Hypothetically speaking could you get rid of this wife in exchange for an espresso machine?

WX: wife exchange espresso machine

Good news, I don't have a wife that'll get angry. Bad news, I can't afford it.

I don't have to deal with a wife or husband, but I need to stop torturing myself with these too because my bank is going to divorce me lol

@@jgvazquez14 lol

Check chris baca's video

Ah well. I had to at least try.

Have you tried something like a The Jack Leveler? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7GIm5VembW0hH0.html

Grind coarser or use a WDT tool

Quality over quantity 💯😁

More like Aston 🤔

As much as i love LM honestly.. no. The answer is no. You would get no real world improvement

Having same thoughts. Have you upgraded?

⁠@@alexzigky8728what about temperature control? The LMLM is NSF certified and has better temperature stability than the ECM Sym. This all makes it a sound option for a small cafe setting. But for home use, the Syn offers things the LMLM doesn’t like pressure profiling? Which you can also get on the LMLM if you mod it. You likely wont pressure profile in a commercial setting though.

That's part of their philosophy. Everything is hands on. Don't get a la marzoco if you don't want a new hobby lol

Blzt wouldn’t non-adjustable pre-infusion be less hands on? Most La Marzocco machines I’ve used had a more pre-programmed feel to them. I prefer my machines to be more quickly adjustable.

Pre brew times are adjustable with the connected app now (on newer machines and retrofits with the new board)

More than over $5.000 actually

Hello! The tamper is for a 58mm portafilter. The machine does come with one!

That’s quite a big drink, takes a lot of steam to get it up to temperature - you could get away with a couple (I presume) but you run the risk of using steam faster than the machine can make more. It wouldn’t be a problem if the machine had some time to recover in between though.

Yup. It does

This machine is at least $3000, actually some more. ;)

We usually don't recommend the Linea Mini for commercial use!

@@SeattleCoffeeGearwhat machine do you recommend for light commercial use? Medium traffic

Looks like the cafelat corner tamping mat, but there are plenty of similar ones out there

Daniel Hendricks I‘m not sure. I really don‘t know the big improvement I would get from this machine if I traded my ECM Synchronika in. I asked the question somewhere in here, maybe someone can give me a good point that the LM really does better. Still it does not offer any flow control, it has a „paddle“ which is not really a paddle but only an on/off switch. If you really look for the holy grail, take a look at LaMarzocco‘s GS-3 MP with its real paddle. That would be the true holy grail, where I really see the benefit over a but dual boiler E61 machine.

Thorsten Latz Lelit Bianca if you want flow control. I’ve asked a lot of people, and nobody can give me tangible details about what la Marzocco actually brings to the table besides brand name and aesthetics. In terms of functionality alone, the price is ridiculous. (Also, is it not incredibly frustrating to anyone else that they used a paddle to implement an on-off switch? Like...why?? So it *looks* like it has flow control? From a workflow perspective, that switch has no benefits over a simple toggle switch)

@@danmetzler7687 many competitive baristas loves it though

@@danmetzler7687 Yeah, that fake paddle flow switch is bizarre. Also agreed it's ridiculously overpriced. It should be in the $3000 range. Maybe $3500 cause of the name.

Total, you don't want to drink watery espresso

I've got an apartamento and think that literally the only reason to pay double+ for the Linea is looks. Some features on it, like where the reservoir is located, actually suck a lot more on the Linea. Granted I am a home barista and do not need a plumbed machine for 3-4 shots per day.

@@howdyitsdavid The plus of the reservoir on the bottom is the water won't get warm. My Bianca has the reservoir external to the machine and I like that. My old HX machine had the water internal and it would get warm from the boiler and it would get funky over time.

BsOnK1969 i have a scm sunchronika that this guys dont sell but it is a beuty dual boiler Plummabale Etc but it $3,500 it has a screen to show u temps Too that dial Seems very cheap For such an expensive machine

I have owned a rocket and how have a linea mini and the steaming power is a other lever and the linea mini is a bit more consistent but that clearly don’t worth double the price. It’s all about the grinder and de barista. I can put stunning shot from a gaggia classic with a good grinder.

kenny drole which rocket u owned? Hx or dual boiler? Am curious to know to compare steaming power

, it's me..

by a dollar!

I own an R58 (cinquantotto, the new one)....workflow is shit. Terrible layout. Worst machine I have owned. I hope to trade in for a Linea.

Maybe somewhere else because he is a better barista

Retired

Sad.

get back to us in a year haha

You get the gaggia classic pro!? Perfect machine for a few hundred!

It's just flat-out overpriced. There are many better machines at half this price. Someone at La Marzocco thinks their success in the commercial space means they can charge double for home users. Influencers get them at steep discounts and those are honestly the only people I know who own one.

@@jcasetnl : no way, check the coffee forums.....LOTS of LMLM users. But they do things a bit different than most other companies. Everything is stainless steel, portafilter, frame and body, boilers, screws etc. Resale is very good too. Worth it? That's personal, I'm on the fence personally. I have wanted a La Marzocco for 20 years.....and now I can buy one because they now have single group machines. I had a two group Faema once, but it was a bit much :)

K 5 It’s okay just fuck ur self

K 5 Lol sorry I did not mean to be rude.....
