Lelit - Mara X - Espresso Machine

Lelit Mara X

The Lelit MaraX Espresso Machine is the latest innovation from Lelit.  Not only is it the most compact espresso machine with an E61 type group head, but it also features a brand-new double probe system, patented by Lelit, that keeps brew temperature constant so as to yield the best performance for each single shot. 

The MaraX retains all of the advantages of a heat exchanger (HX) machine but simplifies the process to allow all users to easily pull the perfect espresso shot. 

Additional features of the MaraX include a fast warm up and short wait time between shots, stainless steel boiler, patented silent technology, cool touch steam wand and a double pressure gauge. The perfect coffee at the right temperature in just 24 minutes, stable thermal equilibrium with any coffee blend. It even comes with a "real" tamper. 

Features

Two Brew Modes

The MaraX gives the options to chose between 2 very distinct modes:

• Brew Temperature Priority (BTP): Use the double probe technology, the MaraX will control the boiler temperature to ensure the brew temperature is maintained, eliminating the need for the cooling flush typically required with E61 heat exchanger machines.  The user can also choose between 3 brew temperature settings: Default (92C), Hot (94C) or Extra Hot (96C)
• Steam Temperature Priority (STP): In this mode, the MaraX will operate like a typical E61 heat exchanger machine and control the boiler temperature to maintain steam temperature/pressure.  The user can also choose between 3 steam pressures: 120C (1.0bar), 123C (1.2bar) or 126C (1.5bar)

Temperature configuration

The temperature configuration button allows you to choose the ideal extraction temperature between Warm, Hot and Extra Hot, to enhance the taste of the extracted coffee according to the different roasts.

Silent Pump

MaraX is extremely quiet thanks to the silent pump and provides a water flow designed to extract the best out of any kind of coffee and roast at every brewing phase.

Double Probe System

This Lelit patent-pending technology uses 2 temperature probes (steam and heat exchanger temperature) combined with electronics and programming in order to obtain the perfect brewing temperature.

This patent pending innovative system keeps the brewing temperature constant, eliminating the long waits between each coffee and avoiding the overheating typical of classical HX systems.

Cool Touch Steam Wand

Lelit’s new steam ergonomic wands are Cool Touch to avoid getting burnt. Cleaning has been made simple to prevent scale formation giving the user yet another advantage contributing to the full enjoyment of espresso making.

Satin Finish Stainless Steel Body

MaraX’s design is coupled with an excellent build quality as a result of its brushed stainless steel body, its drain tray and cup warmer complete with a self-cleaning grate.

Stainless Steel boiler

The new stainless steel boiler AISI 316L is another detail aimed at improving the final result: an espresso that keeps its taste and aroma intact through each single bean from the start to the very end.

Dual Pressure Gauge

MaraX’s double pressure gauge allows you to control both the pressure of the steam boiler and the pressure during coffee extraction. You will thus be able to observe the brewing curve from the pre-infusion to the end of the extraction.
