Product Description
Flow control. Elevated design. Absolute control — at home.With LELIT coffee machines, you don’t simply make coffee — you craft an experience. "MaraX3" opens a new chapter for LELIT as the first product of LELIT’s new visual design language, developed in collaboration with "Design Group Italia".As the flagship of this new generation, "MaraX3" introduces a feature traditionally reserved for far more expensive machines — electronic flow control — into a compact HX espresso machine. It combines advanced extraction control, the renowned temperature stability of "MaraX", and a refined, contemporary design that fits effortlessly into modern home environments."PAGAIA" FLOW CONTROL – MORE CONTROL, BETTER COFFEEThe "Pagaia" electronic flow control system gives you direct, intuitive control over extraction by regulating pump power in real time. By smoothly rotating the side-mounted lever, you can precisely adjust water flow and pressure during brewing, allowing each shot to be perfectly tailored to different coffees, roast levels, and recipes.Because flow is regulated electronically rather than mechanically, "Pagaia" ensures smooth, consistent performance over time, without wear-related variability.Pressure changes are clearly displayed on the double manometer, making advanced extraction techniques not only possible, but repeatable and accessible at home — whether you prefer classic espresso or more experimental profiles.DESIGN, MATERIALS & TACTILE EXPERIENCE"MaraX3" introduces a refreshed design language that enhances both aesthetics and daily usability. Premium materials, improved ergonomics, and distinctive details deliver a refined tactile experience, while maintaining the compact footprint that made "MaraX" so popular.Key design highlights:- Signature side ribbon with visible screws, defining the new LELIT visual identity- Iconic gem-shaped knobs and lever, redesigned for improved grip and tactile feedback- Side-mounted "Pagaia" lever for intuitive, precise, and progressive flow control- New double manometer, clearer and more contemporary than on "MaraX"- Redesigned drip tray with wire grate, easier to remove and clean- New ergonomic portafilter with metal core and extended wooden handle for improved balance and leverage- Redesigned tamper with geometric profile, coordinated with machine controls- New high-feet kit with wooden cylindrical feet for improved stability, easier movement, and simpler countertop cleaning- Premium wood finishes for a cohesive, high-end lookTECHNICAL FEATURESGroup head- L58E group with mechanical pre-infusion compatible with LELIT58 barista toolsBrewing system- Double-probe HX system with thermosyphon circulation (patent pending)- New ultra-quiet pump by CEME, delivering smoother and quieter operation compared to previous generations- Heating-up time: approx. 15 minutes for steam and hot water; only a few minutes more for brewing (vs. ~24 minutes on "MaraX")Settings- Temperature configuration button (Warm – Hot – Extra Hot)- Mode setting button ("Xmode Coffee" or "Xmode Steam")- Stand-by functionControl- ON/OFF stainless-steel back-lit switch and extraction lever- Electronic flow control system: "Pagaia"Shot control- Active "Reserve Mode"Manometer- Double manometer for pump and steam pressure with renewed designMaterials / finishes- Black appliance body- Zebrano wood knobs, lever, high-feet, portafilter, and tamper- Side ribbon with screws on both sidesDelivery wands- Anti-burn multidirectional steam wand with a 3-hole nozzle- Anti-burn hot water wand with professional spring-closure tapsInterface- Machine-ready and/or warming-up LED- Lack-of-water-in-the-tank or no-tank LEDAdditional features- Cup warmer rack- New drip tray with wire grate designed for easier cleaning- Discharge nozzle for post-dispensing water discharge- Mug-friendlyCapacity- Boiler: 1.8 l with an AISI316L stainless-steel heat exchanger- Water tank: 2.5 lDELIVERED WITH:- LELIT58 two-way portafilter with zebrano wood handle and "Coffee Slide" spout (new iconic gem-shaped design)- LELIT58 single filter (9–11 g), IMS- LELIT58 double filter (14–18 g), IMS- LELIT58 double filter (18–21 g), IMS- LELIT58 blind filter for backflushing, IMS- LELIT58 stainless-steel tamper with zebrano wood handle and new iconic gem-shaped design- Cup rack- 70 l water softener filter- First cleaning kit (envelope with 3 single-dose detergent powder bags, 1 single-dose bottle, L58E group gasket)- Small brush with nylon bristles for group head cleaning- High-feet kit (box including easy assembly instructions)
