La Marzocco Linea Mini Espresso Machine

The linea mini takes making home espresso drinks to a completely different level. We all know this machine or its multi group head equivalents from the coffee shops we frequent…or used to frequent. If you are a competent home barista, buy this machine, get third wave mineral packets and distilled water and a solid grinder, and you will probably never want an espresso drink out agan.

I love this machine. The espresso it makes is better than what I’ve had at most coffee shops in Portland, Oregon and the coffee in Portland is amazing. The steam wand is also so powerful. I steam milk in less than 20 seconds. Just really impressed. I also enjoy that I can schedule using my phone. It’s always ready to go first thing in the morning and goes on standby automatically. I hope the machine lasts a long time. Time will tell.

Excellent machine, even better buying experience.
