Wendougee LITA Sigma-Σ Espressomaschine
Die Wendougee LITA Sigma-Σ, neu interpretiert um den Hebel
Die Wendougee LITA Sigma ist die ausdrucksstärkste Maschine, die Wendougee je für den Heimgebrauch gebaut hat. Sie basiert auf der kompakten Dualboiler-LITA-Plattform, die sich einen Ruf für Café-Qualität bei kleinen Abmessungen erarbeitet hat, und baut ihr Herz um zwei Dinge herum neu auf, die ernsthafte Baristas verlangen: eine gewerbliche Zahnradpumpe und ein physisches elektronisches Fluss-Paddle an der Gruppe.
Dies ist die erste Maschine in Wendougees SMART-Produktlinie für Zuhause, die taktile, Echtzeit-Flusskontrolle direkt unter Ihrer Hand bietet. Während die LITA BA und LA Druck und Fluss über die Touch-Scheibe und die E-Bar-App profilieren, fügt die Sigma das analoge Gefühl eines Hebels hinzu — die gleiche Philosophie, die hinter Maschinen wie der Lelit Bianca und der La Marzocco Leva steht, jetzt auf Wendougees leiser Zahnradpumpenarchitektur, die von der Flaggschiff Data S entlehnt wurde.
Darüber hinaus verwendet sie einen italienischen GICAR Durchflussmesser, einen deutschen WIKA Drucksensor und WIKA Manometer,allehochwertigen gewerblichen Komponenten.
Sie integriert sich auch mit kompatiblen Mühlen wie der Wendougee MILO und ARES. Darüber hinaus verbindet sie sich mit Waagen wie der BooKoo Waagen. Dadurch wird die Funktionalität des Brühens nach Gewicht und die Echtzeit-Datenverfolgung ermöglicht.
Eine Maschine. Endlose Extraktion. Entwickelt, um sich an jede Bohne, jedes Rezept, jede Stimmung anzupassen.
Was die Sigma anders macht
Gewerbliche Zahnradpumpe.
Die Sigma ersetzt die beiden elektromagnetischen Vibrationspumpen der LITA durch dasselbe Zahnradpumpensystem, das Wendougee in seiner Spitzenmaschine Data S verwendet. Das Ergebnis ist eine merklich leisere Maschine und eine sanftere, linearere Kontrolle über Druck und Fluss während des Schusses — die Grundlage, die echtes Profiling ermöglicht.
Elektronisches Fluss-Paddle.
Ein physisches Paddle am Brühkopf gibt Ihnen die direkte Kontrolle über den Fluss während des Schusses. Sanft öffnen für eine lange, sanfte Vorinfusion; in den Spitzen Druck für Körper steigern; das Ende verjüngen, um die Astringenz zu kontrollieren — alles nach Gefühl, alles in Echtzeit, keine Menüs. Es ist der Teil der Sigma, den Sie vom ersten Schuss an im Becher spüren werden.
Thermische Stabilität mit Dualboiler.
Die Sigma basiert auf Wendougees gesättigter Dualboiler-LITA-Architektur: unabhängige Brüh- und Dampfkreise, sodass Sie gleichzeitig brühen und dampfen können, mit PID-gesteuerter Temperaturstabilität Schuss für Schuss.
Kompaktes, durchdachtes Design.
Die LITA-Plattform passt eine echte Dualboilermaschine in einen Fußabdruck von etwa 26 cm Breite — so konstruiert, dass sie wie ein Designelement auf der Theke aussieht, nicht wie ein Stück Ausrüstung. Das Paddle wird zum definierenden visuellen Element der Gruppe.
App-verbunden, wenn Sie es wollen.
Die Wendougee E-Bar-App und die optionale Bluetooth-Waagenintegration ermöglichen es Ihnen, Rezepte zu speichern und Druck- und Flusskurven zu überprüfen — sodass die Sigma sowohl als intuitive Hebelmaschine als auch als datengestützte Maschine funktioniert, nach Ihren Vorgaben.
Für wen es gedacht ist
Die Sigma ist für den Heimbarista, der die Push-Button-Espressomaschine hinter sich gelassen hat und den Schuss gestalten möchte — jemand, der die Lelit Bianca V3, Profitec Pro 600, La Marzocco Linea Mini R oder Arkel Coast in Betracht zieht und gewerbliche Pumpentechnologie und hebelgesteuerte Flusskontrolle ohne gewerbliche Preisschilder oder Abmessungen möchte.

Wendougee LITA Sigma your end-game espresso machine
There's a particular quiet to the morning when you're the first one awake. The grinder hums. Steam rises before the city does.
