The Linea Micra is the smallest La Marzocco: just over 33 cm tall, it fits even under kitchen wall cabinets. Inside are two boilers, one for steam and a tiny one for coffee built into the group, held at temperature by a PID. There is a single portafilter that converts, single spout, double spout or bottomless, without tools.
The shot starts from a paddle that looks mechanical but works an electric switch. Two gauges, on the group and on the steam boiler, show the pressure, and a hot-water spout lets you rinse the portafilter between coffees. The La Marzocco Home app adjusts the temperature, schedules group cleaning and sets when the machine switches on and off.
The two-litre tank means it need not be plumbed in, though a mains connection is still possible. The drip tray is magnetic and lifts off with one hand; the group diffuser needs cleaning by hand every day. It is for someone who wants a La Marzocco in an everyday kitchen, with controls pared back to essentials and a good grinder beside it.
