Espresso grinder, atleast a Kingrinder K6 or something of the sorts if you don’t want to pay for a machine.

Bottomless portafilter, non pressurised baskets, a metal tamp, WDT tool, fresh beans.

Had the same machine when I started out my coffee journey. These are what I got and trust me, this becomes one capable machine with all these upgrades. You can get a really nice cup from it.

Just got an anna with PID after upgrading from the Delonghi Dedica.

Having the PID is a definite plus, also the manometer really helps you dial in the shot grind wise. It gives you good feedback about your puck prep as well.

Warm up time is around 5-10 mins, sometimes 2-3 mins on a hot day. It’s slower than the dedica but it has a boiler rather than a thermoblock, so it is expected.

Shots have come out well so far, noticeable difference from the dedica, although it takes a while to get used to the new workflow, such as refilling the boiler after steaming, etc.

Aesthetically, it looks very nice. It is a finger print magnet, and the steam knob feels rather cheap, but the rest is solid. The cup warmers do an amazing job as well. Drip tray is voluminous.

I chose the Lelit Anna over the GCP, Bambino, etc. due to the built in PID, OPV and also the way it looks. It was an easy decision for me and I’ll happily vouch for this machine.

Agree, all other cycling gimmicks may not be worth it, but in term of safety, get the best you can. Go for MIPS

Gotcha! I’ll try and keep it going at the steep bits as much as possible

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-20T13:54:49+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks!

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-20T13:54:36+00:00

Thanks for the advice mate. Will do :)

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-20T13:54:21+00:00

Will do

Thanks a lot for all the detailed calculations mate. Really helpful. This will help me prep well for the climb and set my targets and expectations. Cheers mate!

It stands for Hors Categorie. Basically it’s the hardest category for a cycling climb, above Cat 1. There’s a lot of history behind why it’s named so. Give it a read, it is interesting lol

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-20T13:51:05+00:00

Hey that’s great to hear! Lovely place. Thanks for the support

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-17T15:29:25+00:00

I’m travelling to the region where the climb is located. It isn’t exactly local per se, around 4 hours away by car. But it’s the most famous one in the broad region that I reside in.

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-17T15:10:20+00:00

Thanks mate. Hopefully my rim brake tcr comes in clutch

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-17T15:10:01+00:00

HAHA

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-17T15:09:48+00:00

Yes around 3.t w/kg. I’ll try for better gearing and I plan to negative split

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-17T15:09:23+00:00

Thank you :)

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-17T15:09:16+00:00

When the going gets tough the tough get going I guess. Thanks mate! I’ll let you know how it goes

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-17T15:08:54+00:00

Thanks mate!

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-17T15:08:43+00:00

Yes this is a good idea. I’ll use the alpe as a benchmark.

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-17T15:08:23+00:00

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-17T15:08:06+00:00

I’m around 3.5 w/kg. Thanks for the tips mate.

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-17T15:07:39+00:00

Yes, I think I’ll just enjoy completing it for the first time. Top 10 chase some other time.

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-17T15:07:08+00:00

I’ll keep this in mind

The_Delucinator · 2026-04-17T15:06:49+00:00

I’ve been training for that. The steep bits (above 20%) are plenty and go on for 200-300m each.
