Dalla Corte Mina Espresso Machine 110v Yellow
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.

Loving this machine!! Setup was super easy and I straight forward. I’m shocked at how fast this thing cranks out a delicious & smooth cup of Joe and espresso. I find that keeping the temp at the medium setting, is the best. The only thing I would change is the size, for me it’s a tad bit too tall especially if you have lower hanging cabinets. Read more about review stating Great buy!And for the price I wish they would’ve included a frothing pitcher or something. And I would’ve liked if they had the option for a chrome finish. But all in all this thing looks great and so far performs fantastic! I wish I would’ve bought it sooner.

After pulling thousands of shots with my Dalla Corte, it finally retired. This beautiful Cadorna is an amazing, tremendously capable upgrade! The pro-style steaming wand enables gorgeous, perfect micro foam —even with non-traditional milks (e.g., coconut), which is terribly hard to find these days. The controls are intuitive and the shots areRead more about review stating After pulling thousands of shots beautiful. I love it.

Sadly, our beloved Dalla Corte gave up the ghost after nine years and had to be replaced. We selected the Dalla Corte and have not been disappointed with the end product. It took us a couple days to get used to the differences in machines, but other than that it’s all good. 😊

Excellent Machine that makes a real shot of delicious full bodied espresso. If your looking for high a quality coffee experience with a wide range of customized settings, look no further. The steam wand is very powerful and takes practice if your a novice.
