I just plumbed in my Linea Mini last month using the La Marzocco kit; I wish this was available back then because the whole process of taking off the body panels to plumb in the water line to the pump was frustrating to say the least.

Great video with very clear instructions! Thanks! Quick question, can I use a 1/4 water supply tubing instead of the 3/8 tubing to connect to the T? So in that case I need a 1/4 to 1/4 push lock adaptor instead. I’m asking because most Flowjet water pumps use 1/4 water supply tubing instead of 3/8. Will that be appropriate? Thanks!

Will be interested to hear if this same kit can be used on the new Micra?

The alligator clip seems clumsy/cumbersome...making a contact bypass plate would be pretty simple

Thank you for posting this video. I have had my Mini for 48 hours and planning to plumb it in soon and this certainly looks the better option for me rather than the La Marzocco kit as I intend to use 1/4 " John Guest piping and don't have the ability to drain the driptray as it's nowhere near a waste pipe. I just opened up my machine to check your instructions and I can see where to route the piping, my machine does not have an access panel cover, just a round hole above the driptray sensors. Hopefully it's not too silly a question but what is the purpose of the black 90deg valve by the copper pipe? Is it a drain of some sort?

La marzocco is using a metal pipe and getting rid of that has copper, isn't it risky to use plastic hose where it gets very hot and may have a small hole and starts leaking!?

One question. Why do you still need the copper tubing if you can install a 1/4” fitting to 3/8 push lock directly at the T? The Small Copper tube end is 1/4” fitting right?
