Lelit Mara X V2 Espresso Machine

Brew and Steam Priority Modes

The hallmark of the Mara X is in its clever priority control over both steaming and brewing, allowing the user to decide what’s most important to them. In steam priority mode, the Mara X will steam with greater power and offer better milk texture, as well as recovering faster between drinks, allowing multiple drinks to be made simultaneously. In Brew priority mode, the Mara X focuses more of its attention on maintaining a lower and more stable water temperature ideal for espresso brewing, helping to minimize large temperature fluctuations from shot to shot. Further enhancing espresso brewing is the inclusion of three preset temperature settings—Warm (197F), Hot (201F), and Extra-Hot (205F)—easily optimizing water temperature for dark, medium, or light roasts, respectively. Compared to other heat exchangers on the market, the Mara X offers significantly more control—simulating, in a sense, the capability of dual boiler espresso machines.
