Popular dual circuit machine at a very fair price

The Lelit Mara X is a compact two-circuit espresso machine with a stainless steel boiler and PID temperature control, as well as the tried and tested E-61 brewing group. The slim housing means the Mara X fits into even the smallest kitchens. Unlike most portafilter machines, the housing is not polished, but brushed to a satin finish. The Lelit Mara X perfectly fulfills the purpose of an everyday espresso machine, easy to use and impressive in its results.

Modern espresso machine in a classic design

The Lelit team from Lombardy primarily produces

Portafilter machines for home use

, which means that the portafilters are thought through down to the last detail for the home kitchen and its use.
The double probe system ensures a constant temperature for the brewing water. Similar coffee machines with E-61 brewing group can overheat after a certain time. With Lelit, the new system ensures a constant brewing temperature (operating mode on I). A cooling flush is now a thing of the past.
However, if you like to foam, you can also switch the Mara X to steam mode to get maximum steam power (switch to 0 position).
Large cups can easily fit under the slender Mara X thanks to the raised brewing group. Thanks to a raised cup grid, the espresso does not cool down during brewing and runs cleanly into the cup. If the rotary valve for the steam 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 if the water is running low or if it is still heating up.
The 2-port portafilter with spouts positioned at the back instead of at the side is also clever. This means that the Mara X does not require a 1-port portafilter for a single espresso. The espresso also reaches the individual espresso cup from both spouts.

Surprisingly quiet vibration pump

The

Lelit PL62X

has a vibration pump, but this works surprisingly

quiet

to work. When you switch it on, you might initially think you are dealing with a rotary pump. The drip tray and cup holder stand on small rubber buffers, so vibrating metal parts are not an issue.

The right temperature for every espresso

A function that you would not expect in this price segment is the PID controller. A PID controller is an electronic temperature control, they are more precise than the classic pressure switch and offer the possibility of quickly adjusting the temperature of the espresso machine. The highlight of the Mara X is that the temperature is not only measured in the boiler, but also in the heat exchanger. On the Lelit Mara PL62X, the temperature setting is solved with a toggle switch. The brewing temperature can be adjusted to the roasting of the beans in three stages. With an additional switch on the right-hand side, the X-Mode, you can choose whether the machine should prefer the exact brewing temperature or the perfect steam pressure. Both switches are hidden behind the drip tray and cannot be seen during normal operation. Nobody will probably miss a display on the Mara X.
