## Specifications

- Lelit Anna (PL41TEM) (57mm portafilter) — https://espressofit.com/machines/lelit-anna/

## Notes

A distribution tool levels the grounds **before** you tamp. Coffee falls out of
a grinder in clumps and mounds, and tamping a mound just produces a dense side
and a loose side — which is where channelling starts. Normcore's gravity
distributor uses a **5-blade** base that you rest on the bed and turn; its own
weight does the work rather than you pressing down.

Anodised aluminium and stainless steel. The 57.5mm size is offered in the
standard finish only — the Titanium PVD option is limited to the other sizes.

## Why 57.5mm for a 57mm machine

The blades have to turn *inside* the basket, so the tool is always cut slightly
under the nominal portafilter figure. Normcore offers 51, 53.3, **57.5**, 58 and
58.5mm, and its "57mm Fits Lelit" collection states the products in it are
"built to a 57mm portafilter diameter and fits Lelit 57 Group espresso
machines" — the [Lelit Anna](/machines/lelit-anna/) in this database.

Use it before the [LELIT57 tamper](/parts/lelit-lelit57-tamper/), and consider
the [57.5mm puck screen](/parts/normcore-ultra-slim-puck-screen-57-5mm/) on top
of the puck afterwards.
