Lelit Mara PL62X V2 | Espresso machine

Popular dual-circuit boiler at a very fair price

The Lelit Mara X is a compact dual-circuit espresso machine with a stainless steel boiler and PID temperature control, as well as the proven E-61 brewing group. Its slim body fits even in the smallest kitchens. Unlike most portafilter machines, the body is not polished, but rather brushed to a satin finish. The Lelit Mara X perfectly fulfills the purpose of an everyday espresso machine, simple to use and delivering impressive results.

Modern espresso machine in a classic design

The Lelit team from Lombardy primarily producesPortafilter machines for home use, so the portafilters are thought through down to the last detail for the home kitchen and its use.

The dual probe system ensures a constant brewing water temperature. Comparable coffee machines with an E-61 brewing group can overheat after a certain amount of time. Lelit's new system ensures a consistently constant brewing temperature (operating mode set to I). Cooling flushes are thus a thing of the past. However, those who like to froth coffee can also switch the Mara X to steam mode for maximum steam power (switch to position 0).

Large cups fit easily under the slender Mara X thanks to the raised brewing group. A raised cup grid ensures that the espresso doesn't cool down during brewing and flows cleanly into the cup. When the rotary steam valve is opened, the "cold-touch" steam pipes prevent the milk from sticking. Two LEDs signal to the home barista whether the Mara X is ready for use, should the water be running low or the machine still heating up. Another clever feature is the dual portafilter, with spouts positioned at the rear instead of at the sides. This eliminates the need for a single portafilter for a single espresso with the Mara X. The espresso flows from both spouts into each espresso cup.
