La Marzocco’s Home program dropped a bomb on the coffee industry when it launched the Linea Mini in 2015. But the Linea Micra\u2014released in late 2023<\/a>\u2014upped the ante, by offering an entry-level portal into La Marzocco’s authentic Florentine world of design and manufacturing heritage. It’s fair to think of this machine as a scaled down version of the Linea Classic, and it’s easy to set up, boasts double boilers, PID, and full temperature control. This has become our go-to answer for the frequently asked question of, “What home espresso machine do you recommend?”<\/p>\n
