Dalla Corte Mina Espresso Machine 220v
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.

Viera Oslejová –
Excellent coffee grinder. Use for recent purchase of ECM Mechanika and works great. I have a Baratza virtuoso and does not grind fine enough.
Adrián Zeman –
It’s as quiet as the literature says, and it does produce excellent grinds, once it’s dialed in, which is ALL trial and error, since there are no numbers to guide you. The execution of the grind, however, is not well thought out. It sprays grinds everywhere, and my dosing funnel does not work on this….Etsy has one made just for the Dalla and I’Read more about review stating Good but the little things are not greatm waiting for it. Thats the issue, it leaves a mess every single time it’s used. So I also use the mat that Dalla makes for it. Great quite grind, not great total execution.
Petra Plšková –
Fantastic machine. Well built and most importantly extremely quiet. Rest of the house sleep through my early morning coffee unlike before. Pairs well with my Gaggia Classic Pro. Easy to dial in with consistency in every grind.
Leopold Ďaďo –
Very quiet and beautiful to look at. It’s an adjustment from stepped grinding but performs well when you get used to it. It keeps my coffee area cleaner because the grinds fall right into the portafilter which was an added bonus
Maroš Mečíř –
Quiet and efficient, no frills just simple elegance. Great grinder for the price.
Maroš Mečíř –
Great product, low noise. Received fast and well packed.
Tamara Nosková –
Very quiet machine with a strong motor. Build quality seems good. It can deliver very fine grinds that are very uniform. A bit difficult to dial in the grind and a bit messy if you are grinding for pour over or French Press since there is no container supplied. I find the grind adjustment difficult to read. The company has a much more expensive maRead more about review stating Great Grinds!chine with digital controls to make this easier.This machine seems to be designed mostly for espresso grinds. For me, this is perfect since I have a second grinder I set for pour over coffee. Its early in the game but this grinder is exactly what I was hoping for.
