And there's also a gear pump mod that allows pressure profiling on Linea Mini😂

Thank you

Hahah, they are really nice

Yes, spot on, so many additional accessories , I mean extras, or essentials, or what ever words we use to justify our coffee spending habits. 😂

Congratulations, it will be a wonderful experience. Happy brewing 🤙🏻

Yeah, same here. Kitchen underway. No way do I want a new machine until the kitchen is finished.

Thank you 🙏🏻

That’s what makes them more fun! We must all have dreams.

It can handle it, you just have to ensure you have good filtered water. Also the group head is low so you can’t do 16oz takeaway coffee easily. A trailer is slower than a cafe, so it will give great quality, but may under the pump run low on steam

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters Thanks!

It’s a great machine, if it fits the budget you will love it. There are great options in lower price point machines as well for about $3k if that is in the budget

Yep. Meant to say 58mm like a e61 to reference group size. we keep it real, mistakes and all. 🤜🏻

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters I was wondering if you meant 58mm! Thanks for the clarification.

Yeah their own website doesn’t make that claim, the GS3 they refer to as MP or saturated and the Mini they say integrated.

@@greysuit17 That's correct :) The mini has an integrated group head and the GS3 has a semi saturated group head

Thank you. I enjoyed doing it as I had used both loved sharing the info

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters He was mocking you, man.

They both need great water filtration. The MP gs3 head is really the only difference in the maintenance cost, the seal kits for it allowing the variable pressure

The gs3 is pretty much a single head coffee machine, it can go as quick and you can make them. So 30 cups per hour, the mini has the smaller front boiler and will be a bit slower in the recovery process so maybe 20

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters thanks for this. how does it compare to like a standard truly commercial machine like a classic or PB what do you think their hourly capacity would be of those? I get the impression they will phase out the linea mini in favour of the micra. or they may rebrand the Mini as commercial machine for small setups like shops and guesthouses and things like that.

They have the same boiler, but o think the short steam wand on the mini is allowing less moisture buildup and being a shorter wand it’s more responsive

Yes, so much choice, thru our videos we use the same gear, differ brands of this product types would be fine to use, but it depends on the quality and the budget you have

that's ok. every stupid is entitled to comment. It is open to the public, probably he is a bot or a shoesmith and never had coffee in his entire life.

The Gs3 would suit better as it has the larger front boiler. The mini group head is a little lower for large cups and is a bit harder to see the shots. For that volume I would go to the classic

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters thank you! ❤️

Hmmmm. I checked the specs in their downloads, so maybe they wrote it wrong. 👍🏻

I’d share links, but KZfaq won’t let me! It’s on their lamarzoccousa website under specs as well as in the product sheet. Hope that helps!

Congrats Roel! 🙂

@@Jaroslav. Thanks a lot, it’ll be delivered tomorrow morning together with a Mazzer Mini Electronic A! Super excited!!

Excellent choice!

Awesome! Congratulations!!! You will love it. Happy brewing 🤙🏻

Yes, Mini is the best steamer espresso from La Marzocco

MIni with the Slayer mod or new pre infusion is better than GS3.

Nice

No, just a lm entry level at $7k 😂

The needle is a bypass valve, all coffee machines start at 1 bar then go up to 9 bar, there is a moment in the water hitting the puck that has to make back pressure to then build up in the puck and group handle. Then it will be bypassed at the pressure you choose from the needle valve

Because of the name that has certain technology patented. Technology that makes superior quality espresso. Comparable options such as? You can't compare these with your domestic E61 rockets or lelits, skip those. What's left? You can compare it to a two group Linea classic that costs twice as much and actually DOES produce very comparable results. I bet it's because of the name. Lol 😄

@@jurgenzielmann1108 Decent, Londinium, ECM, Simonelli, QuickMill…. There are quite a few better alternatives for the money. I’m not sure their patented tech is so much better that for the money the espresso it makes is leaps ahead better. Especially for a home scenario. To each their own but if I was going to splurge I’d get a Faeme e61 Jubilee just because they look cool and most definitely makes just as good shots like and handful of other machines I mentioned. The La Marzocco fan boy train doesn’t do it for man. Just to note I’ve worked with a Strada and had friends in the industry with the GS3 and mini and know about all their short comings. Don’t kid yourself that it’s the perfect machines.

In what way better exactly? And better for whom?

@@jurgenzielmann1108 Decent I’d argue can pull the best shot because of all the profiling options especially for the money. Flow profiling on the others more than competes with the saturated group head. Lever machines are fantastic if you want to put in the work. If it’s for home use that’s up to the buyer to decide. If it’s for a cafe than quality goes down and really it doesn’t matter except consistency and ease of use and speed.

