The Queen has Arrived :
Having two separate boilers, one for steam and hot water and the other for coffee, the balance and accuracy on the Elizabeth is nothing short of impeccable. A system designed for higher thermal stability and to deliver coffee and steam simultaneously, with a reduced heating (and recovery) time. She operates an extraordinarily silent vibratory pump that supplies a saturated group head and behaves all in accordance with the built-in PID.
The LELIT electronic control system (LCC) with the OLED graphic display allows setting up the subtle fancies she flaunts like pre-infusion time, brewing time (better known as "volumetric" or "fully automatic" - a rare offering on domestic machines), automatic purge, and temperature units. On the Elizabeth, it's actually possible to set an automatic cleaning cycle for general cleaning of the group, set a stand-by time, and even disable the steam boiler should the user decide to go savvy.
The display also automatically shows the extraction (shot) time as well as brew, hot water, and steam temperatures - keeping the barista in the loop through any mode the machine finds itself pacing through. Moreover, it indicates an upcoming shortage of water in the tank and automatically activates the "Reserve mode"- saving your shot of espresso irrespective.

100% worth it. This machine really punches well above its weight. I look forward to making my coffee as much as I do to drinking it, and this machine amplifies my joy. It's not the prettiest in my opinion, but I get my pretty elsewhere. The steam or bloom pre-infusion options aren't useless options nor just advertising hype. They're great. This one's a no-brainer. Just say BismiLlah and buy 🤭
