2 Things to improve your espresso: 1. In Coffee Priority Mode the Lelit Mara X doesn't need a PreFlush 2. You should instantly start when your portafilter is put into the group head. If not, the coffee heats up and roasts Enjoy this wonderful machine and some good coffee ;-)
🙏🏻 Thanks for your help 👍🏻 Now after a month I do things a bit differently like you say :) It is always good to have a reminder though cause maybe sometimes the mind just focus on something else at the time 😊 I am loving it and have bought some new accessories. Do you also use Lelit machine? Have a wonderful day
:) Har du hört specialita i verkligheten? Jag har inte läst på om den andra du nämner men då jag köpte denna baserade jag det på hur tyst den var , att den hade den största platta malskivan av mignonserien, den enkla displayen och hastigheten den maler. Anledningen till min fråga till dig är att ljudet i inspelad video är alltid MYCKET högre än verkligheten… ljudet fokuserar på det som händer för mycket.
En till grej, kolla prisjakt ibland… jag köpte den för ca 4500kr om jag inte minns fel… tror att just min färg är dessutom lite dyrare än andra. Den är inte högljudd … hade en Lelit kvarn innan som var extrem,
@@AzizIzgin aha ok! Nej, har inte hört någon Mignon irl. Dessvärre finns det ingen butik att kolla i innan man beställer espressomaskin och kvarn för 30 papp... 😬 så har inte riktigt bestämt mig för vilka jag ska beställa.
Think the poor panel fit is down to the low price compared to other machines, on the plus side all parts seem readily available and Lelit have videos showing how to fix almost everything. On the functionality side this is a well sorted machine with many better features than pricier but better built machines.
Thanks for your comment. I don’t know if it has with the “after control “ that they’ve just missed it before packaging it. It is a solid machine otherwise. Plus, as you said… Lelit are very quick to answer and help with such problems. They compensated me… I don’t even the the bent part anymore 😊 I still love the machine as much as when it was new. I will probably never change machines since I mostly drink alone. I have learned a lot how this machine behaves. Will soon change the bar pressure to 9bars as many others and also maybe do “the bypass operation “ for the water tank.
Many thanks 🙏🏻 Always good times when I hear from other coffee enthusiasts 😊, makes me happy. With that particular bean I was at around 2-2,5 on the setting. After this video I have bought another brand of beans that are just a bit darker. I’ve now had a harder time to get the right time and dialing in these beans... Sometimes I try to go longer with the extraction time. I am now at around 27-30sec with 18gr in and 36-40 out. I don’t know why, either I don’t like the taste of them or I am doing something wrong haha , cause even though my timing is correct I still taste a bit of bitterness with them. When I just “ go by feeling “ and more look at the color the taste is a bit better . So I wanted to go back to my fist bag of coffee but the local store did not sell them anymore:) The scale I will buy will probably be a timemore black mirror scale. The one I have at home is not reliable at all... I am loving this setup I have, really couldn’t be happier. Even though I sometimes mess up I think it is part of the journey. I have now a smart plug with a timer so it is on when I normally would want to drink. Any recommendations are welcome:) Have a wonderful day my friend
Hi Yes I got it from ecafe:) They’ve been very helpful with the fee issues I’ve had. The cover /top lid for water tank was scratched (very little) and A tiny manufacturer mistake made them compensate me in accessories :) See my unboxing video , but think I show it there, first or second part… don’t remember which:) Do you know that dealer from before? I couldn’t be happier with this machine, really love it.🥰 It is a machine that I enjoy working with and every morning I set it to start automatically with a smart plug. Even when at work I can start it from my phone so it is ready when at home😅. Before I bought it I almost bought Lelit Elizabeth . I am really happy it went with Mara instead. Let me know how it turns out for you. I just created a ticket regarding a bizarre sound that sometimes occur between 4-6 bars… it doesn’t affect the making of the coffee but something has to be wrong. I am not worried at all that Lelit care will take care of it.
@@AzizIzgin thanks for the reply, yes I ordered a MaraX from them too, hopefully I ll get it this week, it is taking a bit of time to reach me, I m based in Ireland. Hope everything will be ok :) you opened a ticket directly with Lelit? Thanks again
@@glutoxim very nice:) You’re gonna love it. Yes, anything regarding the manufacturing I create a ticket directly to Lelit care. So far they’ve been very good in response time and answered any question I’ve had👌🏻 Ireland:), in my bucket list of places I want to visit sometime haha
It seems ok! :))) Horrendous over extraction. And beside that you nicely burnt you coffee by keeping it to much in conact with the burning shower head. But don't worry you will shortly learn how to pull a proper shot.
why o why you all people wait so long after putting your portafilter into machine before you actually start the extraction... do you need to roast that coffee just a bit more? please don't...
Thanks for your comment and your are absolutely right. One should not wait too long. This video is meant for practice and showing the machine and my experience. This looks very differently now over a month after the purchase when doing my routine without camera Have a lovely day!
@@juniorrrpb Nice :) Even though I am getting better sometimes I wonder what I am doing wrong. Regarding the 25-30 sec duration of extraction... I am starting the counting from when water touches the coffee, but my first drop really is between 10-12 seconds and that leaves the actual visual coffee in the cup at around 18-20 seconds. Really, sometimes, when I mess up , I don't know if it is the duration or not, also when I have messed up big, then it is also hard to know if it is bitterness or sourness I taste hahah, oh the world dilemma i have. How long do you wait for the first drop and how do you count? Sometimes when I let it go longer it tastes better. This morgning for example was perfect, the grind setting was at the point where I did not have to tamp hard at all, just gave it a little push to eaven it out a little bit after the distribution tool, Second thing I'd like to learn is to be more skilled when it comes to emptying the basket after having pulled a shot and cleaning it so it can faster be ready for the next shot. I spend too much time in this situation :) And when I am ready it seems as if the machine is in "another cycle of heating" since the water coming out of the brew head is a bit steamy (depending on how long time I take before I want to pull the next shot). I haven't learned yet how it behaves if leaving it for a while or if pulling back to back shots. However I am pretty satisfied with my progress with the machine. I absolutely made the right choice of machine , loving every single day with it. One slight issue I am having at the moment ..I haven’t really done much research yet but my machine/pump is starting to make a squeaking “ noise just right before it wants to maximize the pressure to 10bars. At first I thought I had gone too far /fine in grind settings but it is making the noise even at coarse settings. It does not do it every time. Yesterday I wanted to make a video but that time it did not do it:) It seems as if it is having a hard time pushing/pumping through the water? Sounds like an old door that’s has not been oiled in a long time…” . So far I havent't cleaned the steam wand with detergent, can that have something to do with it?
Realistically though, the grouphead is only at about 85c just sitting. The water will raise temps into the 90ish degrees C range. Also, I am sure roasters run their ovens much hotter than 85c.

