Half year update on the Lelit Mara X

Hey guys it’s been awhile. just wanted to give you my official 6 month update on the lelit and how it’s been going with me so far!

[@ZethAkadi]

I’m happy to see you’re having fun with the Lelit. Please keep us updated!

[@CCCulture947]

I try when I can!

[@ignitionr34]

Like the videos! And your latte art is looking better. I recently got a bambino and awaiting my niche grinder. Super excited as this is an upgrade to my Nespresso!

[@CCCulture947]

Oh that a great grinder! That sounds like really nice upgrade

[@lazatroncic]

Thanks for sharing your experience with this wonderful machine. To enhance your latte art technique, be advised to use cups that gets wider at the top. It will be much easier than using that tall narrow one.

[@CCCulture947]

I completely agree with you, but I enjoy drinking more from these kinds of mugs

[@jameshevernen2433]

Did you powder coat the chrome section of your grinder? Looks awesome

[@giankytaddy4332]

Tutto perfetto. Volevo sapere come hai impostato la macchina, modalità caffè o modalità vapore? Grazie

[@simonshandrinov9079]

Jfyi, along with cup change for the latte art purposes, there is one more thing. Crema density and texture matters. After I started steaming milk prior to the shot, the quality of my latte art increased dramatically)

I notice you have your Mara X under the kitchen cabinets. Did you change the feet? I found filling the water tank difficult. Sliding the machine out to where I could get to the water tank was near impossible. At one point I was using my machine and it refused to supply water because the water level was too low. I couldn't get my head in there enough to see the water level. Couldn't get the water tank out but lifted it enough to see it was quite low. Moving it to an island where I can just peak inside the water tank has really helped a lot.

I bought the Normcore puck screen too. I couldn't justify the price of a B-Plus puck screen but I have seen a review from someone who bought both the Normcore and the B-Plus. They found there was more consistency with the B-Plus. I still like my Normcore puck screen because it makes less need to clean the group head.

[@givemekape2418]

really great video. love seeing videos by real home baristas as opposed to youtube personalities. They don't all have bad intentions, but you can only give so honest of a review if you were sent something for free.

[@CCCulture947]

Thank you that really means a lot! Coffee is just a fun hobby that I happen to record about lol

[@vernaabdelmasih5063]

I dont like coffee, I’m watching these for you! Because you’re cute ❤️

[@CCCulture947]

You're the best! Thank you ❤

[@djzaki]

I'm reporting this comment

[@alexkurta]

Thank you

[@oogboog542]

You always make my week ☺️

[@Dani-hh3qd]

Really interesting and enjoyable video, thanks! I think this Lelit will be my future machine. It looks sooooo good

[@CCCulture947]

You can't go wrong with it, but i'd also keep an eye out on the new profitec pro 400 also!

[@AliAhmed-p1o]

Can you send me a link to your scale?

[@rxonmymind8362]

Cool vid. Your machine you do you. As for me I wish they would make an espresso machine thst didn't look like it came out of a dentist office.

[@RAIIYN]

Would you still recommend a manual grinder? If so which one?

[@CCCulture947]

I only had the 1zpresso jx pro and I think its a solid buy still . The only reason I got the crono was to save some time in the morning before heading off to school.

[@knoe8079]

Still loving this machine? Any issue so far?

[@CCCulture947]

I love it! And the best part is that it is upgradable so it can grow with you! 😌

[@jamespahuyo6214]

Awesome !

[@samehsoliman7182]

First 🔥

[@emannashed8855]

Your art is so professional👌

[@DentalLyfe]

Second 🔥🔥

[@friendlyghostkinda]

Do you keep it on during the day?

[@CCCulture947]

No I have it plugged into a smart plug. So it has scheduled times that I can turn it off and on so it’s ready to go throughout the day 👌

[@nickvoulelis1707]

You said you upgraded from the bambino plus? I’m torn between that machine and this machine (used). Which would you recommend for a first machine?

[@anamcdonald6626]

bambino… not the plus just the regular one :)

[@MrArdytube]

Nice video. Thx

[@CCCulture947]

Glad you liked it!

[@seano12]

Is the water from the hot water wand drinkable? Or is it going to taste bad enough to ruin americanos?

[@CCCulture947]

From my experience I would leave it off to the side for about 1 min to use it for the Americano. The water comes out way too hot

[@seano12]

@@CCCulture947 What about the taste?

[@owentalsky]

I have the same exact milk jug

[@CCCulture947]

I like it a lot . It’s pours really well compared to others I’ve tried just wish it was chrome so it would be easier to clean.

[@olgamiroshnichenko3353]

Could you please share the brand of this milk jug

[@Mm-ym3se]

How do u tell if this is a 2022 or 2021 year build

[@CCCulture947]

For the lelit just the badge is the only way to know. For the crono sadly just the burrs
