What owners say
Checked Oct 15, 2026Too few owner reviews to judge. In our score this is 1.75 of 2 points. How we score
- Owners who have run the Anna for 3–6 years describe it as simple and repairable: 4 r/espresso owner comments (Mar–Aug 2026) report years of use with no parts replaced or only small ones. The Anna has no Amazon listing from Lelit, so there is no star rating to cite. reddit.com
- The steam valve is the most repeated owner fault: 4 of 487 r/espresso posts and comments we read from Oct 2024 to Oct 2026 describe a stiffening steam knob, a wand leaking water, a tap rod broken inside the valve on a 4-year-old machine, or a wand gasket that needs frequent replacement; one owner also says steam pressure is modest. reddit.com
- Heating: 2 owners report a boiler that stopped reaching temperature within 6 months and a temperature that keeps climbing (Mar 2025, Jul 2026); a third traced slow heat-up to scale from hard water rather than a defect. reddit.com
- Leaks and pump: 2 owners report leaks at the base of the boiler or from the wand, and 2 report a slow-starting or replaced pump (2025–2026). Each theme stays below our threshold of 3 mentions on 2 sites. reddit.com
“I've had a used PL41TEM for 3 years, and it's running wonderfully. It's a machine, not an appliance, meaning that everything can be taken apart and repaired or replaced.”
“suddenly my lelit anna has stopped working, it never gets hot enough and I’m not sure what to do. I’ve had this machine for less than 6 months.”
“I have the Lelit Anna with PID since 2020. It's a compact and solid machine.”
“my four-year-old espresso machine stopped making cappuccino because it seems the tap rod broke off inside the steam valve.”
“The only downside to my machine is that I frequently have to replace the steamwand's rubber ring but maybe I am cleaning it too aggressively.”
“It still pulls shots and steams without any problems so I opened it up and there's a small leak around the base of the boiler when I engage the pump.”
