Description
Café-style espresso and milk drinks. Only 22.5 cm wide.
The Stone Lite Black brings a traditional, hands-on espresso workflow to kitchens where counter space matters. A 58 mm professional brew format, a separately heated group and a real steam wand let you pull great shots and texture milk for lattes and cappuccinos, without giving up half your counter.
Leave room for the grinder.
Most machines with real steam power take up a lot of space. At 225 mm wide, the Stone Lite leaves room on your coffee bar for a capable espresso grinder, a scale and your puck-prep tools, so you can build a complete setup in a small kitchen or apartment.
- Only 225 mm / 8.9 in wide
- Runs from a removable 1.2 L water tank
- Standard 115 V / 60 Hz North American power
- Stainless-steel front, top and rear panels with black side panels
Designed for people who love milk drinks
Real barista control
A manual brew paddle lets you start and stop each shot yourself. The 58 mm format gives you access to a wide range of baskets, tampers and puck screens.
Brew and steam together
The heat-exchange design and articulated steam wand let you texture milk in the same workflow as your shot, ideal for lattes, flat whites and cappuccinos.
Quick to start, easy to live with
A separately heated brew group helps the machine get ready in about 10 minutes. ECO mode puts it on standby after about 60 minutes of inactivity.
Built in Milan, built with metal.
Every Stone Lite is assembled by hand in Milan, Italy. The Black edition pairs stainless-steel main panels with dark side panels for a clean, modern look that suits contemporary kitchens.
A front pressure gauge gives a clear read on boiler and steam readiness, so you always know when the machine is ready to go.
A great fit if you…
- Have limited counter space but want more steam capability than a compact single-boiler machine.
- Drink lattes, cappuccinos or flat whites and want to texture milk by hand.
- Are upgrading from an entry-level appliance and want a professional 58 mm workflow.
- Prefer a water tank over a permanent plumbing connection.
A dedicated espresso grinder is required and sold separately. Not designed for commercial use. There is no dedicated hot-water outlet; a kettle is the easiest option for americanos and tea.

Good to know before you order
How long does it take to warm up?
Stone rates the Lite as ready in about 10 minutes. For the best espresso, the manual recommends 15 to 18 minutes so the group and portafilter are fully heated.
Can I brew and steam at the same time?
Yes. The heat-exchange design supports espresso extraction and milk steaming within the same workflow.
Will any 58 mm portafilter fit?
Baskets, tampers and accessories in 58 mm are widely compatible. For a complete replacement portafilter, check compatibility first, as locking geometry varies between brands.
Does it need plumbing?
No. It runs from a removable 1.2 L water tank and plugs into a standard 115 V outlet.
Do I need a grinder?
Yes. A dedicated espresso grinder is needed and sold separately. Ask us and we'll suggest a grinder that pairs well with the Stone Lite.
Does it make cold foam or have an app?
No. The Stone Lite is a traditional hands-on machine with a hot steam wand and no app connectivity.
