However when set to steam mode it’s really good. The steaming power is a bit weak when set to coffee mode but still way better than what I was used to with Breville. I paired it with Niche Zero and I’m enjoying amazing espresso. Sad they don’t include a bottomless pf like they do with the Bianca…Anyways all you need is a good WDT and use the Lelit tamper and you’ll be on your way to make great espresso. Also it comes with IMS filter baskets- they seem pretty legit precision baskets, single, double and triple. Ok back to positive- it comes with an awesome tamper - this is a true solid and beautiful tamper. This should be done by Lelit factory set to the industry standard of 9 bars. You have to unscrew several screws and open the top casing to adjust the brew pressure. Know that this machine comes from factory set at 10 bars. One complaint right out of the box is the fact that Lelit didn’t add an exposed adjustment for the OPV to bring the brew pressure down to 9 bars or lower. The features selecting preset brew temperatures for different roast types and the coffee/steam priority all work wonderful and it makes a very simple machine that it’s super easy to use a more capable and adjustable interface. Love the maple wood pf and the tactile experience with the steam and water knobs and lever. I come from a Breville Barista Express so this machine feels way more “premium or commercial”. Lelit should definitely correct that moving forward maybe for v3 I guess. So I’m fixing that by getting maple wood feet custom made (Etsy) so hopefully that will correct the problem also with moving the machine around. IMO it’s very aesthetically pleasing, love the black body with the maple wood, looking beautiful in my kitchen! I knew that it lacked in its feet, poorly designed and just tiny rubbery feet aren’t worthy of the overall machine and also for the price. It’s been a month using MaraX and I’m very pleased with it and the espresso that I’m able to produce.