This is the hour the home barista lives for. A new bean. A finer grind. A profile someone shared at midnight. You pull the shot, you taste, you note, you wait for tomorrow.
The setup matters. The Wendougee LITA sits on the counter like sculpture matte painted stainless steel, a walnut wood paddle for the amazing tactile feeling under your hand, pressure you can profile and flow you can control. The technology lives quietly inside the app.
Guests always notice. The conversation starts there, and always finds its way back to the coffee in the cup.
Engineering of Wendougee LITA
<-- Swipe Left
Group Head
Saturated 316L stainless group head
The brew boiler and the group head on the Wendougee LITA are a single machined block of 316L stainless steel. The same design commercial La Marzocco machines use. Because the group is part of the boiler instead of being heated through it from outside, there's no cooling flush before the first shot. Brew temperature holds steady across back-to-back pulls, which is what you need if you're dialling in a light roast across three or four shots in a session.
Dual Boilers
0.8 L steam boiler, 0.35 L brew boiler
On the Wendougee LITA there is two stainless boilers, each with its own PID controller. The steam boiler can go up to 2.5 bar at 140°, that's a commercial level of steam pressure in compact and small espresso machine. The 0.35 L brew boiler runs at brew temperature and feeds the saturated group directly. Incoming cold water runs around the hot steam boiler before it reaches the brew side, so the brew temperature doesn't drop every time you refill the tank.
Pressure Sensor
German WIKA Pressure Sensor
WIKA is the sensor most commercial espresso machine builders reach for when they need readings they can trust. On the Wendougee LITA LA it sits inline with the group and feeds live pressure data back to the E-bar app every few milliseconds, and the pump correct itself mid-shot. hence the choice of a brand with a more than 75-year track record in industrial instrumentation.
Gear Pump
Commercial grade built gear pump
Where rotary pumps push water at a roughly fixed pressure, and the vibratory bumps are loud and not accurate, a gear pump uses interlocking gears running at variable speeds. The Wendougee LITA SIGMA adjusts pump speed hundreds of times per second, following whatever pressure or flow curve you've programmed. It also runs quieter, with an even hum rather than the classic vibratory buzz, and produces smoother transitions between curve stages while maintaining extreme accuracy.
paddle Control
Electronic flow paddle
The Wendougee LITA Sigma puts a physical flow paddle directly on the group head, giving you hands-on flow profiling during the shot — no menus, no app required. Ease the paddle open for a long, gentle pre-infusion that evenly saturates the puck, ramp into full pressure to build body and sweetness, then taper the flow at the tail to control astringency and clarity. This is manual espresso flow control you feel in real time and taste in the cup from the very first extraction.
Flow Meter
Italian GICAR Flow meter for volume control.
The GICAR flow meter in Wendougee LITA LA sits inline with the group and counts every millilitre of water that passes through it. That real-time data feeds the E-bar app as you pull, showing you exactly how much liquid has left the group head and how fast it's flowing. Set a target volume per profile and the LITA LA cuts the shot automatically when it hits the number, no scale required for a repeatable yield.
screen
Screen
The built-in small screen on the front of the Wendougee LITA. It provide you with all the necessary and essential information, like brew temp, steam temp, whether the machine's actually ready to pull a shot, and how long the current shot's been running. so you can pull a great espresso without reaching for your phone or tablet.
App Controled
Pressure and flow profiling in the E-bar app
Build a profile curve in the Wendougee E-bar app on IOS or Android for Wendougee LITA LA, pre-infusion ramp, pressure plateau, declining tail, whatever the coffee wants. Save the profile under the bean it's Dialed for. The app shows live pressure, flow, and temperature graphs as the shot pulls, so you can see exactly where your curve tracked and where it missed. Share finished profiles to the community tab, pull other people's down, tweak them to your water and grinder. Firmware updates arrive over-the-air.
Bluetooth Connectivity
Pairs with BOOKOO scales and MILO grinders
The Wendougee LITA LA talks to BOOKOO Themis Mini, BOOKOO Themis Ultra, and Acaia Lunar(not supported yet) scales over Bluetooth and cuts the shot automatically at your target weight, no watching the scale, no reaching for the paddle. It also pairs with Wendougee MILO Play, MILO II Grinders, so grind size syncs to each saved profile. Change bean, change profile, grind comes with it. Less dial-in, more drinking.
Robust Construction
Commercial-grade build
the Wendougee LITA made of full Coated cast steel body, 22 kg on the counter, copper pipework inside. The chassis is built to the same mechanical standard you'd see on a commercial machine, in a 261 mm wide footprint. Lift the lid and you can see it, thick-walled boilers, clean routing, no flimsy plastic where metal ought to be. Open the side panels and the inside is as serviceable as the outside is clean. The kind of machine that earns its place on the counter rather than just occupying it.
