For anyone considering a Linea Mini and wanted an idea on size. Here it is compared to a Sage Dual Boiler. Any questions about the machine feel free to ask [URL=https://i.imgur.com/F9cV3Ae.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/F9cV3Ae.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Great to have another La Marzocco owner here, pretty sure that makes two of us 😅 Congrats on the new machine, you’re in for a treat, and for people regularly telling you you could’ve bought X machine for X thousand pounds less.

🤣 already had that a couple of times!

So nice….. I am just trying to convince myself to spend the money… think it would be perfect in terms of size the looks and making great drinks without too much tinkering 👍

So some random questions… Did you get a water testing kit with it ? Are you using bottled or filtered for the machine ? Is it as quick to heat up as has been said ? Or is it a longer period if you want to make milk drinks from turning on the machine? cheers Matt

Not to jump in and answer on behalf of @"KyleT"#495 but I can confirm the Linea Mini heats up incredibly quick, well under 10 mins for the brew boiler, not far off 10 for steam at 1.5 bar. If you leave the steam at the default 2.0 it takes slightly longer, but since I like my milk to stay in the pitcher and not all over the kitchen I lowered the pressure. With that in mind I’d say the claimed warmup times of the Micra are probably accurate. Mine also came with a water drop test although I know my water is the hardest of hard so I use Lockhills exclusively. It’s not the perfect scale-free water, but it’s a risk I’m knowingly taking.

Thats great, very compact size is it grey or silver?

@"MattH"#p36927 Hi, no water testing kit came with it. I’ve heard from others who have purchased the Micra that despite the manual mentioning water testing kits they didn’t receive one either. I am putting only Tesco Ashbeck in to it. About 5mins and its ready to go both brew and steam, i will normally let it warm for 15-20mins though.

@"Cuprajake"#p36937 its grey, i saw everyone posting pictures of the white one with the occasional red or black but never saw a grey. Also, grey is the only colour where the back plate (where the two gauges are) is painted in the same colour.

Lovely machine that, partial to a bit of grey

Agreed, looks really good there in the grey.

Oh found it, the group buy. Just curious though, seems that using a zero water jug is effective and cheap, how is the osmio better? Although not sure I want to even know as then I will want one!!

caffeinated-carp I don’t think I will be allowed another device on the worktop!!

This is exactly why I use bottled.

I’ve been tempted to plumb in with an in-line system but no risk of flooding my kitchen or having pressure issues with bottled.

Waitrose Lockhills is what I use.
