Comparison PL62X MaraX V.1 and V.2

[@AzizIzgin]

After 2 years I still love my Mara X 👌🏻 Only downside is the squeaking leaver right after every back flush with detergent. This makes me want to use less detergent and do more back flush with only water more often. Otherwise I love it. Great video, thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

[@StefanusGoana]

Yes almost never use chemical for backflush. Perhaps once a month good enough if i remember LOL

[@morningcoffee1]

Hi Aziz, just lube itvwith Molykote 111 and it will be perfect again.

[@AzizIzgin]

@@morningcoffee1 I’ve bought a lub from my local coffee store and it is not resistant enough apparently. Right after the fist back flush I am back to square one aging. So you mean that it differs so much between the lub from brand to brand?

[@morningcoffee1]

@@AzizIzgin I actually used the Molekote 111 once last year and since then its great.

[@StefanusGoana]

I actually only do like once every 3 months because at cafe they do it everynight after 200 shots

[@ΔημήτρηςΔημόπουλος-ι6τ]

Version 2 the mode switch is reversed ...

[@erihsehc2]

great video, would you take a video showing the tempreture stability on xstream and off xsteam modes

[@StefanusGoana]

Hi there is already video about this on MaraX V.1 and V.2. Have a look at Lelit Insider channel

[@erihsehc2]

@@StefanusGoana i think they do not have that video on v2, it would be interesting to see the temperature variation on v2

Can you please help to compare bianca v2 and v3?

[@INQUESTFORTRUTH]

can you tell us more about the mods that you've done on both machines. thanks

[@StefanusGoana]

hi for V.2 i did not do any modification. but for V.1 i added walnut knowbs and handle. use a walnut wood bottomless portafilter to match finally added Pressure adjustment, it is meant for Bianca for it works fine so far on MaraX

[@pouyaedi851]

Can you help me to choose a machine between mara x and bezzera bz10?

[@StefanusGoana]

@@pouyaedi851 bro ofcourse MaraX. From the specs point of few. Stainless steel boiler Vs Copper brass

[@360TechBrews]

I now own the Rancilio Silvia v6. Do you recommend me to upgrade to Mara X v1 (currently on sale) for better workflow and coffee?

[@StefanusGoana]

Yessss a very big yes. If you happen to meet Biqnca V.2 on sale even better 😆

[@360TechBrews]

@@StefanusGoanaTthanks for the suggestion. I finally bought the Mara X v2. 😌

[@StefanusGoana]

@@360TechBrews glad to hear that. I bet you will enjoy it

[@Boutit031]

@@360TechBrews how are you finding it? Been doing my homework for the past few weeks and should be purchasing soon. Which grinder did you go with? Thanks in advance.

[@CarlosVargas-js8qz]

Let us know how you are liking the Mara X 2 ? Thanks

[@Igorjexa]

What about energy consumption by these machines? Do you keep it on standby?

[@StefanusGoana]

Only about 1250 watt. If you are planning to leave it for more than 6 hours then perhaps better to switch off

[@medroastt9888]

are you the lelit official distributor in Indo? (same as kitchenart?)

[@StefanusGoana]

Hi more than that, we probably the only who understand lelit machine inside out. But don't take my worda for granted, check them out yourself on Lelit's website below. If you want to buy machine just send us a whatsapp message lelit.com/lelit-worldwide/#

[@medroastt9888]

@@StefanusGoana ok bro, will take a look... thanks

[@woxiduswoxidus1167]

Hello, good comparison. What do you think about PID. Does lelit mara x require PID, is it have enough temperature stability?

[@andreasmik630]

It already has PID

[@SeyhunOzkayran]

Is there any duration difference while changing modes “X” to “1” for example ? You said that in V1 video , it takes 15 mins to changing mode

[@StefanusGoana]

Hi therr i think it was like a bug in the program. Basically when we turn off then turn on the machine again indicator light stop blinking. This shouldn't be a problem anymore

[@SeyhunOzkayran]

@@StefanusGoana thank you very much for your kind reply ☺

[@duppex3163]

What Grinder are you using. Cheers

[@StefanusGoana]

Hi in this picture i have Morph a china made grinder and Key by Webber

[@macktolentino8097]

do you think mara x can be uaed to a small cafe ?

[@StefanusGoana]

Many had done this in Indonesia

[@macktolentino8097]

@@StefanusGoana how many cups per day can make for mara x?

[@StefanusGoana]

@@macktolentino8097 maybe 50?

[@StefanusGoana]

50 cups in a span of like 6-8 hours.

[@macktolentino8097]

@@StefanusGoana thank you. im torn between mara x and the bianca but bianca is much ezpensive . do you think bianca can make more cupsv

[@rmnrm7288]

Very informative video👍.. For the price range and capability of maraX do you think this can support a starter cafe? I'm planning to get V2. Thank you!

[@StefanusGoana]

Yes why not, once you see good traffic then you can move this MaraX to home and get a bigger machine based on your projection

[@rmnrm7288]

Thank you and more power! Looking forward to your next video.😀

[@Joe_Andrus]

I don't think so based on the modest (home use) milk steaming capabilities, minimum for starter cafe would be Linea Mini to be honest. Pro-sumer machines are not built for the demands of a cafe. At the very least you would want a dual boiler, not an HX machine.

[@StefanusGoana]

@@Joe_Andrus linea mini perhaps too expensive Joe. Btw, do you know even 2 group machines like simonelli, faema or few others with e61group head are still HX. Your local cafe may use HX machine Joe

[@Joe_Andrus]

@@StefanusGoana Sure, but they feature much larger boilers and have been built for commercial usage. After a few drinks the Mara would need to recover and also lose its temperature stability. The question was about the Mara in a café setting. And I just don’t think it would be a good choice.

[@n863204]

Hello how about steam strength you feel~ V1 V2 thanks~

[@StefanusGoana]

Hi yes good point. Basically V.1 has the normal HX mode that produce stronger steam power but less temperature stability. In V.2 you only have Coffee mode which is just the same as coffee mode in V.1 X mode in V.2 provide lesser steam power but by choosing this mode you just need to wait longer for the steam pressure to go up to 1.5 bar

[@mohammedmesaoudi8707]

About the software firmware v2 is it possible to download it?

[@StefanusGoana]

Sorry you can't

[@ediblemanager]

I read elsewhere that Lelit were aiming to release a box that would attach to the V1 to provide the software update.

[@StefanusGoana]

@@ediblemanager i haven't heard that

[@ediblemanager]

@@StefanusGoana you can purchase a new Gicar box from some retailers to upgrade the V1. Unsure of warranty implications though.

[@StefanusGoana]

@@ediblemanager yes you are right. But the Card is not that cheap. You can simply wait until your curren card spoilt then change a new one, i don't think they still have stock of MaraX old card