Needle valve
Needle valve for max flow
A small access hole on the top of the Wendougee LITA machine sits directly above the needle valve. Open it with a flat-head screwdriver to raise or lower the maximum flow rate the group can push through the puck. The factory setting is 12 ml per second, which suits most workflows, drop it for slower pours on lighter roasts, leave it alone for everyday espresso. It's hardware control over a limit that most machines hide behind software.
Water Tap
Hot water tap
The Wendougee LITA LA’s dedicated hot water tap gives you instant, fresh water on demand for Americanos, tea, and rinsing cups, without disrupting brewing temperature stability.
Steam Wand
Cool-touch steam wand, four-hole tip
the Wendougee LITA Comes with 0.8 L insulated steam boiler feeds a cool-touch wand with enough power to texture a 500 ml jug of milk for two flat whites without drawing breath. Cool-touch means the wand shell stays safe to grip seconds after steaming, which matters if you pull back-to-back drinks.
What makes Wendougee engineering different
Most prosumer espresso machines at this price sit in the same bracket: E61 group, single vibratory pump, one PID controller, no app. Wendougee went a different way. They built the LITA Sigma around commercial-grade parts, a German WIKA pressure sensor, an Italian GICAR flow meter, a 316L saturated group head, and two independent vibratory pumps, and wrapped them in a software layer that lets you shape pressure and flow curve by curve. The sections below walk through the specific parts that make the difference.
A look under the hood
Pull most espresso machines apart and you'll see why manufacturers prefer you don't. The Wendougee LITA invites you to look closer. Owners talk about its build the way people talk about a good mechanical watch: clean routing, honest materials, parts with real names attached, components chosen for how they'll age. This is what a machine looks like when there's nothing to hide.
Intuitive to use. Elegant to look at
This is an espresso machine designed for people who want real control without the overhead that usually comes with it. Every setting is where you expect it. Every piece of feedback is clear. When you want to steer the shot, you can. When you want the machine to handle the details, it does. The result is a kind of confidence at the bar, the sense that whatever you pull is going to land the way you meant it to. And because it looks the way it does, you'll want it on your counter long before you fall in love with how it brews.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Does the Wendougee LITA SIGMA ship to the EU and EEA?
Yes. Vellutto ships the Wendougee LITA SIGMA across the EU and EEA with insured carriers. Handling is 1–2 business days, transit 2–7 business days depending on destination.
What is the Wendougee LITA Sigma?
The LITA Sigma (Sigma-Σ) is a single-group, semi-automatic home espresso machine and the most expressive machine in Wendougee's SMART home line. It builds on the compact dual-boiler LITA platform but replaces the pump with a commercial-grade gear pump and adds a physical electronic flow paddle on the group head for real-time, hands-on flow control.
How is the LITA Sigma different from the LITA BA and LITA LA?
The LITA BA and LA control pressure and flow through Wendougee's touch disc and the E-Bar app, driven by twin electromagnetic vibratory pumps. The Sigma changes the hardware itself: it uses a quieter commercial gear pump (the same architecture as Wendougee's flagship Data S) and adds a tactile flow paddle, so you shape the shot by feel in real time rather than only through the app.
What is the electronic flow paddle and what does it do?
The paddle is a physical lever on the group that gives you direct command of flow during the shot. You can open gently for a long, soft pre-infusion, ramp into peak pressure for body, then taper the finish to control astringency — all by hand, mid-extraction, with no menus. It's the same philosophy as lever-style flow control on machines like the Lelit Bianca, applied to Wendougee's gear-pump system.
Does the Sigma have a dual boiler?
Yes. The Sigma uses Wendougee's saturated dual-boiler LITA architecture, with independent brew and steam circuits so you can pull a shot and steam milk at the same time, with PID-managed temperature stability.
What pump does the Wendougee Sigma use?
A commercial-grade gear pump — the same type used in Wendougee's top-tier Data S. Compared with the vibratory pumps in the standard LITA, a gear pump runs noticeably quieter and gives smoother, more linear control over pressure and flow, which is what makes true profiling possible.
Can I connect the Sigma to an app?
Yes. The Sigma works with the Wendougee E-Bar app and is compatible with a Bluetooth scale (sold separately), so you can save recipes and review pressure and flow curves. The app is optional — the Sigma works fully as a tactile lever machine on its own.
What size portafilter does the Sigma use?
