Why would you characterize the reason for the 3-position temperature switch as "if you like your coffee hot"? The switch is to allow for tailoring brew temperature to coffee roast level and/or other parameters such as pressure, flow rate, and grind size.
I'm a bit in a mess with either the Elisabeth or the MaraX it seems the Elisabeth has more features and options and the heating time is shorter better water heat is more stable.

Nice to have Rebecca back on a channel)
Great job
Can you add a shot timer?
You cannot add one onto the machine, however using a regular timer works just as well :)
yes you can. Google for Lelit Mara X shot timer and find yourself a tinkerer who can build one for you. I have 3D printed one for myself.
Ypu ought to flush the milk wand to prevent a blockage.