Vet du vad skillnaden mellan Eureka Mignon Manuale (3000:-) och Eureka Mignon Specialita (5000:-) är? Trodde Specialita var tyst? 🤔
:)
Har du hört specialita i verkligheten?
Jag har inte läst på om den andra du nämner men då jag köpte denna baserade jag det på hur tyst den var , att den hade den största platta malskivan av mignonserien, den enkla displayen och hastigheten den maler.
Anledningen till min fråga till dig är att ljudet i inspelad video är alltid MYCKET högre än verkligheten… ljudet fokuserar på det som händer för mycket.

Nice setup Aziz! Pretty amazing first attempt without scales! What grind setting do you have your Mignon on?
Many thanks 🙏🏻
Always good times when I hear from other coffee enthusiasts 😊, makes me happy.

Hi Aziz, you got the Mara from ecafe? All ok with the shipment and the machine so far?
Hi
Yes I got it from ecafe:)
They’ve been very helpful with the fee issues I’ve had. The cover /top lid for water tank was scratched (very little) and A tiny manufacturer mistake made them compensate me in accessories :)
See my unboxing video , but think I show it there, first or second part… don’t remember which:)
Do you know that dealer from before?
I couldn’t be happier with this machine, really love it.🥰
It is a machine that I enjoy working with and every morning I set it to start automatically with a smart plug. Even when at work I can start it from my phone so it is ready when at home😅.
