What Lelit got wrong (on purpose).

Every factory machine is a set of cost decisions. Here are the ones that hurt your shot - and the mod that fixes each.

Quality baskets, distributors, and bottomless portafilters are scarce.

Compromise

Single-hole steam wand

Weak steam for microfoam.

Mod: Multi-hole steam tip replacement + seal O-ring.
Compromise

Stock PID is basic

Holds temp but no profiling.
