Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 бер 2023
- We give this beautiful custom lamarzocco linea mini built by specht design its annual service, replacing the safety valve, anti suction valve/shaft and completing a steam valve rebuild.
Adding a luminaire automatic shot timer to keep an eye on those extraction times without having to push a button.
Then running test shots and drinking coffee.

Mitch I can’t thank you enough to your attention to detail and your precision! ❤
You're welcome mate. You & this machine deserve the attention.
They have made a fantastic looking machine regardless of its faults.
Definitely... The perfect machine doesn't really exist that I know if.
That was a great video, Mitch. I'm so glad I found your channel. I have owned the Linea Mini since December of 2015. I could not be more happy with it. Adding the $500 USD Control board and using the La Marzocco App allows the user to set the temp, choose a pre-brewing time (pre-infusion is available if the machine is plumbed in) and has a great cleaning cycle on it. Because of your video, I will rebuild my steam wand valve assembly. I would love to know what you did to this customer's hot plate to secure it better. Thanks again for doing this. It is a big help.
Thank you so much for the feedback.
I used some thin tubing (sliced down the middle) to simply create a tighter fit. Feel free to pop me a message on Instagram or email if you need more info
@@mitchdoescoffee your video is very informative and I’m learning a lot. I recently purchased a used LMLM and it’s out of warranty so I’d like to do some work myself if possible and your videos are a great guide.
That being said, my mini worked great until today, but now I have no steam from the wand or hot water from the steam boiler when turning the knobs. The steam gauge is showing 0 and water coming out of the steam boiler release/ drain valve is room temp. There is no water or steam coming up the clear tubing either.
So I’m thinking it’s the heating element, but wondering if it could be the vacuum breaker, preventing it from closing and thus not starting the heating process?? I’m not sure how to check and troubleshoot that without just replacing it. I’d like to try and DIY before calling in a tech for $$$.
Your advice or thoughts are greatly appreciated.
@@chrisgiese1964 hey mate. Thanks for tuning in & your feedback.
I would definitely start with the breaker as it is a standard service part anyway. (I would replace all of the valves while you are doing this) as I would recommend doing them every 12 months 👍
Awesome video. Super helpful. Do you have the part numbers for the vacuum breaker internals and where you source the service parts from in Australia handy?
Thanks for tuning in mate.
I would always suggest using coffeeparts.com
The website is pretty straightforward with diagrams for all common machines.
I'd love to get my hands on one of those and rip out that paddle and setup auto volumetrics. The paddle has always felt like a silly idea to me. Just use a button.
We have something on the way for this machine... 😜 stay tuned.
A great resource for LMLM owners thank you. Does the steam wand need doing annually or less often than the other parts you changed?
Thank you Glen. If you are steaming milk often, I would recommend doing this as a part of your standard annual service as the parts really are not too expensive & will give you some peace of mind. ☕️
@@mitchdoescoffee thank you 🙏
when you say you go over all the fittings in the machine, does that just mean loosening them a bit and tightening them back up to the correct tightness?
Yes, that is correct.
Hi Mitch, i just bought a used LMLM and the whole mobile cart with water booster and water filter. Can you please give me some tips on how to descale the machine? Thank you! Cheers to your channel
Congratulations on your purchase.
I would start with the cafetto LOD in the water tank & run a simple 30 minute soak.
I will do a video on this soon.
@@mitchdoescoffee thanks Mitch. Should i bypass the booster and and connect directly to a tank with descaler
@d4rk_entityy Yes, that is an easy way to do it. 👍
@@mitchdoescoffee I am really looking forward to you putting up a video on that soon. I was planning on running a descaled through the water tank for 30 minutes but was concerned about how to completely flush out the solution as to not cause any damage.
@tvitarelli that will be fine... just ckean the tank, then run 2 complete water cycles afterwards to ensure there is no contamination.
Hey, great video mate - random question, but would it be feasible on the Linea Mini to swap the hot water spout and stream wands around so wand was on the left etc?
Without trying it myself, I wouldn't saybwith 100% certainty... But I really can't see why you couldn't do it.
You would need to get some hard lines custom made as the water & steam lines are not interchangeable. But with a little bitnof creativity, I can't see why not.
thanks for the detailed video! just wondering, for the different fittings, is there a torque spec sheet anywhere, or is "decently snug" all that's needed? and do any special rules apply to particular fittings?
Beswick engineering have a torque guideline for all types of fittings/materials. I've found this to be very helpful when working on any machines.
www.beswick.com/resources/fitting-installation-guidelines/
@@mitchdoescoffee oh incredible, thank you! interesting that the torques are actually not very high! at least not compared to common bicycle torques I' m used to :)
@hao-tongyan4872 that is very true. I was a bicycle mechanic for 16 years & aluminium/stainless steel definitely requires much higher tourqe settings than brass/copper as the softer materials will assist with sealing. Obviously, they can't be used as handle bars though. 🤣
@@mitchdoescoffee that is... not unless they find out that brass/copper can be more aero ;)
@@hao-tongyan4872 oh no. Dont tell them that. 🤣
Hi ... very beneficial video ...... i have one question how can i descale the machine... do u have a video explaining the process
Thank you!
Do you plan on doing a liquid descale? Or a powder?
@@mitchdoescoffeehow do you liquid descale?
And what is a powder descale?
Great video thank you! I have Three questions, First where do you use to source your parts? Second I have a linea mini that is plumbed in and the Flojet pump constantly works even when the machine is off. I have constant water leak from the hose close to expansion valve, even though expansion valve is completely closed, I even changed the whole Vacuum steam breaker part, I appreciate your help with this. Third question is that I want to learn how to service my linea mini and reached out to LaMarzocco in the States a 100 times but they never let me take any classes as a technician, do not know why! Is there any other way to learn? Thank you again for your help.
Great questions. I will DEFINITELY be answering these questions in my upcoming Q&A video 🙏
@@mitchdoescoffeecan you tag me in it do not know where your Q&A is but I’m impatiently looking forward to it haha
@@miladsari8391 click the bell 🔔 and wait for next week's video 👍
@@mitchdoescoffee Mitch, did you get a chance to make the Q&A video?
@Oracleidol8 should be finished in the next week or so. I may have to break it up into 2 parts as I have had alot of questions to answer. 😬
Hi are you able to do a video on a gs3 ??
If I can get access to one for a few days, I certainly will. 🙏
How do I get in touch with you about getting you to install a shot timer on my Breville espresso machine?
Actually don’t worry. Just realised that it came with one, like it should..
You just had to... 🤣
Hahaha BURN!!!
@15:40 ummm
Just some bad workmanship... 👎
