Dalla Corte Mina

Mina is Dalla Corte's machine built around a 54 mm portafilter, a non-standard size the company claims as its own distinguishing feature against the more common 58 mm diameter. The group has a stated capacity of 0.5 l, and the overall boiler is 3 l, fed by a fixed water connection included as standard.

The core of the control system is the DFR (Digital Flow Regulation) valve, which regulates water flow to a stated precision of 0.01 mm and can be electronically programmed via app to open and close dynamically during extraction — turning preinfusion into a settable parameter rather than a fixed consequence of the plumbing. Recipes built in the Mina app can be saved and recalled.

At a maximum draw of 2850 W and 230/240 V supply, it remains a machine aimed at heavy professional or semi-professional use rather than a compact home bench: 33 kg and a 38.5x41x38.5 cm footprint. The manufacturer's site does not specify boiler type, boiler material, or whether a PID or 3-way valve is fitted — the only source available for pump type is a retailer/forum, not the official spec sheet.
