La Marzocco Linea Mini Espresso Machine

The La Marzocco Linea Mini is a classic espresso machine that has stood the test of time as one of the most reliable home espresso machines on the market. With a large steam boiler and integrated dual brew group, it is one of the most commonly used machines for prosumers and mobile coffee businesses alike. It also comes in a variety of colors and wooden accents that pop off the countertop. The simple operation and full steel body make for a stylish, high performance machine that is sure to impress in any situation.

The Linea Mini features the same sweeping, classic form as its older brother: the Linea Classic. It utilizes a semi-automatic paddle control system for simple on and off functionality in tandem with a .17 liter brew boiler. The Linea Mini’s massive, 3.5 liter steam boiler allows for back-to-back, powerful steaming abilities that are on par with the La Marzocco espresso machine that you’d find in your local, specialty cafe. Changing the temperature at the group head is quick and easy; simply turn the PID-controlled, stepped wheel on the side of the Linea Mini to correspond with your coffee’s roast level.

The new "connected machine" feature is standard with all new Linea Minis and allows machine owners to connect to their machines via the new La Marzocco Home App. Using the app, home baristas will have the ability to engage with a variety of features on their machine, including remote on/off/standby capability, boiler temperature status and control, and machine statistics and total shot counter. La Marzocco is consistently updating the Home App, meaning more features will be available in the future.
