Doing some mental maths I think it will be difficult to make more coffees than the Micra can handle (plumbed in) and will be on par to the mini as they are both a single group head. Pretty sure it is capable for large gatherings, probably have a kettle for long blacks and tea to keep the boiler temp stable. Would love to see a stress test video on that!
Great Video! I replaced the Linea Mini with a Micra and i love it. For home use the Micra is unbeatable and kind of an “upgrade” for me, even though the mini is considered to be the “better” Machine. 5-8min and you are ready to enjoy a Café Quality Coffee! Btw: I like your watch. Which one is it?
We see why it's an "upgrade" for you! Of course, both machines cater to different needs and we're glad the Micra speaks to you. Really can't stress enough how fast the Micra heats up too! As for the watch; it's a Seiko Presage. Thank you for noticing 🫣
I was just wondering if we can do pressure profile using a screwdriver while brewing on mini, just like Gs4…. That would make mini worth the price for me 😊
For home use, I don’t think the comparison should be about volume. Both can make more than enough espresso in almost all situations. The Micra is clearly more efficient with better heat up times at a lower cost. But the Mini has higher quality materials inside and out, and a more advanced group ahead configuration that maintains better puck integrity during pre-infusion.
Interesting info. Thanks. Trying to decide which brand/machine to move to now that I’ve outgrown Sage. The beautiful workflows of TH-camr coffee stations are lovely but, in reality, not sure I want to be faffing about with WDT, puck screens nor scales for every-single-coffee. What I do want is café quality, every time, at home. Is Mini the best for the job or is it Victoria, Slayer etc… this is the Q! 🙈
I don’t realy believe that the Mini has higher quality materials inside. In fact, the built quality and materials inside the micra is even more high quality than the Mini (Older Model, not Mini R).
Nice info video but hope the presenter can speak quicker as it feels a bit slow and 'bland' to move things along. Had to increase the video's speed to 1.25x - 1.5x in order to make him sound at 'normal' speed.
It’s not compatible with the Acaia scales. It’s only compatible with their own rip off rebranding of the scales, which are $400 vs $250 for the already silly price of the Acaia.
That’s one way to put it. Another is that La Marzocco & Acaia have modified the scale to interoperate with the Linea Mini to provide start/stop timing.
What I’d really like to see is a comparison of the new Linea Mini R and the OG Linea Mini - performance, build quality, reliability..

Thanks for watching the video! A stress test video doesn't sound too bad actually 🤔

What do you mean more advanced group head? Aren’t they the same?

Do you think light blue reflect coffee squirts? Much
If you're concerned about espresso stains on the backsplash, darker colour such as the black and red would be more suitable!
@@lamarsacoffee yeah I am thinking of black with custom wood👌
Like dulu msuk wishlist… InsyaAllah one day will get 😆😆

Thank you for the feedback! We will work to improve our future videos 🙏

@ pre release versions worked with any Acaia. It’s nonsense.
