Powering Hundreds of Businesses Including:

You eventually reach a point where your technique outpaces your equipment, and the inconsistencies in your cup become impossible to ignore. The Lelit William fills that space, replacing entry-level guesswork with the kind of uniformity only 64mm flat burrs can provide. It turns the daily ritual of dialing in from a frustrating variable into a predictable, mechanical exercise. Now you can finally hear what the coffee is trying to tell you.

Product Features

Micrometric Grind Adjustment

Uses micrometric gear movement with a numbered 1–10 dial that rotates in half-step increments and allows multiple full revolutions for fine tuning. That stepped, repeatable range gives you precise, trackable changes when dialing in shots.

64mm Flat Burrs

Houses 64mm flat steel burrs that deliver a consistent particle distribution at a throughput of about 2.5 g/sec. The large-diameter burrs and steady output make the William suitable for high-precision home setups or light commercial use where repeatable extraction matters.

Programmable Timed Grinding

Programmable Timed Grinding via the circular OLED lets you set single and double doses (programmable between 2 and 20 seconds) and adjust timing to 1/10th of a second. The +/- controls and clear display make batch dosing consistent and easy to reproduce.

On-Demand Grinding

Includes an Add/Stop button and a microswitch behind the chute for on-demand or timed operation, plus a manual start/stop next to the grind adjustment to tease out final grinds. This combination provides both hands-free dosing and direct control when you need to intervene.

Tamper Stand & Adjustable Chute

Features a built-in platform to rest your tamper and an adjustable top pin and chute to accommodate different portafilter shapes and angles. Those small ergonomics speed workflow and improve consistency across varied equipment.

12.3 oz Sealed Hopper

The integrated hopper holds up to 12.3 oz of beans and is sealed with a heavy metal lid to help preserve freshness between pulls. The sizeable capacity reduces refills during busy sessions while keeping beans protected.

The Coffeeionado Take

Who's It For:

  • Home Baristas Ready to Step Up — If your current grinder is holding back your espresso, the 64mm flat hardened steel burrs and stepless micrometric adjustment offer the precision to actually taste the difference
  • Enthusiasts Who Value Convenience — Programmable dosing means one less variable to manage. Set your target, pull the shot, repeat
  • Italian-Made Purists — Manufactured in Italy with the build quality that implies. For those who value proven engineering pedigree

It's Right For You If:

  • You want prosumer-grade grinding with 64mm flat hardened steel burrs large enough to produce uniform particles without excessive heat — the kind of consistency that shows up in the cup.
  • The stepless grind adjustment gives you infinite control over particle size, so you can chase that perfect extraction without being locked into preset steps.

Things to Consider:

  • At 6.6kg, it's light enough to move around but solid enough not to walk across the counter during grinding.
  • The 350g hopper is small by design — great for freshness if you go through a bag a week, but you'll be refilling often if you entertain or drink a lot of coffee.

Our Take:

The Lelit William Espresso Grinder is a well-built prosumer grinder with 64mm flat hardened steel burrs that punch above their size class. A solid choice for home baristas who want café-quality espresso without café-sized equipment.

William Espresso Grinder PL72 by Lelit

The Lelit William PL72 is a quality home or office espresso machine designed to be powerful and easy to use. Its 600 watt motor and 64 mm flat burrs works very fast to grind a single or double dose. The adjustable screw that you can hook your portafilter to allows for hands-free operation and makes the machine generally easy to use.

Manual or electronic dosing, you decide

The Lelit William PL72 lets you choose your dosing preference, whether manual or electronic, it got you. For a continuous manual grind, all you need do is press and hold the button on the left of the grind adjustment dial. For on-demand grind, a single tap on the plate above the portafilter forks gives you a single dose while double tapping it gives you a double dose, as easy as that. The on-demand grinding is time based and adjustable.

Programmable parameters

You can manage all the grinding parameters on the Lelit William via the Lelit Control Center (LCC) available on the machine. The OLED graphic display allows you program grinding time for single or double doses.

Powerful and durable

This machine is a combination of excellent performance and quality design, encased in a polished stainless steel body. It is equipped with powerful features that will have your espresso grind ready in seconds.

Product FAQ

Is the Lelit William Espresso Grinder stepless, and how fine can it grind for espresso?

Yes. The Lelit William is a stepless grinder, which means you can make infinitely small adjustments within its range rather than being limited to fixed steps. It can grind fine enough for standard commercial-style espresso baskets and can be dialed in precisely for different beans and recipes.

Can the Lelit William grind for both espresso and filter coffee, or is it espresso-only?

The Lelit William is optimized for espresso and performs best in the fine-to-medium range. You can adjust it coarser for moka pot and some manual brew methods, but if your primary use is drip, pour-over, or French press, a dedicated brew grinder will usually give more consistent results at those coarser settings.

What type and size of burrs does the Lelit William Espresso Grinder use?

The Lelit William uses flat, hardened steel burrs in the 64 mm range (varies slightly by sub-model). These are commercial-style burrs designed to produce a consistent, fluffy grind suitable for espresso and to maintain alignment and sharpness over time.

How long do the burrs last, and how often will I need to replace them?

Burr life depends on usage, roast level, and cleaning habits, but for typical home espresso use you can expect several years of performance before noticing dullness—often around 500–750 pounds (225–340 kg) of coffee. Heavy use, very dark roasts, or poor cleaning may shorten that window. Most home users replace burrs anywhere from every 3–7 years. Always refer to the manual for replacement guidance and signs of wear (slower grinding, more fines, difficulty dialing in).

