Lelit MaraT

Overview

The Lelit MaraT is the latest evolution of the groundbreaking Mara X platform, incorporating refinements based on years of community feedback. The T designation signals an updated LCC control center with touchscreen capability, improved temperature management algorithms, and enhanced build quality in key areas. Like its predecessor, the MaraT features the innovative brewing priority mode that eliminates the need for temperature surfing — the bane of traditional heat exchanger machines. The single 1.5-liter boiler with heat exchanger system is managed by sophisticated electronics that maintain brew water temperature within a tight window without the wasteful flushing rituals required by conventional HX machines. The MaraT retains the E61 group head for excellent thermal stability and broad accessory compatibility, and the updated LCC provides clearer temperature information and more intuitive navigation. Steam performance remains strong thanks to the generous boiler size. The vibratory pump is reliable and serviceable, while the 2.5-liter reservoir provides ample capacity. The MaraT continues the Mara X legacy of being the HX machine that even dual boiler advocates respect — a testament to Lelit engineering innovation.

The Lelit MaraT comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a heat exchanger boiler system made of stainless steel with a 1500 ml capacity. The vibratory pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $1,699, the Lelit MaraT is designed for dedicated prosumers who demand professional-grade equipment. The heat exchanger design provides steam-on-demand while maintaining brew temperature stability — a great middle ground between single and dual boiler machines.

In terms of build quality, the Lelit MaraT is a substantial machine, weighing in at 25.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 1200W of power. With dimensions of 290 x 413 x 400 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 2500 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
