A PID-controlled single boiler for $550 undercuts most other PID machines in our catalog by several hundred dollars, at the cost of a less common 57mm portafilter standard.

Weighted from published specs — grinder capability, boiler performance, portafilter standard, build materials and price-to-feature ratio. Not a taste or performance test.
Lelit's Anna PL41TEM brings PID temperature control — normally seen on pricier machines like the Profitec Go 2.0 — down to $550. The trade-off is portafilter size: 57mm is less common than 54mm or 58mm, which narrows aftermarket basket and tamper options somewhat. It ships without a grinder, in line with every other PID-controlled machine in this catalog.

Compare it against the Profitec Go 2.0 →It's a less widely adopted size, so fewer third-party baskets, tampers and portafilters are made for it than for the two more common standards.
It mainly shows up over several consecutive shots — a PID-controlled boiler holds its set temperature more tightly than a thermostat-only boiler, which can drift between shots.
