Thanks. I was just about to kill the vid because of the crap start.

Javed Mower the gs3 is a fantastic machine! The features you get for the higher price is a lot of value. We will do a review on the gs3 for sure.

That's what I thought. I wonder if he got it mixed up..

Sorry all I missed this thread, yes I got is mixed up, whoops. I need to triple check edits. Cheers luke

Great to hear thanks Joshua! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Thanks ☺️

Yep, so hard to film without Aussie background noises. 😂

Jacky Siu it’s a small boiler, only a few hundred mL’s if I heard correctly. Simply running the hot water tap for 30 seconds should flush it.

Apologies for the slow reply Jacky! Thanks for your comment and glad to hear you liked the video :) If the machine is heating the red light will be flashing. The red light will be solid if it's up to temp. So, if you're increasing the temperature just wait until the red light stops flashing which shouldn't take too long at all. If you're dropping temp then you'd do as Retinaz said to run the hot tap and flush out the hot water. Then you'd allow it to reset to the desired temp which again will be when the red lights not flashing. Hope that makes sense and thanks again for your question!

Whoops, flush he extraction water, not hot tap🤪. 200 ml should be fine

Hi, is this machine is suitable for commercial use? Like we are selling 155 cup espresso per day.

Ahmad Iskandar Ahmed considering that the 155 espressos aren’t perfectly spread out during the day but you also have peak hours like 40 espressos an hour for two hours. Then no, you’ll need a commercial machine. Maybe even a 2 group machine. La Marzocco has a Linea Classic 1 group or two group machine that would me more suited far that situation. The linea mini could handle around 15 double espresso’s an hour.

@@iBarista thnks for ur answer. Btw, how about CONTI? Can i use this instead of Lamarzocco?

@@iBarista how about CONTI with 2 Group? Is it worth instead of Lamarzocco?

​@@Iskandar-lq7yl I don't have any experience with that brand, so I can't help you with that.

Shot timers are on the way for sure, it’s now in the app so there is a work around. @Spechtdesign has built a drip option for a scale to sit in

The model for the la Marzocco linea mini is a direct from manufacturer, supported by local suppliers. Shoot me an email and I’ll give you a price info@artisti.com.au 👍🏻

Kiarax1 thanks! I love it, if you have any questions I can help with far more detail

Thanks very much! Glad you liked it. :)

It’s not a specific quantity of coffees as you have the production of steam and hot water using the same tank. I have found I get 3-4 days out of the tank. It never gets turned off and does 4-5 coffees a day and a few teas 👍🏻

Sure, there are internal differences i the brew chambers, and other inner workings, the look as well is then formed from these changes, so look at the tech and see which you prefer. 👍🏻

The machine that we received from La Marzocco Australia was equipped with that feature as standard. :) Apologies for the slow reply!

I’ll check it out! Thanks

It’s takes about 10 mins. The red light stops when the machine is at full temp.

I’ll look into this, most lm’s have the .8 restrictor, the PB And newer have the .6. Blocking the .6 is very common in the commercial environment due to poor water filtration. I’ll investigate the tech reason more and then assess it with coffee flavour changes

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters thank you so much for your reply! Appreciate that!

I have studied up on the water debit. I’ll do a video when we can fit it into the schedule. 👍🏻

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters Thats is so amazing!! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see it🙌🙌

bootybygracie _ I have been able to changes this many times over the years. I currently have a $600 flat burr mazzer jolly copy. As it’s great for my family as it’s small and easy. When I shot this video I had the mazzer Kony electronic in white to match. I found the flat burr had a brighter taste profile and the Kony increase the dept and body in our coffee

No problem :) You'll find more details about the glass teapot here: artisti.com.au/products/tea-pot-300ml

Around 120 cups

@Deepak Bhojraj did you get one?

Sure is, I love having it at home

Cheers, we love them

Great coffee’s up! That’s what! 👍🏻

A standard 58mm tamp. 👍🏻

I had the mini plumbed at home and on the shop we used it on tank. I did not notice the difference really as the rotary pump did a great job

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters thanks for the answer! I will spend more time to choose the right coffee and recipe :)

Ryan Webber it sure is! We make dreams come true👍🏻

They are both great machines for performance and quality. The design of the linea that has the group head in the chassis to me always feels more solid. I have had both in the past and very happy with both of them! Personally I love LM. 👍🏻 tough choice but they are both Supercars!

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters 🧡thank u so much!

This is great honest assessment. well done. i have the Mini at home and love it. there are build differences in these models you have compared that do effect the extraction chamber and coffee results overall. the only true way is to have a side by side challenge. if you ever get the opportunity it would be great to hear your results. the Mini has some mods on the way with a new PID controller and full App control. it will be interesting to see what we can play with.

