This machine exceeds my expectations, coming from a Delonghi Dedica, I was never sure on what I was missing in the cup.
Having the Mara X for a month now, I understand! What a joy to be able to have a super balanced cup of Light Roast Ethiopian coffee, whereas before with Dedica was limited to dark roast and even then the consistency was lacking.
All in all, I'm in love! The only downside is feel like pulled the trigger too early, Lelit is holding an event mid October for it's 40 years and they probably will update the Mara X then. I will try my best not to have FOMO 😅
Next step for me will be to add flow control, anyone has experience with it on Mara X?

Congratulations! Though I was under the , possibly mistaken, impression that it was the grinder that made the difference for lighter roasts….
Don’t say the “E” word. The itch to upgrade will come sooner than u want it to lol.
Every espresso machine I have owned I said the same thing. I’m into my 9th machine and fortunately I have owned it for going on 5 years and still happy with it. I hope you stay happy with yours! Sometimes the hunt if more fun than the catch???
For many in this sub a Mara is only the start. I own a Mara myself and haven’t had the urge to upgrade since day one. With a few upgrades, it’s a easy to work with and makes consistent good espresso. Enjoy it!
What grinder is that
