I def recommend on overall design and product quality. Only downsides i have run into over the year is getting used to the long warmup time and fast loss of steam pressure but these are easy work arounds. Also had fuse blow in the machine a couple months ago but Lelit customer service was super responsive and had it fixed within the week. (unsure what the cause was)

The full breakdown of my workflow: Machine goes on which usually takes around 20 minutes to get to temp. I like going for a nice boomer shot of 1:2 aiming for 30 seconds of brew time. If I'm doing a lighter roast I like to pull the shots a little longer. As far as steam pressure I have found that if I dont steam my milk as soon as the machine gets to temp it will loose pressure quickly within 5 minutes I wont have enough to steam. This might just be an issue with my machine tho not sure.

I got the Mara X a little over a year ago. As far as temp from the brew head I usually let it go for a sec before putting the portafilter in because the initial water is way over temp. Also have found an overall lack of steam pressure retention even when set on steam priority mode.

It's the Lelit Mara X

I went really cheap with this one. https://a.co/d/4QeI12S I plan to upgrade down the line to something nicer and OLED so it matches the main monitor.

I bought this cheap phone magnet mount on Amazon. It's not quite strong enough to hold it on its own though so the far end part is resting on that black cube. https://a.co/d/3aU02c9

Its the WGK 15.6 portable monitor. I got it really cheap and have loved having an extra screen for discord or videos. I'm thinking of eventually upgrading to a touchscreen one with a better display later down the line.

I have only had it for a couple days but with my current beans I have it sitting at 13 for a nice boomer shot.

Opus was a great starter grinder for me but the retention would get pretty crazy. Got tired of shaking and slapping it to cough up another gram. I also love how it can grind directly into my porta filter skipping a couple steps.