The Sigma is built on the LITA platform, which uses a standard 58 mm portafilter with a 316 stainless saturated group head. This is provisional pending Wendougee's final Sigma specification sheet, but 58 mm is the established LITA-platform size and the industry-standard prosumer fitting, same as La Marazocco machines
What are the full specifications of the LITA Sigma?
Confirmed for the Sigma: single-group semi-automatic, commercial gear pump, electronic flow paddle, dual boiler, E-Bar app and Bluetooth scale compatibility. Carried over from the LITA BA/LA platform (provisional until Wendougee publishes the Sigma's official sheet): roughly a 0.35 L brew boiler plus 0.8 L steam boiler, 0–9 bar at ±0.1 bar, PID on both boilers, ~1.2 L removable tank, 240 V / ~2,100 W, approximately 26 × 38.6 × 33.4 cm and ~22 kg. We update this page as Wendougee confirms final figures.
Is the LITA Sigma plumbed in or tank-fed?
The LITA platform the Sigma is based on is tank-fed with a removable reservoir of around 1.2 L. Plumb-in capability has not been confirmed for the Sigma. We'll update this page once Wendougee specifies it.
What colours or finishes is the Sigma available in?
Finish options have not yet been confirmed by Wendougee for the Sigma. We will list available finishes on this page as soon as they're released.
How does the Sigma compare to the Lelit Bianca, Profitec, or La Marzocco Linea Mini?
The Sigma is aimed at the home barista cross-shopping machines like the Lelit Bianca V3, Profitec Pro 600, La Marzocco Linea Mini R or Arkel Coast — people who want commercial pump hardware and lever-driven flow control without a commercial footprint or price tag. Its distinguishing combination is a commercial gear pump paired with a physical flow paddle on a compact dual-boiler chassis.
Who is the Wendougee LITA Sigma for?
It's for the home barista who has outgrown push-button espresso and wants to actively shape each shot. If you want tactile, real-time flow control, dual-boiler stability, and the option of app-based recipe profiling in a counter-friendly footprint, the Sigma is built for you.
Can I order the Sigma now and ship it within the EU?
Yes. The LITA Sigma is should be available to pre-order through Vellutto soon and for delivery across the EU/EEA. Because it's a build-to-order machine from a limited early production run, please expect a lead time of several months. Confirmed specifications and shipping estimates are updated on this page as Wendougee releases them.
Which mode should I use pressure profiling or flow priority?
Honestly, it depends on the coffee and what you're chasing in the cup.
Pressure profiling is the intuitive choice if you've used a lever machine — you think in pressure phases, and that's what the curves look like. Flow profiling is often easier to dial in, because the pump quietly corrects for small grind inconsistencies that would otherwise throw off a pressure-based shot.
How long does the Wendougee LITA take to heat up?
Less then 10 minutes from cold to brew-ready, which is faster than most E61 machines. For best consistency, let it sit a couple of minutes longer after it hits temperature so the group head and portafilter fully stabilise before your first shot.
Can I share espresso profiles with other Wendougee LITA users?
Yes. The Wendougee E-bar app includes a Community tab where users upload and download profiles, so beginners can pull up recipes from experienced baristas instead of dialling everything in from zero.
One thing to be realistic about: downloading a profile won't give you someone else's exact shot. Grinder, beans, water, and ambient conditions all push the result around, so a shared profile is a head start you'll still need to tweak the grind and probably adjust a few parameters to make it sing on your setup.
Can the Wendougee LITA stop extraction by weight using a scale?
Yes. The LITA pairs with an external scale like BooKoo scale over Bluetooth and cuts the shot automatically when it reaches your target weight no watching the scale and reaching for the paddle.
Supported scales right now:
- BooKoo
- Acaia (not yet)
Can the Wendougee LITA firmware be updated?
Yes. The Wendougee E-bar app gets regular updates that add new features, and machine firmware is flashed through the same app — you don't need cables or a service visit.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions when an update runs. Don't unplug the machine or close the app partway through, or you risk bricking the firmware.
What problems does the Wendougee LITA solve, and why choose it?
Most of the LITA features map directly to specific frustrations home baristas run into. Here's how it handles them:
Inconsistent shots. The gear pump holds pressure steadily with real-time feedback, so shot-to-shot variation drops and your profiles actually become reproducible instead of lucky.
Not enough control over extraction. Choose pressure profiling or flow profiling, adjust the pump in fine increments, and build whatever curve you want pre-infusion ramps, pressure plateaus, declining tails. Every profile saves in the E-bar app and recalls with a tap.
The learning curve on manual machines. The E-bar app shows live pressure, flow, and temperature graphs while you pull, and lets you save what worked. Pair it with the MILO II grinder and Themis scale and you get a guided dial-in workflow that walks you through the process step by step.
