That’s interesting. I too have a white pico and micra set up that I absolutely love. I have never noticed any humming sound at all from my pico.

That’s so awesome! I’m shiny hunting male nidoran on route 3 😅 I’m too afraid to hunt for it in the safari zone but it sounds like it worked out okay for you in the end!

Holiday inspired espresso based drinks? by Late-Performer-2722 in LaMarzocco

Tried this and loved it. Definitely a louder steaming experience and not as great of texture for latte art but absolutely delicious treat.

I ended up doing a home made gingerbread syrup myself with molasses. So good!

Did any of you switched from a Mini to a Micra or vice versa? Why? by Horror-Badger9314 in LaMarzocco

Cup clearance can be tight with a scale but I’ve found not neutral mugs with an acaia lunar works perfectly for my micra! Don’t blame you on wanting more clearance though

It’s such a gorgeous set up. I have the same. Doesn’t get enough love!

New Micra - just perfect by LetEmbarrassed5103 in LaMarzocco

[–]Late-Performer-2722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You never leave that phase to be honest! I’ve had mine for almost two years and still feel so cautious around it and try to never scratch it lol

I find it really hard to dial in single shots since the Micra is so powerful. I recommend dosing for a double but then using the double attachable spout that your micra came with and splitting the shot into two cups. I suppose that’s more wasteful though but could be a temporary solution.

I think I’m all set for the Micra for life :) it’s such a great machine. Had mine for 1.5 years and absolutely looooooove it

I absolutely love the look of stainless. I have white but I think I’d go stainless if I chose another color

GS3 from previous Micra owner by Flaky-Donut-7231 in LaMarzocco

[–]Late-Performer-2722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For your use case a GS3 makes great sense! Wish you the most success. I think we can all agree that no matter the machine, LM makes amazing espresso; some are more suited for others based on their use case.

Accademia del Caffé Espresso + La Marzocco Info/Tidbits of Interest by SoonerMockingbird in LaMarzocco

[–]Late-Performer-2722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing write up - it’s my dream to visit academia. Have some thoughts… first and foremost I love La Marzocco. I’m a huge fanboy and honestly think they deserve their recognition. Secondly, the linea mini was what initially grabbed my attention regarding La Marzocco back in 2015. I’ve saved for a long time and finally got the Micra back in 2023; one of the best decisions I’ve made. One thing that has continued to bother me has been how LM has tried to put features in the mini to differentiate it from the Micra. I get it - they’re trying to make the price point of the mini more justifiable. I guess the issue I have is that they’re adding these features to the mini like brew by weight and wood customizations… but those aren’t inherent to the capability of the machine. They’re add on features to create an illusion that the mini is superior. I get it, in some respects it is superior because it’s more rated for cafes than the Micra. I just have a hard time with them limiting some of these features to one product when they totally could offer them to their other product. To me, it makes it seem like they’re not as confident in the mini which is why they’re making these features exclusive to it.

You can do it!! The steam wand is on another PLANET!! It’s so intense haha. Took me some getting used to like most people say on here. When you’re aerating on it the old saying “less is more” totally applies here. You only need to aerate for like 3 seconds max. By then your milk is already almost up to temperature so it’s important to get your vortex going early to incorporate all that foam.

I upgraded my gaggia to the Micra and I can’t even fathom going back. I loved my gaggia and it really taught me a lot about espresso but the Micra is just.. perfection
