I recently picked up a Linea 3AV. I'm looking for some legs that will raise it off the counter by no more than an inch. I'd prefer something clean looking that won't scratch the counter top.

If I were you, and I might be finding myself in need of a similar solution...

I'd just find some bolts with the proper threading, and pick up four rubber bumper-type things from Home Depot that are designed for table or chair feet. Keep in mind, just like a grinder, an espresso machine, even a big 3-group, it likes to move to the left (as the portafilters are inserted).

Drilling out some cheap 1 inch dowel stock to accept the bolt would reduce sway, you could paint them black for looks. Add some nuts and you have leveling legs. 1 foot of 1" dowel would probably cost a buck.

Try to find the Italian (i.e. non-NSF) legs.
I can't find my Italian La Marzocco parts list or I could give you the part number.
You could call Espresso Parts and ask Devon.

I went to Home Depot and found some nice stainless steel feet. Total price including tax was under $2.00.