Not ideal if you're planning to grow and get busy. A single group machine would be very limiting to the speed and amount of cups of coffee you can produce per hour.

No it’s not suited for that volume, go for the commercial model the linea classic

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters Hi one question, why not? :O

Thats a lot of espresso, the steam won’t keep up, it’s only a 3lt boiler. If it’s purely Esprssso shots only, you could do it as split shots and get 3 shots on average per minute, if you had a peak period you would have a long wait as it’s only 1 head

Sure, we will do more on this for sure

Rrp in aud$6750.00 full specs are available on there website. We can provide you the specs and help you purchase one if you are in Australia?

It’s a very solid well finished plastic. The same as the commercial machines. These plastic parts have never broken in the cafe environment.

Tend to agree . Moreover, quite a bit old fashioned when compared to the Victoria Arduino Eagle One Prima. Seriously, it’s a PITA to keep refilling the water if not direct plumbed.I do like the Linear Mini portafilter, well engineered

Surprised that brew boiler is only 170ml capacity. Explains why warm up time is short compared to e61 machines?

Nice!!

Which rocket machine are you referring to? The r58?

The mini is a copy of the commercial linea classic, it has a cult following in the cafe industry. This is why many people including me love it as we get the same feeling at home as we do at work. 🤜🏻

Yes, you never know :)

😂 let us know if we can help you with and upgrade 👍🏻

Interesting comment, having a water tank on the top can be an issue removing it if you have overhead cupboards in a kitchen, also over time the can warp due to bing next to a boiler, also you have to remove your cups to get access to the water and you could risk tipping water into the top of your coffee machine. Yes you have to remove the drip tray to get to the water tank, but usually that’s the same time you need to empty the drain and fill the water at the same time. Internal build quality is where you will see value, check out our video on the difference between the mini and gs3 from La Marzocco, we show the insides of the machines which use 💯 commercial parts. Hope this helps you

Yes! We have fixed our audio on newer videos

The wheel can be overridden in the new model that has the IOT app. This connects your phone to the mini. There will be more in the app to come for sure.

Snowman yes your right on the plastic, it takes a product to be released to allow others to bring the product to life with timber, and brass. This is a customisation that allows for an individual’s personality. There is so much out there for these machines ow that you can make it your own from a great baseline product

Sir, it’s so nice to read an opinion that differs from almost universal mania about Linea Mini or GS3. And a lion’s share goes, in my view, to La Marzocco’s able marketing department (same case is Nuova Simonelli/Victoria Arduino) whose people somehow persuaded - with generous support of many reviewers - only their machines are worthy of an investment. They build them in Italy, thay are made by hand, they are artisanal, they are of a respectable tradition. Who would have ever thought that? But same goes to most of Italian makers such as ECM (Rocket), Vibiemme, Elektra, Astoria and many many others. Steam wand is not insulated, you have to pay extra for plumbing kit, the PID is "by guess only" with no clear digits, reservoir is a two-step process instead just removing the cover and filling water in, plastic knobs and "paddle" for this price. Yes, I am biased (owning Rocket Giotto Evoluzione R) but there are brands, and not only Rocket, which bring along much better value for the price without "an Apple-like" culture of surcharges for things that should be part of basic package.

Zluty Zakaznik this is fair. The counter is that LM have an established presence within the industry as the providers of stable workhorses that smash out great coffee after coffee whilst taking maximum punishment. Add to this the fact that they have a great support network and parts are readily available along with technicians that know how to work on them. I know my GS3 will be able to last for my lifetime and that most likely LM parts will be available for it for a very very long tome to come and it makes the investment decision much more palatable. I upgraded from a similar machine to yours to my GS3 and have never ever looked back :)

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters 6o

Think about cost savings for the company. It's all about decent internals and then the name. For all the suckers that want to pay for the name they will pay for cheap plastic parts. They won't care because they can say they have the name 🤣🤣. Smart company as they are saving millions of dollars in steel.

Yes, we have an open studio, it can be fun producing good content.

Va B I agree it appears to be over extracted just by observing the drip pattern of the flow. But if you watch their video on dialing in a shot, they use a standard recipe that specifies 34-36 second extraction. For most coffees I use this would be over extracted but who is to say it’s not optimal for their particular roasts...

Why do you say this? Is there some better for the same $

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters With same money not, with much less money yes 😜 Lelit Bianca, dual boiler with flow control

😂 it’s so hard me trying not to be my real life self. I’ll have to get some acting classes to change my accent. 🤙🏻 cheers luke

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters come now - review was spot on and much appreciated. Save the acting classes for another machine 😎
