Dalla Corte Mina Espresso Machine 220v Venice Wood
Owning the Dalla Corte Mina
The Dalla Corte Mina is emblematic of Dalla Corte’s commitment to superb espresso and everything they have ventured to accomplish. With the arrival of the Mina, things have changed here at the office. There’s a kind of frenetic pace, a sort of impatience caused by our excitement to share this machine with our customers. This, of course, may be due in part to all of the coffee it’s made for us, but the Mina really is something else and we like it a lot. With it’s flow profiling system and incredible ingenuity, we’re positive you’ll agree.
The key to understanding what the Mina has to offer is at its heart: the DFR (Digital Flow Regulator) and a custom made Flow Meter. This is the first flow meter designed for an espresso machine and it is so accurate that it can measure up to 80 pulses per second. Now, when approaching the Mina, perhaps the first thing you’ll notice is the yoke above the brew group. The yoke works with the DFR and Flow Meter. You can use the yoke in both the manual and automatic mode and, when brewing coffee by using the control knob on the right, you will brew in the automatic mode only. This manual lever allows you to adjust flow rate in five stages during your extraction between 0 and 12 grams/second. Each stage of flow rate is represented by a series of lights on the right side of the machine as a visual aid. By adjusting flow rate, you’re granted a new level of control over your extraction, essentially creating a unique extraction profile. With the Mina, Dalla Corte’s mission was to offer control over your espresso’s balance, acidity, sweetness—even it’s aftertaste and texture. After testing it, we think Dalla Corte has achieved that mission in spades.
Another key strength of the Mina comes from the Dalla Corte Mina App which lets you control flow automatically. When connected to the Dalla Corte Mina App, you can save your favorite profiles, and select which you would prefer your Mina to perform. From here, you can create new profiles or edit existing ones by adjusting flow rate in grams/second and time at each step in seconds for each of the five steps in your flow profile. With that in mind, we’re proud to say our results from the Mina have been the most consistent we’ve ever experienced.
On the App, you can find a shot timer, group temperature, and steam boiler temperature, as well as a litany of parameters you can freely adjust. Another intriguing feature of the App is its ability to upload flow profiles to any Mina. With multiple Minas, you can create specialized brewing stations, with each machine tuned to get the perfect cup out of a particular coffee. And, with the Mina’s NSF certification, it stands to be a powerful addition to any cafe. You can even manage the entire group with a single smart device. We’ve tested this ourselves, and we’re happy to say that the experience is transformative. The way we look at exploring coffee has never been more open.

The idea was to step up my espresso game, and I’m not disappointed. For 5 years the Dalla Corte was wonderful, but I’ve now moved into a whole different league. The E61 group head feels substantial and consistent, the power of the steam boiler has totally change my milk steaming success, and I love the steam and water levers instead of knobs on tRead more about review stating The idea was to stephis unit..

Looks great and works great

This looks like a beast and takes up s lot of counter space. I’d have it no other way. Heats up in fifteen/twenty and can stream and be consistently great espresso. Expensive but well worth It

Best investment in my espresso journey! In two short weeks, I have dialed in perfection and we are enjoying Rome cafe quality espresso and cappuccino on a daily basis. This machine is a work of art and begs you to become the best barista you can be.

After 17 years with my Rancilio Silvia single boiler machine I finally upgraded to the Dalla Corte . I’ve had it for a week and am already in love. It’s sits beautifully on my coffee station and was immediately pulling delicious espressos. The build quality is fantastic with the only exception for me is the cup warming rail on top I thought woRead more about review stating After 17 years with myuld be locked onto the top cover but it just sits in 3 slots. So when you have to remove the top cover to refill the reservoir it’s a little tricky. Small detail but seems overlooked. I’ll get used to it though. You can’t go wrong with this machine. I upgraded my grinder from the Rancilio Rocky to the Dalla Corte and can’t wait to get these 2 paired together once it arrives
