    MaraX has a PID, it's internal. Works a treat. I thought I'd miss having a visual temp guide, so for the first week or so I used a digital thermometer to measure the group head temp. Turns out it is totally consistent, so I don't bother now.

    I was sold too. No luck either in the UK. You have probably read my fiasco with Cafe Italia. Bella Barista were honest in their advice, that, when they made their category decision, they wouldn't sell enough to make a decent profit; when they have to buy them by the pallet load. I ended up...

    Yurp! I've accidentally found a new hobby. Someone in my office asked how's the new coffee machine, I got half way through talking through my workflow and they went "BORING!". Ha ha ha! This is a great forum where it seems we can share our dirty little coffee fascinations. Brilliant stuff. Will...

    LOL! I started researching espresso between Christmas and New Year. It went Sage with built-in grinder > Gaggia Classic > Gaggia Classic but with mods > Lelit Victoria > Lelit Marax. Laughed down my sleeve at YouTubers weighing beans and talking ratios. Geeks! Fast forward a few weeks and I've...

    @Cuprajake@DavecUK@Mrboots2u thank you all. God I love this forum.

    Not necessarily a question just for the Marax, I guess it goes for all machines, but what decision are others making about when to start timing a shot? Many say from when the pump starts. But Marax has pre infusion, so others say from first drip. I know, ultimately, it comes down to whether I...

    Hi Tony, Hope you're well. Please see my other posts below for the resolution with Coffe Italia. Yes, I pulled the trigger and went with the the Lelit Marax via Bella Barista. Loving it!

    Hi Tony, Sorry hear you've had the same experience as me. Here's my update on events this week. In short, I sent dozens of emails to Caffรจ Italia cancelling my order and requesting a refund. No response. I have spoken to Barbara multiple times, who would apologise and say she is forwarding my...

    Thank you BlackCat. Not stock either. I'll speak with Dave, who has been amazingly helpful with my grinder order.

    Thanks Andy, good advice. What's galling is I've spent Christmas reviewing machines online, bought bits and pieces (Lelit naked portafilter, Lelit water filters) and was seriously looking forward to some coffee lockdown bliss. Pah. Annoyed. Thinking I might wait. Nobody else seems to have them...

    I've made a beef curry. Does that count?

    (Head in hands) I wish I had found this thread earlier. I ordered my Lelit Victoria from Caffรจ Italia on 1st Jan 2021, and was told delivery would be tomorrow 12th Jan 2021. Not receiving any courier info, I chased up today, only to be told there is a 15 day delay and I should perhaps look at...

    Thank you@Paul_from_Oz! I have the PLA580V winging its way to me now. Thanks for going above and beyond Re the E61 portafilter info too.

    My new Lelit Victoria arrives next week and I want to buy a bottomless portafilter for it, but can't seem to find any Lelit ones for sale. Does anyone have a recommendation on what/where I should buy one please? Even 3rd party if you think it's good. I'm also thinking an 18 gr basket would...
