Lelit Elizabeth

A genuinely compact dual boiler with a 0.6L steam boiler, programmable shot timer, and a cool-touch steam wand, priced almost identically to the Silvia Pro X. The Elizabeth's LELIT58 group is Lelit's own design, similar in spirit to Rancilio's, not the universal E61 standard, and its steam boiler is smaller than the Pro X's, meaning less back-to-back milk-drink capacity.

Buy This If

You want programmable shot timing and pre-infusion, features the Silvia Pro X doesn't offer
You're comparing dual-boiler machines specifically around the $1,800 mark and want Lelit's take on the format
You mostly drink straight espresso with milk drinks occasionally, not back-to-back

Consider Something Else If

You steam milk constantly, the Pro X's 1L steam boiler outsizes the Elizabeth's 0.6L
You want the longest base warranty in this tier, Elizabeth ships with 1 year standard versus longer terms elsewhere
