Does anyone have a decent idea as to when these are going to start flowing into the US again? I was hoping to pick one up as my first espresso machine, but I am getting a little antsy.

Where did you find a black paddle?

Is the flow profiling mod easy to self install? I've got the option of buying it with it already installed, but would like to give the default soft pre infusion a go first.

The black paddle is actually a wooden paddle. Sanded it with some 400/600 sandpaper, sprayed some grey primer on it and then sprayed black paint. I'm thinking about adding a clear coat as well.

It's quite easy to self install as long as you have the right tools. Check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvnESAbUTSw

Unfortunately, the Mara X may not arrive until July. It is not Lelit with the delays, but some of their suppliers have not opened yet. I apologize for the delays. On my conference call with them yesterday, they stated that they hope to have supplier normalcy by the end of June.

Its a very easy install. You can still do the soft pre infusion at any time just leave the flow control valve fully open. (Fully to the right).

Do you guys know a link to the MaraX detailed users manual in English? I only have the short version which came with the machine and can be found at care.lelit.com after registering the machine.

Got my first machine Lelit MaraX after reading the reviews and this thread. So fat the only inconvenience for me is that MaraX does not have shot timer. Can I ask which temperature setting is everyone using?
