Know before you buy

The MaraX is designed for efficiency and will be ready to brew in under 24 minutes. This is significantly faster than many other E61-style machines on the market.
Yes, the MaraX is remarkably compact for a professional-grade machine. At only 22.5 cm wide, it is designed to fit comfortably in most home kitchens without sacrificing performance.
Yes, the machine features a simple temperature adjustment switch located under the drip tray. You can toggle between three pre-set temperature profiles to suit different roast levels and flavor preferences.
