La Marzocco Linea Mini Idle Group Pressure at 0

Thanks for the link. Indeed it does seem like a 3 way valve problem. Has anybody had luck just cleaning it or does it typically require a replacement?

La Marzocco Linea Mini Idle Group Pressure at 0

Steam pressure is normal. At first I thought it was time for a new vacuum breaker due to the high water usage. Then I started to notice the brew pressure gauge acting strange

La Marzocco Linea Mini Idle Group Pressure at 0

My Linea Mini used to idle somewhere between 6 and 12 PSI. Recently, after brewing and during idle it goes to just slightly above 0. Brew pressure when brewing is exactly 9 PSI. I've tried adjusting the expansion valve but it doesn't seem to have helped. Do I just continue adjusting it until I see s...

La Marzocco Linea Mini noise

Same here. Slight movement of the power cord changes the noise level of the machine quite significantly. Let us know if you come up with a fix. I've settled on just nicely coiling the power cable and securing with some zip ties. It works most of the time. Also, water level and the intake tube may pl...

La Marzocco Mini bubbling/gurgling noises

My vacuum valve also required replacement. The repair is easy and LM service went above and beyond in detailing how to perform the replacement. I would give them a call to describe the issue to see how they can help you

Mazzer Major to a Monolith

Is there any taste difference between a Major and Monolith Flat? Is it more consistent? I don't want to spend the money and feel like it wasn't an upgrade

Mazzer Major to a Monolith

Now that preorders for Monoliths are around the corner I'm curious to get opinions on the upgrade that makes the most sense. I currently have a Major that I've used for quite a while with both a Bezzera and now a Linea Mini. My routine of single dosing, sweeping, and thwacking is growing tiresome so...

Purchase from vendor or manufacturer?

I was in a similar situation a few months back. I talked with some of the major retailers as well as LM USA prior to making a purchase. There was no price difference between them and I felt that LM was the most responsive and provided excellent prepurchase support. I went with them and received a fe...
