Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Lelit Mara X, is priced at $1,699.95 and is categorized as a semi-automatic espresso machine suited for intermediate skill levels. In contrast, Machine 2, the Lelit Victoria, is offered at a more budget-friendly price of $1,099 and is designed for beginners. Both machines are from the same brand, Lelit, emphasizing build quality and craftsmanship that appeals to coffee enthusiasts.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Mara X operates using a lever activation mechanism, features a stainless steel boiler, and utilizes a heat exchanger with a group type of E61. Its heat-up time ranges from 15 to 30 minutes. The Lelit Victoria, on the other hand, activates via buttons, employs a brass boiler, and has a single boiler system with a group type of Lelit58. It boasts a shorter heat-up time, ranging from 5 to 15 minutes, making it quicker to get started compared to the Mara X.

Features Comparison

When it comes to key features, the Lelit Mara X includes options like PID control, pre-infusion capability, and offers concurrent brew and steam functions. It also features a solenoid valve and a steam wand that ensures safety with a no-burn design. The Lelit Victoria has similar features, including PID control and pre-infusion, but lacks concurrent brew and steam functionality. Additionally, it offers a shot timer, which is absent in the Mara X, showing a more beginner-friendly approach in its features.
