Overview
La Marzocco's Linea line has long been hailed as the "Northwest Workhorse" for many commercial users. Now you can bring a petite version of this trusted workhorse home to craft cafe quality espresso drinks with the La Marzocco Linea Mini. The Linea Mini is perfect for the home espresso enthusiast that prefers a simpler, more automated way to brew cafe quality espresso without having to constantly fuss with manual adjustments. The Mini features an automated EE brew paddle for simple on/off brewing with a pre-programmed 1 second pre-infusion mode. The temperature is also easily controlled by a stepped turn wheel located on the side of the Mini, while built-in PID algorithms take place on the motherboard. Initiate a brew cycle and prepare to be mesmerized by the integrated barista lights that shine to enhance each user's experience.
Features
- Brew Paddle - Easily initiate a brew cycle with the large and in charge brew paddle located at the very front of the machine.
- Integrated Brew Group - With the introduction of the Mini comes an introduction to a newly designed brew group. Much like the name illustrates, the integrated brew group combines the brew boiler and brew group into one seamless part. This allows the integrated group to achieve the same temperature stability and energy efficiency of the saturated group, all in a reduced footprint!
- Simple Indicator Lights - Two simple lights let you know what's going on with your machine. The top red light will blink to let you know the machine is heating up and will stay solid when the Mini is at optimal temperature. The bottom blue light will stay solid when the water reservoir is full and will blink when it needs a refill.
- Barista Lights - Every great performer needs stage lights to help them shine, so it's fitting that every great espresso machine provides stage lighting to highlight every awesome brew.
- Pre-Infusion - The Linea Mini arrives at your doorstep with a pre-programmed 1 second pre-infusion mode for optimal coffee extraction.
- Large Reservoir - The 3.5L water reservoir is sure to last through many brew cycles before requiring a refill.
-
Pros
- Redesigned Drip Tray - The Lini Mini offers a redesigned drip tray from the original GS/3, for an effortless removal process when it's time to refill the water reservoir.
- Commercial Grade Steam Valve - The Linea Mini offers the same durable steam valve that the Linea classic utilizes, ensuring a long life and optimal performance.
-
Cons
- Water Reservoir - The sealed water reservoir is incredibly hard to clean.
