Truly recommend them.La Spaziale has been designing and making both consumer and commercial espresso machines since 1969. Overall I’d say I had a 5 star experience with Comiso. They were out of stock so it took a bit longer to ship but they politely explained the reason for the delay and I received the items a week later. I got my two free items a bit later but can’t complain at all- they were free gifts included with my MaraX- a dosing funnel and a distribution tool. I had a couple of questions after the sale and they again were so quick to respond. I received my machine very well packed and everything has been great so far. From there my order was processed immediately and shipped out within 2 business days- again this was during last week of December where all shops are so busy. I ended up buying a Lelit MaraX v2 in black and the ordering process was a breeze and I was assisted over the phone super easy and nice customer service rep helped me to get my order plus 2 free items added to the order. This was during the busy holiday season and they were amazing at responding super quickly to all my questions and all folks I interacted with were respectful and polite. I had a great experience pre-sale when I contacted them with questions via email and chat. I’m so far very satisfied with the entire experience purchasing a new espresso machine from Comiso. Sure enough I purchased it and it’s on its way. Ps, they were sold out of a product I needed and they were nice enough to refer me to a company that has what I need. I will only purchase from this company for everything espresso! Nick said customers should have the machine they really want. I have my dream machine st a great price. They are charging a minimal restocking fee but quite frankly, I didn’t care. He helped me on how to return the first machine once I receive it as it was in transit already. I contacted Nick and I secured the machine I’ve wanted for a longtime. I paid and was waiting for delivery and in the meantime, I decided on another machine. I dealt with Nick who was extremely helpful in helping me decide what to purchase. They clearly have the best pricing out there. I decided to upgrade and discovered Comiso Coffee. Prior to my discovering this company, I had purchased my first entry level espresso machine from a well known company. I don’t need a super end game machine like the bigger Bianca so Mara meets my needs and I find it beautiful! Overall I recommend it and I’d probably buy it again knowing what I know now. However when set to steam mode it’s really good. The steaming power is a bit weak when set to coffee mode but still way better than what I was used to with Breville. I paired it with Niche Zero and I’m enjoying amazing espresso. Sad they don’t include a bottomless pf like they do with the Bianca…Anyways all you need is a good WDT and use the Lelit tamper and you’ll be on your way to make great espresso. Also it comes with IMS filter baskets- they seem pretty legit precision baskets, single, double and triple. Ok back to positive- it comes with an awesome tamper - this is a true solid and beautiful tamper. This should be done by Lelit factory set to the industry standard of 9 bars. You have to unscrew several screws and open the top casing to adjust the brew pressure. Know that this machine comes from factory set at 10 bars. One complaint right out of the box is the fact that Lelit didn’t add an exposed adjustment for the OPV to bring the brew pressure down to 9 bars or lower. The features selecting preset brew temperatures for different roast types and the coffee/steam priority all work wonderful and it makes a very simple machine that it’s super easy to use a more capable and adjustable interface. Love the maple wood pf and the tactile experience with the steam and water knobs and lever. I come from a Breville Barista Express so this machine feels way more “premium or commercial”. Lelit should definitely correct that moving forward maybe for v3 I guess. So I’m fixing that by getting maple wood feet custom made (Etsy) so hopefully that will correct the problem also with moving the machine around. IMO it’s very aesthetically pleasing, love the black body with the maple wood, looking beautiful in my kitchen! I knew that it lacked in its feet, poorly designed and just tiny rubbery feet aren’t worthy of the overall machine and also for the price. It’s been a month using MaraX and I’m very pleased with it and the espresso that I’m able to produce.
