Making my Morning Brew on the La Marzocco Linea Mini

- Calling all baristas to critique my process so that I may one day pull shots worthy of someone in possession of such a machine!
I am a few months in with the Linea Mini and to date this is my process. I discovered very recently that my shot to shot variance seems to be largely from over relying on the Force Tamper and seemingly undertamping as a result. Started doing a final tamp with a traditional tamper after the force tamper and noticed it compact the bed a considerable amount further and slow down my extraction significantly.
I’ll continue to refine with that realization and incorporate any feedback I receive here as well before doing a fresh vid with a more dialed in process. Cheers!

I've had my Linea Mini for around a year. I can tell you one of my biggest mistakes was having it turn on in the morning and off at night. If your not using it a few times a day its not good just having it running. I always used Poland Spring water, checked the harness and it still scaled up. The reason of the scaling, the machine being left on without being used enough. I love my LM and it really does produce shots as good as any cafe you will visit but if you use it to make a few shots a day leaving it running is a bad idea from what i've been told.
Quite a satisfying process! I envy it since don't have room for so many equipment :)
I went a little overboard. It coincided with getting the mortgage for the ranch so I just said screw it, now or never haha. I love it though, and it’s been getting a ton of use
Ich würde mir erstmal eine gute Mühle kaufen
Good point. I got a new Linea Mini and I was shocked how big that thing is when I put it on the counter.
Eine wichtige komponente, ganz klar.@@meiklandsberger8816
Love the setup/workflow! Looking to get a Linea Micra in the future as my end game espresso machine.
Also, I kneww I recognized your voice! Is this channel completely separate from your previous one?
Would you mind listing your accessories? Your set-up looks great.
Thanks man, you bet, I've got another video that goes over the whole setup
Hi mental set up cool. Can you leave a link to the coffee glasses or reply to this comment with their name. Many thanks
What box is that where your tamping? It's very nice to hold everything
Wow! An eye-opening video. I have a new LM Linea Mini that I got less than a month ago. Red! I've been struggling to get good coffee. For some reason I've been grinding 18g shots on my Ceaddo E37S with the 21g basket and the coffee comes out way too strong and bitter. You use 14g and a 14g basket. I will definitely try that.
Funny to see you fight the Lunar scale. Those tactile buttons are so frustrating to use. I use mine in mode 2, which means tap to tare and tap to start timer. That's a lot of re-tap opportunities. Frustrating. I will use it in Mode 4, like you. Possible only re-tap need would be to turn the thing on.
Did you get a bottomless PF as part of the purchase or did you have to buy that separately? I didn't get one as part of the purchase. They're running USD135 (!!!) on their website.
What coffee beans do you use?
For a while I was doing 20grams in and 40 grams out @ 30 seconds. I've since changed to 18grams in and 32 grams out for a much more pleasant shot. If I want it not as strong I'll make it 18/36. I've had a few other expensive espresso machines but this is the only one from literally directly out the box I've been able to pull perfect shots after dialing in the beans literally every single time.
what kind of scale is that?
Could you tell us please where did you get the tamping station and the knock box ?
