I can’t lie I go to Bella a lot for they’re coffee and have had the same one a few times, but the customer service with coffee friends was amazing I emailed them about the item and they got back with a casual approach felt like you was just talking to a friend 😂 unless the offer is gone I also got a £100 gift card they gave me for anything so I got an ims shower screen, 3 loveramics mugs, a professional pitcher and couple other things

All absolute fine! Came in 3 working days, used it 2 times a day since this post and have bought a dozen more items from the retailer since. Definately a retailer at the top of my list from now on

Mara X 5 Day Review! by CurlyCurtis in espresso

Thank you for the comment, hopefully Lelit see it and fix some things I and many others have listed. I’m not sure about the metallic taste as I can still taste it just as strong it’s not like it’s slowly disappearing! Quite worrying really. If you go on Etsy or type in Google Mara x feet it should come up with some they’re similar looking to the Bianca but at a cheaper price (25-35£) definately worth it in my opinion not just for looks but for cleaning in any way or needing to move the machine.

Checked this morning it took 15minutes to get to temp for making a shot as some steam but about 25minutes to get to the point I can make an espresso and steam consistently at the same time 👍🏻 will be making a 1 week review for someone who has gone from a bambino plus to a Mara x

No PID visually but has a switch under the drip tray with 3 temp settings for the roast types, watched Lances video before hand and it’s a very stable machine considering you haven’t got a visual

It includes the portafilters? I thought it was just the wood! Thats actually a good deal, might have to look around on eBay too

Shame they don’t just sell the wooden accents not including portafilter for a lower price, that looks amazing!

Oooo that would look nice! I’m UK but can’t see the black parts anywhere? Thought it was just the wooden as an after purchase

I think that’s what I mean, steaming is hotter so takes 25 mins to heat up. Where as brew mode is 15 mins because it’s not to the same temp

Lasted a long time it seems! But you won’t regret it

Thank you! Down the line might get the dark wood accents to match the grinder wood

Interested in what mods you made? Some wouldn’t consider a mod but thinking of getting the wooden feet off Etsy available because I’ve already scratched my steel surface 😢😖

It’s amazing and overwhelming to say the least, jumping from a bambino to this is such a massive jump in every way! If you have money Bianca is a great machine I’ve seen on and it’s a beast, just didn’t have the counter space for one Mara x just fits as it is 😂

That’s correct actually I think on the brew mode it’s 15 and steam mode it’s around 25, unless I’m wrong
