Prices just reduced on the following machines...

Le'lit PL041 dual-purpose, single boiler espresso machine. Great travelling machine or good for a backup.

Fiorenzato Bricoletta HX tank model with vibration pump espresso machine. We just bought out some 'old' stock from the US-headquarters at reduced pricing and are passing this savings on to you. Machines do have the newer style multi-directional wands.

Sorry, prices too low to advertise here....

Wow! Are these new prices entirely, or special limited time offers you are running?

I'm considering buying a LeLit... Does anyone know if this machine can be PID'ed? And if so, if the Silvia kits will work on one?

Not sure about the silvia-specific PID kits, but I have seen a Lelit with a PID. There is info found http://www.pidkits.com/lelit.html There.

I was strongly considering the Lelit machine, as an alternative to the silvia, mostly to save some money and because of boiler location.. But then I decided to skip the single boiler upgrade step and go right to an HX... What Im getting at, is I thought it was a good choice with the old price.. Now its just a no brainer! Of course, YMMV.

I have been using a lelit with PID for the past four years.

It makes very good espresso and has been my main go to machine in the morning.
Basically because it heats up really fast. Its temp stable in just 10 minutes. The brass group head is actually the bottom part of the boiler.

With the PID, I get consistent inter shot temperatures.

Only thing though, the boiler is still smaller than the silvia's and intra shot temp will drop a few degrees. You got to program your PID to be more responsive to turn on the heat during pours to maintain temp.

Sorry for the delay as we have been very busy at 1st-line. These are specials limited to in-stock units. Once gone, the price will increase.
