Question about Lelit Kate

Hello, I'm thinking of buying a Lelit Kate coffee machine. Could someone tell me what the minimum height above the machine is to be able to remove the water tank? I haven't found this information anywhere on the internet. Thanks in advance for your feedback and have a great day!

Thank you very much for all your very constructive replies.
Unfortunately I only have 60 cm available, so I'm going to have to go for its little sister, the "Lelit Anita PL42TEM" model, which is 5.2 cm shorter. It's a shame, but I can't see myself trying to aim for the tank hole "blindly" every day with a jug of water... Have a great day and thanks again for your answers!

I measured this earlier with the metre on the original. Bear in mind that you can't hold the refill tank from above, only from the side. So if you want to fill the tank and put it back in, you need to have strong hands, as the weight will be over 3kg (3 litres incl. tank). But it is feasible. I would reckon with 65cm from the ground.

Hello
To lift the water tank completely out of the coffee machine to refill it, you need at least 63cm from the floor where the machine is standing. To make the process more convenient, however, I would recommend a height of 65 cm if you have the machine under the wall unit, for example. This means around 25-27cm above the top edge of the machine (not counting the coffee grinder attachment).
Kind regards Pirmin

Same height as the machine. I placed it on a sliding base/drawer so that I could put some storage space on top.

I don't know exactly, but you need at least 15/20 cm to be able to fill the tank with a jug. If, on the other hand, you want to remove the tank and fill it under running water, then almost the same height as the machine.

I would say almost as high as the machine, as the water tank is relatively high. Do you need more details?
