• Tips And Tricks

  The Lelit Control Center (Lcc) Empowers You To Take Your Shots To The Next Level With A Host Of Customizable Variables. Below Is Quick Description Of Three Important Settings.

  • Pre-Infusion: Think Of The Pre-Infusion Setting As A Bloom Or Dwell Time. Time On Will Set How Long The Pump Initially Runs And Time Off Will Set The Bloom Or Dwell Time Before The Pump Resumes. During The Bloom Phase, Water Will Not Be Released From The Exhaust Solenoid.
  • Low Flow Start: This Setting Controls A Special 3 Position Solenoid Before The Brew Group. With Low Flow Start On, The Solenoid Will Open Halfway Resulting In A Softer Infusion Of Water To The Puck Before Fully Opening To Ramp Up Pressure.
  • Low Flow Final: The Inverse Of Low Flow Start, The Time On This Setting Will Close The Solenoid Partway To Reduce Flow For The Final Portion Of Shot Extraction.