Temperature swings. Two independent stainless-steel boilers, each with its own PID controller, handle brew and steam separately. Stability is on par with commercial machines.
Slow warm-up. About five minutes from cold to brew-ready — faster than most E61 machines in this category.
Loud, uneven pumps. The gear pump is much quieter than a vibration pump and gives smoother pressure transitions. In sound and feel, it's closer to a rotary.
Grinder and scale integration that doesn't really exist on most machines. Paired with the MILO PLay and the Themis, grind size syncs to each profile and the shot stops automatically at your target weight.
No way to learn from other baristas. The E-bar app has a community feed for uploading and downloading extraction curves. Starting from a proven profile is a lot friendlier than building from zero.
Cleaning. Programmable cleaning cycles, a three-way valve that makes backflushing simple, and a front-access drain on the steam boiler for routine maintenance.
What the LITA unlocks beyond fixing those problems:
- Room to experiment with profiles you can't build on a manual machine
- Actually getting what you paid for out of expensive beans
- Pulling extreme light roasts — the high-acidity Scandinavian-style coffees that most home machines struggle with
Do I need a tablet to use the LITA?
No — after a one-time setup with the free E-Bar app on any Android or iOS phone/tablet, the LITA runs standalone. Saved profiles load onto the Intelligent Disc and launch from there. Many owners report using the app only occasionally to dial in a new coffee.
Is the Wendougee Sigma a good machine?
The Sigma is built on the well-regarded LITA dual-boiler platform, which has drawn praise for shot quality, build quality, quiet operation and steam power, combined with the gear pump from Wendougee's flagship Data S and a flow paddle for hands-on control. As a newly launched machine, independent hands-on reviews are still emerging; we'll add review content to this page as it becomes available.
Does the LITA SIMGA do pressure profiling AND flow profiling?
Yes — but one at a time per profile. Each profile is either pressure-priority (you programe the bar curve and flow adapts) or flow-priority (you programe the ml/s curve and pressure adapts), with a needle valve capping maximum flow at 12 ml/s. You only can mix them when you design a profile.
Which grinder and scale pair with the LITA SIGMA over Bluetooth?
Wendougee's own MILO Play and MILO II grinders pair through the E-Bar app, and BOOKOO's Themis Mini and Themis Ultra scales pair for stop-by-weight shots. Acaia Lunar is on the roadmap but is not currently supported. Third-party grinders work perfectly as dumb grinders; only the E-Bar ecosystem talks to the app.
How do I pull a shot by weight with a BOOKOO Themis?
Pair the Themis to the E-Bar app over Bluetooth, set a target yield (say 36 g) in the profile, tare with the empty cup on the drip tray, then push the play button. The machine cuts the pump automatically when the scale reports target weight.
Can I share or import profiles from other users?
The E-Bar app supports recipe download and saving of pre-configured flavour curves, based on the Grokipedia/app-store documentation of the Wendougee platform. Cross-user sharing works via profile files. The community is smaller than Decent's Diaspora, so profile libraries are still improving.
How loud is the LITA SIGMA?
Gear Pumps are quieter than a classic Ulka, it is the same as the DATA S gear pump.
LITA SIGMA vs La Marzocco Linea Mini / Micra?
Linea Mini uses a saturated group, paddle pre-infusion, and commercial pedigree, at roughly double the LITA SIGMA's price. The Micra vs LITA direct shortlist. The LITA SIGMA matches Micra on saturated group and dual-boiler architecture and adds programmable profiles that Micra lacks; Micra has a rotary pump and brand prestige, while the LITA SIGMA has a gear pump
Is the tablet included with the LITA SIGMA?
No. The Wendougee-branded Android tablet is a paid accessory; the machine is designed to be driven from any Android or iOS phone or tablet you already own, using the free E-Bar app. Setup requires a phone or tablet once; day-to-day operation can be done entirely from the Intelligent Disc and paddle.
How often should I descale and backflush?
Daily: flush the group for 2–3 seconds and wipe the steam wand. Weekly: backflush with a blind basket and espresso-safe detergent (e.g., Cafiza). Every 3–6 months: descale the brew and steam boilers with a citric-acid or manufacturer approved descaler. Interval depends on water hardness — soft-water users at <50 ppm can stretch to 6 months.
Are spare parts available in the EU?
Yes, spare parts are available
How do I update firmware on the LITA SIGMA?
Firmware updates are pushed through the E-Bar app over Bluetooth. When you open the app with the machine connected, it checks Wendougee's servers and prompts you to install any available update on the controller and connected peripherals.
