EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Breville Oracle Touch, has a MSRP of $2799.95 and is categorized as a Semi-Automatic machine suitable for Intermediate skill level users. In contrast, the Lelit Mara X is priced at $1699.95, also falling under the Semi-Automatic category, appealing to Intermediate skill level users as well. Both machines are designed for users who are familiar with espresso making but may not be experts.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Breville Oracle Touch utilizes a Touch Screen for activation and features a Dual Boiler with a heat-up time of 15-30 minutes. On the other hand, the Lelit Mara X activation method is Lever-based and uses a Heat Exchanger as its primary heating element, also with a heat-up time of 15-30 minutes. Both machines have a stainless steel boiler material and a water reservoir capacity of 2.5 liters; however, the Lelit Mara X includes a Chrome Plated Brass brew group with an E61 group type, distinguishing it from the Oracle Touch.

Features Comparison

When looking at key features, the Breville Oracle Touch includes automatic shutoff, integrated grinder, PID control, and pre-infusion, among others. The Lelit Mara X shares some of these features like auto shutoff and pre-infusion but lacks an integrated grinder, boiler pressure gauge, and offers an over pressure valve. Both machines offer concurrent brewing and steaming capabilities and hot water features, yet they differ in the specifics of their gauge features and control options available.
