Low flow
The design of the paddle is a LELIT invention implemented in the semi-profes-
sional machines for domestic use.
It is a handle placed on the brewing group that can rotate 200°. While rotating,
it gradually increases or decreases the water ow inside the brewing group,
enabling the highest, manual personalization of every single phase of the coffee
extraction. The water ow, hence, the pressure, can be changed in every mo-
ment of the coffee delivery, until the lever is lowered.
This gives the possibility to get the best out of every coffee blend, managing the
main palate sensations of body, acidity, bitterness, and astringency according
to the different tastes and to your personality. The LELIT user is thus able to
make the most of the characteristics of each coffee type, even the most prized
mono-origin blends, that will express themselves at the best in their fullness.
In the LCC, you can nd two parameters that manage the water ow, hence the
pressure, during coffee brewing:
Low ow start: This value refers to the time slot from the beginning of the brew-
ing process up until the set value.
Low ow nal: This value refers to the time slot from the set value up until the
end of the brewing process.
Low ow and Pre-infusion can be combined to follow the most complex brew-
ing prole. Below, you can see how the water ow changes according to the set
parameters and the extraction time.
Attention. The graphs below show examples of extraction with NO paddle
action.
