La Marzocco Linea Mini Connected Red
Overview
The La Marzocco Linea Mini is one of the most capable and prestigious home machines available on the market today.
Based on the full-sized, commercially available Linea Classic, this compact version of a cafe machine sets a new standard for the home barista.
Commercial power meets Florentine beauty in this incredible piece of espresso history.
La Marzocco was founded in 1927 by brothers Bruno and Giuseppe Bambi in Florence, Italy. Innovation and originality set La Marzocco apart from the competition, and their past contributions to the manufacturing of espresso machines have helped to shape today’s industry standards. Set up your favourite cafe in your own kitchen with the Linea Mini, one of the most powerful home espresso machines on the market.
Combining a saturated brew group with a powerful 3.5L steam boiler, saturated coffee boiler, PID for temperature control, and smartphone compatibility, this fully equipped commercial quality machine provides the best experience in terms of quality and convenience.
A programmable start time, remote on and off, temperature control, and pre-infusion setting are just a few of the many features available through the Linea’s smartphone app, making it one of the more advanced machines we carry while still preserving the analog beauty of a traditional commercial espresso machine.
An extremely large 3.5L service boiler means cafe quality steam power every time, providing you with the best possible tool to make lattes, cappuccinos, and more. A small, saturated coffee boiler means there is no travel time between the boiler and the group, preserving perfect temperature consistency throughout the entire extraction process.

Solid, quiet grinder. Paired with the Quickmill
Alan Dąbrowski –
This is a great looking and performing little grinder. Best of all it’s very quiet, won’t wake or annoy anyone around you. The infinite grind dial makes dialing in espresso near perfect, and it’s just the right price point. I’ve gotten excellent crème in the 16-18 gram double shots at 2oz in about 28 seconds just the way I like it. Next will be toRead more about review stating Fantastic little grinder setup the timer. I can’t imagine spending more it would just be overhandling. The Silienzio is the way to go.

Fits easily under cabinet on my counter

This little grinder is really quiet, for a grinder, and strong. I was initially concerned that coffee grounds would spill all over, but that is not the case. If I just tilt the portafilter a bit up (so the back is slightly higher than the part pushing the button, I get zero crumbs on the counter. Great product.

I ordered this grinder to replace my Baratza Sette 270. It arrived quickly and it works great. I can have a conversation while grinding in the morning. The pale blue looks incredible and the timer is handy. It arrive with a very small amount of paint chipped in a not very noticeable area and WLL helped resolve the issue. Great product and great cuRead more about review stating Great productstomer service.

Delivery was quick and was very pleased with this grinder. Did an unnecessary amount of research on grinders and glad I went with this La Marzocco.

Overall it is a really good upgrade from my old grinder. However, i expected better at this price range. The portafilter fork is not adjustable and feels cheap. The hopper feels also pretty cheap, i would have expected something more like an airtight hopper since it is not meant for single-dosing. I will try to buy a singledoser kit for sure!
Read more about review stating Good upgrade, expected betterAfter 2 weeks of use, I like it. I understand that La Marzocco invested more in the importants components, not the hopper or the portafilter fork, and I respect that! I would recommend this product for someone that is looking to upgrade their home setup! If the budget allows it, go for the Specialita and not the Silenzio please.
