Lelit Mara X+ PID Includes: Free Shipping One-year parts and bench labor due to defective parts. The Mara X is the Lelit's next leading breakthrough innovation, Lelit’s Mara X espresso machine, with its esteemed E61 brew group, sports an aesthetic stainless-steel body hiding an internal, optimized heat exchange system with PID temperature control. Now, you can be an amazing home barista, thanks to how compact the Mara X espresso machine with its semi-commercial qualities and PID temperature management system. Working with a vibration pump manufacturer, Lelit has intensely researched to decrease the noise of the Mara’s vibration pump when compared to competitive E61 machines with vibration pumps. The Lelit Mara X espresso machine integrates temperature stability through the PID temperature management system that improves high quality espresso extractions. With the help of some of these features, one can enjoy the art and culture of producing excellent espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes in no time! A good grinder is needed, of course! Heat exchange system: Pull a shot & steam milk at the same time – Steam is always readily available. Hence, there is no wait time going from coffee to steam mode. This works well if entertaining a small group of people. Stainless steel, insulated boiler – The boiler is made of AISI 316L stainless steel design helps maintain temperature stability, but please note any stainless-steel boiler can still develop limescale. Therefore, we highly recommend using a water softener. The manufacturer wraps the boiler with insulation for maximum heat retention and energy savings. Thermo-siphon double-cycle heat exchanger system – Keeps the brew group and the boiler always hot, at the right temperature range for making good consistent espresso. Polymer tubing connection – From the boiler to steam and hot water valves: alimentary polymer tubes resist limescale buildup. These tubes are able to withstand high pressure and high temperatures up to 620 °F. These tubes also facilitate easier repairs with quick connects. Power-saving system – Decreases the pressure in the steam boiler when the X is not in active use. PID Controller: Preset Temperature programming – Allows you to select from 3 different boiler temperature ranges for different coffee blends. Pre-set Temperatures Modes – With each mode comes three pre-set temperatures, which are warm, hot, and extra hot. Steam and coffee temperature detection – Performed two times per second and modifies the settings, depending on if the unit is given priority to coffee mode or steam mode. Double probe system – Sustains the brew temperature in order to consistently make the best shots of espresso. Silent Technology Efficient and quieter vibration pump – New Lelit Exclusive vibration pump that permits you to brew your espresso in your now utmost silent kitchen. Additionally, it provides water flow that gives you the flexibility to make all different types of coffee using different roasts. Cost-effective – Pumps will degrade in performance over time. Replacing a vibration pump will cost less than a rotary vane pump. Tank / reservoir system: Auto-shutoff – Prevents the heating element from damaging when there is no or low water in the reservoir. There is a two-stage shut off. There is a magnetic float in the water tank that detects when the water is low. The other is the spring-activated plate underneath the water tank that detects when the tank is removed. Particle filter – Protects the machine from any unseen particles from entering the boiler. You can remove this filter if you are installing an inline water softener. This machine cannot be plumbed in Always refill the tank / reservoir outside of the machine Dual pressure gauge: Steam (boiler) pressure gauge – Top half of boiler, which has steam, is measured. Measurement is from 0 to 4 bar. Optimal pressure is between 0.8 and 1.2. Brew pressure gauge – This gauge measures the pump pressure required to get the water through t
