Know before you buy
The machine is ready for use in approximately 24 minutes. This is relatively fast for an E61-style machine, thanks to its optimized heating system.
Yes, the machine features a simple configuration system that allows you to choose between three different temperature settings. This gives you the flexibility to adjust for different roast profiles without needing complex software.
The MaraX uses a specialized silent pump that significantly reduces the vibration and noise typically associated with espresso machines. It is one of the quieter options in its class, making it ideal for home kitchens.
Because it uses a heat-exchanger (HX) system, you can pull shots and steam milk simultaneously. The steam boost function also helps maintain pressure for faster frothing.
The MaraX stands at approximately 13.98 inches tall. It is designed to be compact, but you should measure your specific clearance, accounting for the space needed to lift the water tank lid or place cups on the warmer.
Mechanical pre-infusion gently saturates the coffee puck with water before full pressure is applied. This helps prevent channeling and ensures a more even extraction, resulting in a more balanced and flavorful espresso.