Is the Lelit William suitable for home use only, or can it handle light commercial or office environments?

The Lelit William is primarily designed as a prosumer/home grinder with performance that can handle multiple back-to-back drinks. It’s best suited for home kitchens, small offices with moderate coffee volume, or low-volume environments where it won’t be run nonstop for hours like a large café grinder would be.

Does the grinder fit under standard U.S. kitchen cabinets?

Most U.S. kitchen cabinets are mounted about 17–18 inches above the counter. The Lelit William stands about 15.2 inches tall, so it fits comfortably under most standard cabinets, though you may need to slide it out to refill the hopper.

Does the Lelit William support hands-free grinding and what portafilter sizes does it accept?

Yes. The Lelit William includes a portafilter fork designed for hands-free grinding: you can lock your portafilter in place and let the grinder run without holding it. The fork is intended for standard 58 mm portafilters and can usually be adjusted to accommodate many 57–58 mm portafilters from common home and prosumer espresso machines.

Does it offer timed or manual dosing, and is it a grind-by-weight grinder?

The Lelit William is not a grind-by-weight grinder. It uses electronic timed dosing, allowing you to program shot times (for single and double doses) so it stops automatically once the set time is reached. It also offers manual grinding mode if you prefer to start and stop the grinder yourself for more flexible dosing.

No, we don't ship to PO boxes. Due to the size and weight of our equipment, we require delivery to a physical address where our carriers can safely drop off your order.

How does free installation work?

We want to make your purchase as smooth as possible and will pay the installation via rebate on commercial espresso machines. This includes commercial machines with more than 1 group head and 220V.

If the certified installer needed is over 1.5 hours away then we will pay for the installation call (and install up to the value suggested on page minus call fee). Travel will be paid by customer. Inquire if you have any questions about your location.


Please note, any discounts subject to void the paid installation offer.

At Coffeeionado, professional installation is included with qualifying espresso machine purchases. Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible — from coordinating the technician to getting your machine up and running on day one.


Which Machines Qualify

Free professional installation is included with all espresso machines of 2 groups or more where indicated on the product listing. This policy applies to espresso machines only and does not cover other coffee equipment such as grinders, brewers, or accessories.

If you are unsure whether your machine qualifies, contact us before purchasing and we'll confirm.


What's Included

  • Travel and labor costs for installation within the technician's service area (up to 2 hours of travel)
  • Setup, basic programming, and commissioning of the equipment
  • Scheduling during regular business hours, Monday through Friday
  • Associated taxes and fees related to the installation itself

Installation must be completed within 30 days of delivery of the equipment. The installation benefit lapses after this window and cannot be reinstated.


How Installation Is Arranged

Depending on your purchase, installation is handled one of two ways:

Arranged directly — In many cases, Coffeeionado or the manufacturer will coordinate and pay the technician on your behalf. We will contact you after your order is processed to schedule the visit.

Reimbursement — In some cases, you may be asked to arrange the installation locally using an authorized technician and submit a rebate form for reimbursement. Once approved, the covered amount will be refunded to the original payment method used for your order.

We will confirm which arrangement applies to your purchase at the time of order confirmation. If you have questions before purchasing, contact us and we'll walk you through it.


What's Not Included

The following are outside the scope of the installation policy and remain the customer's responsibility:

  • Travel or callout costs beyond the first 2 hours of the technician's travel time — if your location falls outside the local service area, the overage is your responsibility
  • Water filtration systems and installation materials — including plumbing fittings, tubing, plugs, outlets, and any other ancillary components required to prepare the site
  • Electrical or plumbing work — site preparation must be completed before the technician arrives
  • Training on equipment operation — installation covers commissioning only, not barista or operational training
  • False start or callout fees if the technician arrives and the site is not ready for installation

Important: If a technician arrives and cannot complete the installation because the site is unprepared, you will be responsible for any callout or false start fee charged by the technician. However, your installation benefit remains intact — the visit will be rescheduled at no additional cost to your policy.


Water Filtration Requirement

Water filtration must be installed and operational before or at the time of installation. This is not optional — operating a commercial espresso machine without proper filtration will void the manufacturer's warranty. If filtration is not in place at the time of the technician's visit, installation may need to be rescheduled and the callout fee will be your responsibility.

If you need guidance on water filtration requirements for your machine, contact us before scheduling your installation.


Service Area

Installation coverage is tied to the manufacturer's authorized technician service area, generally within a 1.5-hour radius of the nearest certified technician. If your location falls outside this area, Coffeeionado will make reasonable efforts to arrange a local authorized technician, but travel costs beyond the 2-hour coverage limit remain your responsibility.

Not sure if you're in a service area? Contact us before purchasing and we'll check your location.


After Installation

Once your machine is installed, we'll provide referrals for authorized service technicians in your area for ongoing maintenance and repairs. Coffeeionado offers lifetime support on all equipment we sell — we're here long after the install is done.


Governing Terms

This installation policy forms part of your agreement with Coffeeionado and is subject to our Terms of Sale and Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict, the Terms of Service governs.

Can I pick up the machine at your store?

We do not have a showroom or storefront for customer pickups, so orders cannot be picked up directly from us. That said, there is an exception for La Spaziale and La Pavoni products, you can contact us to arrange.

However, if you'd prefer, we can arrange to have your machine shipped to a local freight terminal/location for pickup instead. Let us know your city/state (or ZIP code), and we’d be happy to check the nearest terminal options for you.
