Very nicely put together, thank you!
Thanks for watching 🙂
Thanks for this vid for the v2. I am wondering what's the major difference of the L58E group used here vesus the traditional E61? Thanks.
Thanks for watching. The Mara X group head is E61 but Lelit now calls it L58E group. It is typically similar using 58mm portafilter and accessories, but L58E group has a dedicated spare part kit by Lelit. I believe it is for the pre-infusion method which Mara X has to differentiate themselves from other standard E61.
Cool video (and I even like the music 😁)!
Is there a way to control the OPV in the Lelit MaraX? Can I configure the pressure, for example by turning a screw or something?
Thanks for watching and the kind words! Yes, the OPV can be regulated to control the brew pressure by turning the valve clockwise / anticlockwise with a small spanner.
hahahaa nice video, not many channel that talk about v2. I hope you can make more detailed video about x steam mode and x coffee mode. if you switch from 1 to 0 (or otherwise), is the machine needs time to stabilize the temperature ? (without changes the temperature button) thankyouuuu!! 👌
Thanks for the feedback Ian! 🙏👊
Yes, I agree that there's not much info about the MaraX V2 yet. I hope this simple video helps a little!
Great video mate. Glad somebody put a light on v2 finally. I’ve purchased Lelit MaraX V2 yesterday evening(not delivered yet). Still not sure how to feel about the missing pure HX setting is gone. Do you think the new software works better ?
Congrats and thanks for the kind words mate!
I'm not sure who would buy the MaraX but not use its smart coffee priority mode that it's intended for, and to use the traditional uncontrolled HX mode. Therefore, the new software in V2 to remove the pure HX setting is a practical and more useful one in my opinion. I doubt anyone would miss the pure uncontrolled HX mode.
@@bunbunespresso8124 Thank you for your kind and fast response mate! I was reading/choosing a coffee machine and a grinder about 2 years before I pull a shot on Lelit MaraX and in the end I was kind of confused with the new “0 Xmode”. Thanks to you now getting even more anxious on delivery of that beauty :-)
Hii.. just want to ask. In prev version (v1) this machine when we used coffee priority (X mode) can boost steam pressure after brewing coffee or not?
Hi, I believe it's possible. U can try lifting the brew lever for few seconds and lowering it to see if there is any increase in steam pressure.
Brilliant vid, thank you! I have a MaraX V1. I want to buy the gicar for V2, could you possibly open yours up and let me know what exact software version is on the label on your gicar electronic card for me? Apparently it is V1.9 of software (confusingly when it for the V2 machine!). Thanks in advance!
Thanks, I believe the latest Gicar is 1.09.
@@bunbunespresso8124 Thanks - do you mean 1.90? I already have 1.23 from 2020!
1.09 from 2022
@@bunbunespresso8124 brill, thank you
Great video! Would you say the Mara X is an upgrade from Breville Barista Express? What I dislike about the BBE is that it has 54mm portafilter and the steam is very slow to turn on.
Thanks for watching! ❤
I do not have the BBE but I've seen so many praises about it. If those you mentioned are hindering your joy of making a good cup, you may want to check out other machines to try out first before upgrading. I have no issue with steaming on my MaraX.
It boils down to how you define upgrade. It could mean better technical function, or more enjoyable workflow, or better looks for some. Cheers! 😉
FYI, the Dual Boiler has a 58mm portafilter, so just speaking personally that is the one I would rather compare with the Lelit. Also the price has come down a lot on it (~$850 new where I live). Tough decision :)
@@Shadowguy456234 Yes, both are very capable machines for home use with 58mm portafilter. It really depends on your personal preference on their looks / function / price / workflow enjoyment etc.
Mara X is a definite upgrade. Another consideration is serviceability with the Lelit over the Breville, heat exchanger vs a single boiler.
Join me in buying one of these beauties mate. I'll be getting one in the next couple of weeks - still agonising over which grinder to go with but leaning towards one of the Eurekas.
The temperature switch still baffles me. Why not do sequential temperatures?
Quick Q on this machine Mara X V2. On Position 1 - X Mode Steam. Would the brew temp to be stable enough for me to make espresso, latte, then espresso. So 3 coffee in succession. My question is, would the brew head temp be stable enough between the 1st and 3rd espresso to have the consistency using the same bean and grinder setting? Thanks.
Hi, I have no issue with four back-to-back shots in X-Mode Steam (1) using the same bean.
@@bunbunespresso8124 thanks. So just pull and shot for 4 espresso in row and the brew head temp is stable enough to have any noticeable differences, right?
