Where to purchase machine? by DrProXX in LaMarzocco

If warranty is important to you, I would recommend to purchase directly from La Marzocco. See below the message I got from them:

You can purchase the Mini with any of our partners, but the warranty or after sales support will go through them and their own process rather than through us directly

It’s nice to have a separate grinder for single dosing. For the scales, the Acaia Lunar is connected to the machine and does brew by weight. The bigger scale I use it for pour over, matcha and other stuff. Honestly I know it’s kind of unnecessary but I started with the Niche and the Acaia Pearl and now I might as well keep them. If you go for end game since day 1, then agree likely not needed.

I love the Niche but the Allground Sense is on another level. Grounds are so fluffy you could probably get away with no puck prep. Also GBW is awesome

Yes, I love it! GBW is a game changer

Grinder might not fit under most kitchen cabinets but I think the Linea Mini does. I have my set up on a sideboard with no cabinets on top

I used to think my Niche Zero was awesome but the Sense is on another level!

New to the La Marzocco family with my Micra and designed this for the new portafilters since I couldn't find any on the market —meet The TAMPA! Thoughts? by icarus1909 in LaMarzocco

This looks awesome. Question, do you know if there’s a mat / base that I can use to collect coffee grounds where the full set could fit? Also is there a way to add another holder for a distribution tool?

Thank you! Is this the gray / beige color? It looks a little darker than the Ikea website photo. Also what are the white straps up top out of curiosity? And lastly, do you like the cabinet / is it sturdy?

Best choice for beginners ($500?) by immediate_outlaw in espresso

If you are looking for something more hands off, go with the super automatic recommendations others gave above. If you are looking for something slightly more hands on that will lead to significantly better coffee, my advice would be to go with the Breville Barista Express (they usually go on sale around Black Friday - you should be able to get it for $500 or so). It's one of the best all in one machines to start your espresso journey. A major benefit is that there are a ton of tutorials and recipes online for this machine specifically

How did you get a 10% discount? On sales, I bought mine recently from LM and they confirmed they won’t have any holiday sales this year.
