoria and Glenda models) to other brands (Bezzera Hobby, ECM Casa v, Quick Mill Silvano, and some HX machines in the same price range as the Elizabeth). How does the Lelit build quality/craftsmanship compare to other well-known brands? Is the head group covering polished metal or chrome covered plastic? Thanks!
It's all metal, only plastic is the steam knob....nice build quality, but more important, a super clever and quiet machine. coffeeequipmentreviews.wordpress.com/2020/05/08/lelit-elizabeth/
Hi Dave, do you change the brew time when you make a longer pre-infusion?
Yes, U usually add the preinfusion on to the standard brew time, or most of it.
Regarding the Victoria vs the Elizabeth:
1) Can the Vitoria be made to count UP instead of down for the timer?
2) Can the pre-infusion time be adjusted on the Victoria as well?
I have not discovered how to do either of those things. Thanks!
I am afraid I know nothing about the Victoria...sorry.
Hello Dave, thanks for all your videos. Can I ask which scale you are using here? I’ve been wanting to get one with a similar form factor and aesthetics, but can’t seem to find it anywhere. Thanks!
The scale is no longer made. It went out of production 2 years ago.
Dave Corbey That’s sad. Thanks for your reply nevertheless. I’m still curious though - which brand is it?
It was made or branded by Smartweigh
I currently have a GCP modded with an Auber PID. How does this compare? I'm tempted to upgrade.
Way better in every department., if you have already upgraded, I guess you know that already by now. :)
@@DaveCorbey Yep. Got it in late February.
nice display of ability here. what watch is that?
I have a few, Probably my Christopher Ward C65. coffeeequipmentreviews.wordpress.com/2019/09/04/my-new-christopher-ward-c65/
hi dave..i am still dont uderstand about preinfusion when the boiler steam is off.thanks
It's more passive, just the limited pressure from the brew boiler (which will be very low).
Can you dose with 18g? Or is there a basket for this you recommend to get higher doses?
You can put 18 in, I just found 17 as the sweet spot for the coffees I was using. I wouldn't get too hung up on weight because some coffees are denser than others which affects fill level and thus weight in the basket. It's a bigger subject than a RUclips comment can cover. It's more a forum discussion thing.
@@DaveCorbey thanks will do. I was actually about to buy the mara X but thought maybe ring group was easier to maintain and faster to heat than e61 so saw the Silvia pro, but not sure on that, and now eyeing this one now instead!
@@chrisah1 This is quite an advanced machine and a proper dual boiler with PID temperature control, preinfusion etc..
Make sure you read the review, links are in the description and the two other sways linked to in the review covering maintenance and advanced LCC settings. It's also so quiet with the advanced pump system.
I noticed the manometer showing a brew pressure of 11 bar, isn't this very high?
I thought iit was just over 10, perhaps this video was before I adjusted it?
@@DaveCorbey Since the Manometer is accurate for brew pressure, your preference is the extract at 10 bar presume?
@@Casablancas. yes, I'm cool about 10 bar...
@@Casablancas. I'm surprised about this too.
All the Lelit machines are set to 11bar (including my Grace) despite all evidence suggesting 9bar or less is ideal
Good evening Dave.!
I have also a brand new Elizabeth ! I set preinfusion time at 8 sec but in 5 seconds coffee has allready start to come into the glass.
Do you know why is happening this ? Thanks a lot !
You probably need to grind finer
11 bar! 😉
Yeah, I reduced it a bit...but it's OK
Giant faff. I'm sticking to pour-overs.
