May not be helpful but I measured the Mini as I’m interested in the difference.

140mm from group to drip tray.

MattH Yep and I’ve also signed up to the mailing list, where they send seasonal offers. This was an easter offer.

Current offer is 10% off the Micra plus at home Barista training. Only caveat is that the 10% discount expires tomorrow (13th April) at midnight 😬.

I also have a code for around 25% discount off the Mini. Again this expires tomorrow at midnight.

Im personally gonna go for the Micra over the Mini, after watching Lance’s comparison video over the newer internal parts. Plus I’m only person using it in my house hold.

I’ll DM you the codes.

Phil

    You can use the email in my posts 👍 - i cannot even work out how to get in the mailing list - is it on the international marzocco website ?

    Found the mailing list 😂

    25% off the Mini is a heck of a deal in my opinion and if you have the space I’d really say that was the better option.

    I know the Micra is cute but a Mini for £3375 is the better buy I reckon.

    One huge thing to note with the Micra is that temperature is controlled exclusively by the app whereas it’s a mechanical wheel on the Mini. My concern would be that if the app no longer gets updated, or becomes obsolete with future phones etc, as it stands you would have no way of adjusting temperature.

    I haven’t seen the video Lance Hedrick did but I wouldn’t worry about internals, the Mini is built and wired in a way that looks like it’ll last about 50 years. Also you can fit a gear pump for proper pressure-profiling should you wish to.

    DavecUK - Nice! I wasn’t aware of this feature. Of course, it takes no time for a spammer to create an account and check the email on the profile, but it’s an extra hurdle. 👍

        It’s not that simple, if they create an account, they still can’t. I won’t go into any more detail…but I already tweaked it. It was in the announcement below.

        and in the main menu dropdown under New? A certain tab a user who got very upset with us didn’t bother to read.

          Ohh I missed that totally - I will do that shortly

          Well that’s a bummer! I’ve literally just ordered a micra, it’s being delivered tomorrow. I was not aware of the discount codes, don’t suppose you could send them over to me as well @phil28? Unless they are single use codes, in which case I think Matt has dibs on them :)

          And also hello everyone, just joined, used to be on coffeeforums.co.uk (well, still am but don’t post much).

          Edit - I don’t think I can set a bio, or see anyone elses bio which I presume is due to the tweak mentioned above by Dave. Probably because I’ve only just joined.

            MattH I ordered on April 6th so delivery has been fast. Went for white, I did ring them before though and I think they said all colours were in stock.
