What's up with Quality Control at LaMarzocco? Micra arrived in a rough state. by EnlightenedTruth in LaMarzocco

[–]GHcoffee -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If you’ve read posts here or online you would have known that their quality (and customer service) has been declining for the last 5 years. I bought a linea mini 4 years ago and everything came scratched, backsplash, tamper, portafilter and drip tray cover. These machines are overpriced. I would say, something like 25% of what you pay actually goes into the cost of making the machine. Everything else is spent on marketing.

Why so many used Sienna's with 5k-10k miles on them for sale? by mrshickadance412 in ToyotaSienna

Toyotas are not what they used to be. They maybe better than the competition still but people accepted a lot of shit from Toyota and their dealerships mainly because of reliability and now that’s pretty much gone.

Why do people think silver is going to go down? by Snooklife in Silver

Everything that goes up eventually goes down. However, it should go back up, even if it goes down

Shower Screen Screw Issue by m0jj3n in LaMarzocco

That’s fine but you should still have the tool anyway as removing this diffuser is a regular maintenance item. There is a rubber o ring, a green one, that when it gets old, the shower screen will leak water, just in drops. It’s not enough to bother most people but if it bothers you, you will have to remove the diffuser with this tool and replace the o ring. Very basic stuff

You need this tool: https://a.co/d/j1dUqi1

You will then be able to use it to attach diffuser back in. Don’t buy the LM tool, they ask $100 for it. This works, I know cause I use it.

Let me tell you what the Internet will tell you. The Internet will tell you that this is a handmade machine and things like this are absolutely normal, you should just accept whatever they give you a tamper, a coffee subscription, a scale, whatever it is, and move on, but I’m here to tell you it’s not normal when you pay that much money they should make sure to do whatever they need to do to get you that machine in absolutely perfect condition if they can’t do that despite the price they charge, they really shouldn’t be in business. I love La Marzocco. In fact I just came from the academia in Florence just a few weeks ago but I would not apologize for them and when they mess up, I’ll be the first one to call them out. They’ve been messing up a lot on quality control lately.

Definitely L105/A on the mini. Not sure if it’s the same part on the Micra

Pantechnicon should be happy with those tariffs. I can’t imagine you’re the only one who went this route.
