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.

Harper ★★★★★

The double-probe system means I never have to think about temperature surfing — every shot runs steady from start to finish. It’s been three weeks and my milk texture is finally dialed in, which says a lot coming from a beginner.

Olivia N. ★★★★★

I was a bit worried about temperature stability on a heat exchanger, but the double-probe system is genuinely something else. Steam pressure stays rock solid while I’m pulling back-to-back shots, and the boiler recovered fast enough that I could froth milk right after without waiting.

Sophia J. ★★★★★

The double-probe setup keeps the temperature rock steady even when I’m pulling back-to-back shots, which was my biggest frustration with my last machine. The steam power is also a huge upgrade — I froth milk for two lattes before the boiler even blinks.
