Lelit Kate PL82T Espresso Machine

The Lelit Kate PL82T is an all-in-one domestic espresso machine produced by Lelit, an Italian brand renowned for manufacturing professional-grade espresso equipment and garment care products.

Lelit was founded in Castegnato (Brescia), Italy, in the 1980s by the Edoardo Rossi family under Gemme Italian Producers Srl. Lelit espresso machines are celebrated for combining traditional Italian espresso craftsmanship with modern electronic control features, such as integrated PID systems and built-in grinders.

In 2022, Australian small appliance conglomerate Breville Group acquired Lelit (via its Italian parent Gemme Italian Producers Srl) to expand its global specialty coffee portfolio alongside brands like Baratza. Despite the change in ownership, Lelit continues to design, engineer, and manufacture its espresso machines in Italy.
