Is the Lelit Elizabeth worth it over a single-boiler machine?

If you regularly make milk drinks, yes. The dual boilers let you steam while brewing, which single-boiler machines can't do without waiting.

Can it brew and steam at the same time?

Yes. The two boilers are independent, so you can pull a shot and steam milk simultaneously.

Yes, it has programmable pre-infusion, which helps with lighter roasts. Expect to spend some time dialing in the settings.

The reservoir is on the small side for a dual-boiler machine, so plan on refilling it during longer sessions.

The machine ships with portafilters, filter baskets and a tamper. Check the listing for the exact accessory set.

It is more involved than a basic machine. The PID and pre-infusion menus take practice, but the brewing itself is straightforward once set up.
