Home Comforts
Dan Harvey, La Marzocco’s Home Manager for the UK, talks us through the diminutive charm of the Linea Mini
Words by Dan HARVEY
We are living in an age when consumers have become more conscious and curious of their purchases than ever before. From knowing the traceability of a particular coffee to the overall ethos behind our most loved brands, we have a hunger for knowledge and a desire to curate our own, tangible experiences, even in the comfort of our own homes. Lifestyle brands, such as Rapha and Patagonia, enrich the lives of their customers by thinking outside of the box and offering something out of the ordinary. The popularity of these brands show that we’re in it for the long term; we want to be advocates for our favourite things.
‘The machine retains the design and performance and quality of a La Marzocco machine but boasts a reduced footprint that makes it perfect for the kitchen’
Born with the idea of our favourite things in mind, La Marzocco then introduced a new machine specifically designed for the home espresso enthusiast: the Linea Mini. With similar professional grade performance tucked away in a more compact and ergonomic package, the Linea Mini has a dual boiler system to allow optimal brewing and powerful steaming. It also boasts pre-programmed pre-infusion, a hidden water reservoir, an easily accessible temperature dial and LED barista lights so you can always closely inspect the espresso’s extraction.
The machine retains the design and performance and quality of a La Marzocco machine but boasts a reduced footprint that makes it perfect for the kitchen, allowing you to be the curator of your own coffee experience. As more people delve deeper into the world of speciality coffee, the more they understand the multitude of variables that come in to play when making high-grade brewed coffee. The Linea Mini allows the home barista to adjust, fine-tune and control these variables themselves. By putting the ‘at home’ barista firmly in the driver’s seat, the Linea Mini allows you to bask in the daily ritual and anticipation of espresso preparation. EJ