Yes, no difference for me, and I don't think the vast majority would be able to tell any difference in a blind taste test.
@@bunbunespresso8124 thanks a lot
Very cool video, though I had to fight the urge to dance while watching XD Personally I'm torn between this machine and the Sage/Breville Dual Boiler since it has a 58mm portafilter and a compelling price.
Thanks for watching. I take it as a compliment! 🤣 Tough decision!
@@bunbunespresso8124 Welcome. No kidding - I forgot to mention the prices, the Sage is $850 new here while the Mara X is either $920 (with the wrong plug) or $1280 (right plug) :) Honestly I think I will only know whether I made the right decision several years after the purchase... so see you then!
The Sage dual boiler is definitely a steal! The Sage has the modern tech like a smartwatch, while the MaraX has the classic beauty like a mechanical watch. I think they are both great tools and you will enjoy with either one. Good luck and cheers!
@@bunbunespresso8124 That is an amazing analogy 😂 I actually decided to wait on an espresso machine, I am going to buy a decent grinder first - I'm settled on the Eureka Oro Mignon Stark 65 based on the price ($490 for me) and feature set. While I wait to see how prices develop I can learn the ropes playing around with grinds for my moka pot and Aeropress :)
@@bunbunespresso8124 Sooooo in the end I did get the dual boiler. It went on sale for $800 from a local retailer and I folded like a deck of cards! I'm looking forward to it :)
But you know that technically, whether you buy a Breville or a Lelit nowadays, you're getting a Breville... 😅
Is still the same stainless steel boiler or do they downgraded now to a copper boiler?
Hi, it is the same - stainless steel boiler.
Thanks for the video. The temperature setting for me is still a mystery. Never ever got the brewing temp down to 90° when setting is on 0. I have everything between 93 an 97°. Despite coffee brewing is fine. No complains. Anybody has a tip how to handle the temperature problem? Greetings from Zurich, Switzerland
Thanks for watching! Was the machine in Xmode Coffee (0) when you tested? I think that the temperature setting on 0 will range between 87°-93°, optimised at 90°.
@@bunbunespresso8124 yes. Xmode and in 0. But temperature way ober 90°. Minimum at 93°....sonsor problem?
I'm no expert to determine if it's a sensor fault. But u may try to get the temperature to stabilise first (make the machine idle awhile) before testing out again.
When you turn on the machine, leave it for 30 to 35 minutes, then start using it after that. The temperature should be stable at your desired setting
would have been good to fix the feet and the drip tray footings
Yes some will either love or hate them. Although it compliments the MaraX design, I agree that the short feet can be annoying when you need to move the machine around. I have added sliders to the feet to solve this. I got no issue with the drip tray footings. 😉
The feet are complete crap, yes. But I still love mine.
Basically the opv vent to tank is the one real upgrade
Totally!
@@bunbunespresso8124 and totally worth getting!
@@ironmantooltime J
Just for that feature upgrade from V1? Nup.
@@geokar the thing pumps out water constantly. Sure swapping a v1 for a v2 just for that would be questionable. Is it worth $100? Easily.
Did they change the standby times ? I have the v.2 and it doesn’t go standby mode after 30 min 🧐
Same here
Hi, you may want to check if your standby mode is disabled.
Have uou adjusted your OPV or was it at about 9 out of the box?
Yes I adjusted my OPV. The original setting should be around 10.5 bar if I remembered clearly.
I thought the mara doesn't need back flush, does it?
It's not really a backflush but a trick to boost the steam pressure.
I have lelit Mara X PL62X Made 03/2022. How i know this is V1 or V2 ? Thanks you
Hi, yours should be a V2 since it's made in 2022. V2 comes with the black LELIT logo in front. Cheers!
@@bunbunespresso8124 I think the previous red embossed logo looked smarter - pity
Looks may be subjective 😄
Can you adjust the OPV pressure externally now? What pressure is it set to from the factory?
There is no change in the OPV location. Mine was set at 10.1 bar from the factory, but I adjusted it to 9 bar.
Can you teach me how to adjust?
It's pretty simple. I can try making a video on this.
@@bunbunespresso8124 And for this , you will get my Sub. Have you done that video already ? Cheers.
Needs a PID
It’s just the other way around. 1=Xmode coffee 0=xmode steam
Hi, it's the opposite if you refer to the latest user manual for this new version V2.
This or bellezza chiara?
Hi, I'm not sure about the Chiara, but I suggest trying them both at your local store (if possible) to see what you like.
Im between Bezzera BZ10 and lelit v2 BZshorter heating time were Lelit seems to have the better water/ pressure pomp less noizy
