Overview
Make the most of your Kitchen counter space with the LELIT Mara X Espresso Machine. A compact, uber-consistent heat exchanger that prioritizes espresso quality over everything else, the Mara X eschews traditional espresso machine wisdom to make some of the best espresso in its segment. Unlike traditional heat-exchange machines that set steam pressure directly at the boiler, the Mara X uses a second sensor at the group to target brew temperatures first. A physical toggle behind the drip tray lets you set from 3 temperatures (197, 201, or 205 degrees); while a switch on the side of the machine offers two selectable brew modes. For espresso, select ‘Xmode Coffee’ to get the best temp consistency for coffee-only drinks. Switch to ‘Xmode steam’ to increase steam pressure after brewing for better milk frothing. More than just a technical marvel, the Mara X features a bevy of barista-saving benefits too: silent pump design, long-ramp preinfusion, a dual pump and steam pressure gauge, optional standby mode, an ergonomic portafilter, and a custom-fit precision tamper right out of the box. Between its high-tech temp management and user-centric design, the Mara X makes an excellent coffee companion for any enthusiast.
- Compact Espresso Machine – The Mara X’s 9×16 footprint makes it one of the smallest prosumer machines on the market.
- Temperature Stability – A patented dual-probe temperature management setup makes the Mara more sensitive to brew temps than E61-style machines.
- Brew or Steam Priority – Choose either ‘Steam X’ mode for brew+steam flexibility, or ‘Brew X’ mode for a espresso-only experience.
- Custom Pump – A specially designed pump offers quieter operation and a long pressure ramp that functions as a soft preinfusion.
- Adjustable Temperature – A dedicated 3-way switch lets you choose your Mara X’s brew temperature (197, 201 or 205 degrees).
- Handmade in Italy – All Lelit machines are built by hand in Italy, and are available in stainless steel, black, and white colorways.
