Lelit Bianca. For the true home barista
The Bianca is Lelit’s flagship dual boiler machine, and it’s designed for serious coffee lovers. With its iconic E61 group head, external wooden flow control paddle, and precise PID temperature control, you can customise every variable of your shot. This means you can experiment with pressure profiling and pre-infusion just like a professional. It’s built for those who want full control, consistent excellence, and stunning design in one beautiful machine..
Lelit Victoria. Stylish, smart, and programmable
This prosumer model steps things up with an OLED LCC panel, letting you programme pre‑infusion, set steam and brew temperatures to the degree, track shot and steam times, and enjoy auto‑purge between steaming and brewing. It’s like having a barista’s know‑how built right in. A brilliant choice if you want control, consistency, and flair.
Lelit MaraX HX. For milk‑based drinks lovers
Compact but mighty, the MaraX is powered by a heat‑exchanger (HX) system that lets you steam and brew simultaneously, no juggling needed. It’s whisper‑quiet and offers excellent thermal stability thanks to an E61 group head and clever temperature regulation. Plus, a fast 10–15‑minute heat‑up fits neatly into your morning routine.

Lelit keeps its heritage Italian DNA intact, maintaining independence, leadership, and engineering at the heart of every machine.
At Small Batch, we're all about celebrating the craft, and know that the right machine can let our coffee sing. Lelit machines share that ethos, working seamlessly with our specialty coffee to create incredible tasting espresso pours. Whether you're starting simple with the Anna, embracing control with the Victoria, or chasing silky milk‑based routines with the MaraX, each machine equips you to bring out the best taste in your coffee, right at home.