@@greysuit17 If you're answering your own question than you just commented for bait. Different things matter to different people. Why do people buy Rolex's? IPhones? These are machines with commercial parts from a manufacturer with a long history. Go to most Thirdwave shops and a large majority of them are using LM. All e61's have their own shortcomings and the Decent's design and sound it makes are awful. Then there's the LM Home service, for the less handy that's quite useful.

it,s the original switch design on the linea classic, it,s an iconic look. and yes its a switch, but who really want to push a button when you can slide into a great espresso. 😂

Are you really staring at a pressure gauge every time you pull a shot? Are you changing the temperature fives times a day? Does changing it in the app ruin your day? Need a timer in your face because you don't use scales? Get a Rocket man, get your E61 that isn't showing it's age. Get a Bianca.

@@jurgenzielmann1108 I have an ECM Synchronika. I agree with all of your points. Except when you seem to be dismissive of the utility of my suggestions. There are the extreme modifications allowed by Decent to others that are starting to offer flow control as well as pressure and temperature changes but they are all difficult to change because they are hidden. Espresso companies appear to want to offer more user control but it all gets hidden. I have a scale and it will display the timer. Knowing the timer should start once the lever is pulled it makes sense to be on the PID display. Some of it is convenience and others have to do with giving the user more flexibility.

There we go - the Decent card. I knew it! Well that's the good news for you, there's a Decent. Or a GS3 MP, it has a shot timer and it has a gauge almost (sorry for repeating the expression) right in your face. Or under our chin. Depends how high your machine sits, maybe a Linea could sit perfectly high enough for you to see the pressure gauge. Your suggestions are excellent and valid, it's what you want and I have to respect that. But leave the little Linea alone man, you're not the target audience for the machine. Saying a machine shows it's age because it doesn't have a timer for one thing is wicked. Don't be looking at other machines and point what they don't have or have in a way that isn't a Decent. The Linea mini does not show it's age, it's perfect for a certain type of businesses and individuals who are beyond happy pulling from anywhere from 3 to hundreds of shots daily with extreme consistency. Or maybe it indeed shows it's age in how well it ages. Personally I'd think the Linea Mini should have AV option available, or ABR. Hell both GS3 and Linea Mini should be available with ABR, but that costs money and would mean a whole different machine at a different price range for a whole different use case. For someone who may not want these features but would need to pay for them regardless. If you're looking for features, you need to look elsewhere. La Marzocco is highly educated and innovative company in the engineering field, they could make these exactly as you/me want, but they also know very well who these machines are for. We're good! We're both right, or wrong, there's a machine for everyone.

@@jurgenzielmann1108 I agree there is a machine for everyone. I also believe I am a target audience for the mini. I never put it down. I acknowledged it is a premium machine. My reason for commenting. We need good competition in order for these companies to stay relevant. I never meant to imply the Decent is the ultimate machine. I only mentioned it to say there are different levels of customization. I could make the same comment about the Synchronika. Don't mess with an excellent espresso machine. Except I hope they mess with it to keep it current. You are taking my comments as attacking your machine. That is not my intent. I hope all the top tier companies continue to innovate. If they don't then we lose.

Yes man, I'm trying to stay unbiased here and sorry for coming across offended! I didn't mean to. I don't own a Linea Mini, or a GS3 (yet?). I used to own a Classic and had a chance to pull shots with the Mini frequently at some point in time. It's excellent, I have not seen a domesticated machine that can do what the Mini does at a level of a Classic. The Classic didn't have a shot timer on display, it didn't really matter. That was back then, I know we're going forward but oh that nostalgic feeling of a Classic at home calls my name. I love how simple, how little there is to it yet the cup it makes so...majestic! I appreciate Decent for bringing a Decent to the people who need it. I'd be very ignorant of me dismiss people's lust for more control. I appreciate other manufacturers, but the Linea mini hits me differently that all those other machines. Anyways, I think you know what I mean... Have a good day/evening!

It’s another way to say it’s a 58mm head. It’s saturated but not the e61 specific design. But yes, it did come across odd. Sorry

Yes in the top front plate and face plate only, it looks nicer.

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters guess most people never take them off - flat heads are like a guaranteed slip and scratch to me 😬

Yes, you have to very careful, I have never slipped with them. 🤭

It’s will be covered in timber soon and then for sale! 🤙🏻

its a record of data, not a control app, it will evolve in the future

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters I dont want to record dada

Yes all new machines have smaller restrictiors in them to increase water pressures and flow, they will block up if filteration is addressed

La scala? yes indeed, it is anti corrosion tank. No shit

Sure, it’s on the cards. Just have not had one in the shop for a while

Spot on!!
