La Marzocco Linea Mini R Espresso Machine

Dual Boilers: Allows you to brew coffee and steam milk at the same time, with independent temperature control for each. No waiting between pulling a shot and texturing milk, and no temperature drop when you make drinks back to back.

Saturated Group Head: The same integrated group head design used in the commercial Linea Classic found in cafés worldwide. It holds brew temperature steady from the first shot to the last, which is what gives the Linea Mini its consistency.

Semi-Automatic Paddle: Easy to initiate the brew cycle with the large brew paddle located at the very front of the machine. It gives you the same direct, tactile start and stop control baristas use on commercial equipment.

PID Temperature Control: Set and hold your brew temperature precisely, so you can dial in different roasts and repeat the result every time.

Barista Lights: LED lights to improve your brewing experience, illuminating the cup and portafilter area while you work.

Indicator Lights: Provides feedback on water level and heating, so you know at a glance when the machine is up to temperature and ready to brew.

Large Water Reservoir: Comes with an integrated 2.5L water tank for storing water for the brew. The machine can also be plumbed directly into a water line if you prefer a permanent setup.

Pre-Infusion: Arrives with a pre-programmed 1 second pre-infusion mode, which gently wets the coffee bed before full pressure begins for a more even extraction and reduced channelling.

Cup Warmer: Keeps coffee cups at an optimal temperature. Pre-warmed cups hold heat in the espresso and protect the crema.

Multiple Colour Options: Available in a range of finishes, so the machine fits the look of your kitchen or café counter.

Built for people who take coffee seriously at home, the Linea Mini brings commercial engineering into a countertop footprint. If you are still choosing between models, our full range of La Marzocco coffee machines sits alongside the wider semi-automatic espresso machines selection, so you can compare capacity and footprint before you commit. Pair the machine with a matched espresso grinder and coffee beans for espresso to get the most from it.

The machine ships without a grinder. Choose an espresso grinder if you do not already have one, as grind quality has more effect on the cup than any other variable at this level. If you are weighing options, our guide to burr grinders and why you need one is a good starting point.

1. Fill the reservoir or connect the water line. Fill the 2.5L tank with filtered water, or connect the machine to your mains supply using the plumb in kit. Water quality directly affects both taste and machine life, so filtration is not optional at this level.

2. Power on and let it heat. Switch the machine on and allow it to reach operating temperature. The indicator lights will confirm when it is ready. Give it a full warm up so the group head and portafilter are properly heated.

3. Grind and dose. Grind fresh beans directly into the portafilter basket. Distribute the grounds evenly, then tamp level with firm, consistent pressure.

4. Lock in and pull the shot. Insert the portafilter into the group head and turn it firmly to lock. Move the paddle forward to begin. Pre-infusion runs automatically before full pressure builds. Our walkthrough on how to pull espresso shots like a pro covers dialling in your dose and extraction time.

5. Steam your milk. Purge the steam wand, submerge the tip just below the surface of the milk, and open the valve. Introduce air first for texture, then lower the pitcher to create a smooth rotation. For technique, see our guide to frothing milk at home.

6. Clean after use. Purge and wipe the steam wand immediately after every use. Backflush the group head with the blind filter regularly using suitable coffee machine cleaning products, and descale according to your water hardness. Our beginner's guide to maintaining your espresso machine covers the full routine.
