Questions about Lelit Victoria

The heating time of the Lelit PL91T is approx. 5-7 minutes.

Manual. But a timer runs down from 25 seconds.

I use always the double one, The single one for me is to weak amount of coffee. At least I prefer always a double expresso if I am going to switch on the machine. The only thing I can recommend you to buy is the Lelit PLA580V Bottomless Portafilter + Normcore 58.5mm Puck Strainer. You will make expressos the proper way and you will feel like a real Barista.

The machine takes 4-6 minutes to warm up after switching on. After preparing an espresso, it is still at operating temperature and the next coffee can be pressed immediately. After about 30 minutes of rest, it goes into stand-by mode and then takes 3-4 minutes to return to operating temperature.

With me CH

Not with the supplied portafilter, as far as I know (but I haven't tried it out directly). I bought a suitable portafilter for this purpose, and it works: Lelit Classic portafilter 58mm pads (1 pc.)

Yes, this is the lelit victoria

According to the supplier, all 58mm portafilters of the Lelit fit on this machine.

The OPV (OverPressureValve) can be set to the desired value. (Unfortunately, the machine has to be opened for this). The factory sets it to 9-10 bar, but it varies somewhat from machine to machine.

The distance between the base of the cup and the bottom of the filter holder is 9.8 cm. If the opening of the cup is larger than 6cm, you can add 2cm to the height of the cup, knowing that the bottom of the filter holder will be in the cup.

It is a "double" tamper, approx. 57 mm, on the other side approx. 49 mm (e.g. to press on the conical single strainer half-full for the first time). The 58 Lelit Tamper Rosso with 58.55mm has a diameter that is 1-2 mm larger and is defhinitely more flush with the edge of the 58 sieve than the plastic tamper.
