<p>Overview</p> <p>Make the most of your Kitchen counter space with the LELIT Mara X Espresso Machine. A compact, uber-consistent heat exchanger that prioritizes espresso quality over everything else, the Mara X eschews traditional espresso machine wisdom to make some of the best espresso in its segment. Unlike traditional heat-exchange machines that set steam pressure directly at the boiler, the Mara X uses a second sensor at the group to target brew temperatures first. A physical toggle behind the drip tray lets you set from 3 temperatures (197, 201, or 205 degrees); while a switch on the side of the machine offers two selectable brew modes. For espresso, select ‘Xmode Coffee’ to get the best temp consistency for coffee-only drinks. Switch to ‘Xmode steam’ to increase steam pressure after brewing for better milk frothing. More than just a technical marvel, the Mara X features a bevy of barista-saving benefits too: silent pump design, long-ramp preinfusion, a dual pump and steam pressure gauge, optional standby mode, an ergonomic portafilter, and a custom-fit precision tamper right out of the box. Between its high-tech temp management and user-centric design, the Mara X makes an excellent coffee companion for any enthusiast.</p> <p>Key Product Features</p> <p>Compact Espresso Machine – The Mara X’s 9×16 footprint makes it one of the smallest prosumer machines on the market.<br> Temperature Stability – A patented dual-probe temperature management setup makes the Mara more sensitive to brew temps than E61-style machines.<br> Brew or Steam Priority – Choose either ‘Steam X’ mode for brew+steam flexibility, or ‘Brew X’ mode for a espresso-only experience.<br> Custom Pump – A specially designed pump offers quieter operation and a long pressure ramp that functions as a soft preinfusion.<br> Adjustable Temperature – A dedicated 3-way switch lets you choose your Mara X’s brew temperature (197, 201 or 205 degrees).<br> Handmade in Italy – All Lelit machines are built by hand in Italy, and are available in stainless steel, black, and white colorways.</p> <p>Specifications</p> <p>Manufacturer: LELIT<br> Model Number: pl62x<br> Skill Level: Intermediate<br> Dimensions:</p> <p>Width: 8.7 inches<br> Height: 13.75 inches<br> Depth: 16.25 inches</p> <p>Shipping Weight: 53.0 lbs<br> Materials:</p> <p>Exterior: Stainless Steel</p> <p>Power:</p> <p>Amps: 15A<br> Wattage: 1250W<br> Voltage: 120V</p> <p>Boiler:</p> <p>Design: Heat Exchanger<br> Material: Stainless Steel<br> Volume: 1.8L</p> <p>Auto On: No<br> Certified to NSF/ANSI Standards: No<br> Cup Warmer: Yes<br> Pre-Infusion/Aroma: Yes<br> Reservoir Size: 2.5L<br> Solenoid Valve: Yes<br> Warm Up: Brew Time: 20 minutes<br> Warranty: 1 Year Seattle Coffee Gear Warranty<br> Water Sources: Reservoir/Internal Tank<br> Cup Clearance: 4.5 inches<br> Pod Friendly: No<br> Portafilter Size: 58mm</p>
