DavecUK Snooze In your review of the MaraX you mentioned that there is nothing comparable to the MaraX on the market at this price point. To your knowledge, is it still the case? Anything else one should consider before buying it? It’s still the case (to the best of my knowledge) that there is no comparable HX on the market, that does what maraX does
Snooze DavecUK ok so the MaraX is THE HX to get for thermal stability. Otherwise the next improvement would be a dual boiler although I think you mentioned that even some DB don’t have that precision. Thanks for your response.
PortafilterProcrastinator DavecUK How similar is the Profitec Pro-400? Seems to be their equivalent, but not seen anything since Host.
DavecUK Snooze although I think you mentioned that even some DB don’t have that precision. All dual boilers I have published a review for, tested and produced recommended settings, all have even better precision/adjustability.
Snooze DavecUK so something like the Lelit Elizabeth would be more precise then? I’ll go reread both reviews!
DavecUK PortafilterProcrastinator Not heard much about it…but it’s might well be just skimming the lower edge of machines that interest me.
MediumRoastSteam What’s the appeal of the Arnos or the Pro-400? Is it a simple HX with a PID? (there are many others). Doesn’t the Pro-500 do exactly the same thing?
PortafilterProcrastinator MediumRoastSteam Pro-400 I understand it has three pre-set temps to select from, switchable pre-infusions, some kind of ‘steam’ mode, fast warm up and maybe another couple of features, but I haven’t seen anything since Host.

I see - I completely missed that part! Is it the same for the Arnos? So, if I understand this correctly, the Pro-400 is/will be a direct competitor of the MaraX?
DavecUK MediumRoastSteam So, if I understand this correctly, the Pro-400 is/will be a direct competitor of the MaraX? I will have to look at the specs again.
