Lelit Kate PL82T Home Espresso Machine with Built-In Grinder
Lelit Kate - Premium Home Espresso Machine with Integrated Grinder
The Lelit Kate (PL82T) is an all-in-one espresso machine with built-in grinder, designed for home baristas who want genuine café-quality results without dedicating half their kitchen to equipment.
Built in Italy, the Kate houses a professional 38mm conical burr grinder inside a compact brushed stainless steel body. Grind settings are adjusted via a micrometric stepless side knob - the kind of precise, stepless control you'd find on standalone grinders costing considerably more. Programmable grinding times for single and double doses are managed through the LELIT Control Centre (LCC), activated with a single push.
The machine runs a LELIT58 commercial group head - the same 58mm standard used across Lelit's professional range - ensuring compatibility with a wide range of barista accessories and portafilters. A brass boiler (300ml) and vibratory pump maintain consistent extraction, while a 3-way solenoid valve leaves a dry puck for easy cleaning.
The LCC OLED display shows real-time coffee, steam, and hot water temperatures alongside brewing time, and enables preinfusion for improved extraction of lighter roasts. A back-lit manometer makes pressure monitoring straightforward - the green zone at 8–12 bar is your target. The 2.5L water tank includes a Reserve mode alert so you're never caught short mid-shot.
Kate works particularly well with Ozone's espresso range, where the stepless grind adjustment lets you explore the full flavour range. Pair it with a compatible grinder accessory or VST precision basket (compatible with the LELIT58 group) for even more extraction consistency. If you're new to home espresso, our brew guides cover dialling in espresso step by step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Lelit Kate an all-in-one espresso machine with built-in grinder?
Yes. The Lelit Kate (PL82T) combines a professional espresso machine with a 38mm conical burr grinder in a single compact unit. Grinding times for single and double doses are programmable via the LELIT Control Centre (LCC), so you go from beans to espresso without a separate grinder.
Does the Lelit Kate have a built-in grinder?
Yes. It features 38mm conical burrs with micrometric stepless adjustment via a side knob. Grind fineness and dose times for single and double shots are controlled through the LCC.
Can I adjust the temperature and preinfusion settings?
Yes. The LCC OLED display lets you set coffee, steam, and hot water temperatures independently, activate preinfusion, and configure standby and automatic cleaning cycles.
What is the LELIT Control Centre (LCC)?
The LCC is the machine's electronic control system. It manages temperature settings, brewing time display, preinfusion, low water alerts, and programmable standby and cleaning cycles — all via a high-resolution OLED display.
How do I know if my extraction pressure is correct?
The Kate has a back-lit manometer on the front panel that shows real-time extraction pressure. The green zone between 8 and 12 bar indicates you're in the optimal brewing range.
What size portafilter does the Lelit Kate use?
The Kate uses the LELIT58 commercial group head, which takes standard 58mm portafilters. This is the same size used across most professional and prosumer espresso machines, so accessories are widely available.
How large is the water tank?
The water tank holds 2.5 litres. A smart alert system activates "Reserve mode" when the level runs low so you're warned before it affects your shot.
Is the steam wand suitable for milk frothing?
Yes. The anti-burn steam wand is multidirectional and designed for steaming and frothing milk to café standard. It also dispenses hot water for Americanos and tea.
What accessories are included with the Lelit Kate?
In the box: LELIT58 filterholder with Coffee Slide spout, IMS precision filters (single dose 9–11g, double dose 14–18g, blind filter), tamper, coffee scoop, 35L water softener filter, and cup rack.
Is the Lelit Kate suitable for beginners?
It's an intermediate-to-advanced machine with a learnable interface. The built-in grinder removes one major variable, and the LCC display makes temperature and timing visible. Beginners who want to develop their skills will find it rewarding — our espresso brew guide is a good starting point.
What coffee works best with the Lelit Kate?
The stepless grind adjustment makes it versatile across roast levels. It performs well with medium-roast espresso blends where you want sweetness and balance, and the preinfusion feature helps with lighter single-origin espressos. Browse Ozone's espresso range for recommendations.
