Lelit Mara X V2, black

The black Lelit Mara X V2 is a compact dual-circuit espresso machine with innovative temperature control. It combines classic E61 technology with modern precision and ensures perfect espresso and powerful steam - quietly, powerfully and stylishly. With its improved controls and sophisticated design, it stands out from other models in its class.

The Mara X V2 is the smallest fully-fledged dual-circuit machine with an E61 brew group. Thanks to the patented HX probe system, it heats up faster and provides a constant temperature for optimum extraction. The mechanical pre-infusion ensures even wetting of the coffee grounds, while the regulated pressure relief valve guarantees constant brewing pressure. The extremely quiet vibration pump significantly reduces operating noise and enables gentle extraction. The double pressure gauge precisely displays the boiler and brewing pressure so that you always have full control over the brewing process. Its brushed stainless steel housing also gives it a high-quality look and durability.

The Mara X V2 is simple and intuitive to operate. Using the temperature selection button, you can choose between three brewing temperatures (Warm, Hot, Extra Hot) to get the best out of every bean. The LED indicators signal that the machine is ready for use and warn you when water needs to be topped up. A special highlight is the sophisticated noise insulation - rubber elements at critical points minimise vibrations and noise. With a width of just 22.5 cm, the Mara X V2 also fits into small kitchens and still offers professional performance. The cool-touch steam lance makes frothing milk easier and prevents burns.

This espresso machine impresses with its sophisticated technology: the new control system of the V2 version differs significantly from the first generation. Importantly, the brewing priority is set to level 0 - in contrast to the V1, which ran at level 1. The patented dual-probe system prevents the brew group from overheating and keeps the temperature constant. This means no long waiting times between brews and even extraction. The "Xmode Steam" provides particularly strong steam power for cappuccino lovers, while the "Xmode Coffee" is ideal for espresso purists. The standby function ensures energy efficiency by switching the machine off after a certain time.

In tests, the Mara X V2 has impressed with its exceptional temperature stability and smooth running. It is significantly quieter than many other dual-circuit machines and its compact format saves space. The quality of the milk foam was particularly positively emphasised - thanks to the strong steam power and precise control, fine-pored, velvety micro-foam textures are created. The user-friendliness was also praised: the combination of simple operation and high-quality workmanship makes the Mara X V2 an excellent choice for home baristas.

The scope of delivery includes a portafilter with double spout, three sieves (1, 2 and 2 ½), a blind sieve and a high-quality wooden tamper. A water filter is also included to increase the service life of the machine and guarantee the best flavour at all times. The generous drip tray holds over one litre of water and enables clean working without constant emptying.

The Lelit Mara X V2 is an outstanding choice for anyone who wants to enjoy high-quality espresso in a compact form - with professional features and an excellent price-performance ratio.
