La Marzocco releases Brew by Weight for Linea Mini

I have the tray as well and used it with my old Lunar. The 2021 model has the exact same outer dimensions and fits just fine. So if the LM model is a regular Lunar with special firmware as LM says it should be no problem

La Marzocco releases Brew by Weight for Linea Mini

Well, I replaced my original Acaia Lunar with the 2021 model after I accidentily dropped it too many times. So if my clumsiness in handling scales continues I'll probably replace it with this version eventually

La Marzocco Linea Mini User Experience

Well, I just ordered the water tubing and a filter kit: I was already considering it after moving to new house where reaching the espresso machine with a fresh water line is much less difficult... but this new FW with it's line pressure preinfusion option sealed the deal.

The Baratza Sette 270Wi deserves more love
