Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Lelit Mara X, is priced at $1,699.95 and is classified as a semi-automatic espresso machine, suitable for intermediate users. In contrast, Machine 2, the Lelit Anna, is priced more affordably at $569 and is designed for beginners. Both machines are produced by Lelit, a brand known for its quality espresso equipment.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Mara X activates using a lever mechanism, has a heat exchanger primary heating element, and takes approximately 15-30 minutes to heat up, with a water reservoir capacity of 2.5 liters. Conversely, the Lelit Anna activates with a toggle switch, features a single boiler heating element, and has a quicker heat-up time of 5-15 minutes, along with a slightly larger water reservoir at 2.7 liters. The group type for the Mara X is E61, while the Anna uses the Lelit57 group type.

Features Comparison

When comparing key features, the Lelit Mara X includes attributes such as auto shutoff, concurrent brew and steam capabilities, and pre-infusion, which enhances brewing control. The Anna lacks an auto shutoff and pre-infusion but still offers important features like a boiler pressure gauge and hot water function. Both machines include a solenoid valve and steam wand, but the Mara X boasts a no-burn wand, enhancing safety during use.
