Lelit MaraX
The Lelit MaraX V2 is the most refined heat-exchanger espresso machine in its class — a prosumer machine that gets out of your way and lets you pull great shots. Lelit's patent-pending double-probe HX system actively manages brew and steam temperature, removing the cooling flushes traditional HX machines require. Walk up, switch on, and 24 minutes later you're pulling café-grade espresso.
Hand-built in Italy with an L58E commercial group, 1.8L stainless steel boiler and silent Ulka vibration pump, the MaraX shares design DNA with the flagship Lelit Bianca in a compact "E61 box" footprint. The Xmode button lets you prioritise brew temperature (for back-to-back shots) or steam pressure (for milk-heavy work).
Each Lelit MaraX comes with a complimentary gift: three 250g bags of Kiss the Hippo specialty espresso coffee (George Street Blend, Donna, and Fruitopia), curated to help you explore your machine's full flavour range.
We don’t label our coffee as espresso or filter. Instead, for each coffee we create a unique roasting profile, designed to bring out the best flavours from its origin, farm and milling method. That’s why, instead, we label our coffee based on the experience it brings to the cup.
