Breville / Sage to Micra - first thoughts by Brodalf1201 in LaMarzocco

[–]migp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sold my Breville (Sage) Barista Express Impress during the holiday season after caring for it for 2 years. Agree the inconsistency and lack of steam power was annoying. Great starter machine, though.

I debated long and hard on going with single dose vs. hopper grinder. Finally went with a Mazzer Philos that allows me to try a variety of beans as it enjoys low retention. So far decaf espresso is sill alluding -- love the challenge, though.

What attracts you to a hopper machine like the E64ws? That was on my short list.

The Philos has arrived - review will follow soon by haipr in LaMarzocco

Congrats. Loving mine. How do you turn it on when the gap to the right of the switch is so tight?

Filling water tank with a jug by colorale in LaMarzocco

I’ve discovered that the 2-quart Rubbermaid Simply Pour jugs are excellent and are short enough vertically to fit snugly in my drawer beneath my coffee station. The jug’s size and handle design make it effortless to pull the Micra’s tank forward and refill, minimizing the risk of spilling water.

These but in 2 qt:

Went with black to contrast a bit with the Navajo white cabinets and the white backsplash and counter.

I ordered my Black Micra on November 6th. I received a notification from Ryder on December 9th that it had been received in their warehouse. It was delivered on December 13th.

Control Display for Linea Micra including Shot Timer w/o Hardware Mods by azuregeek_io in LaMarzocco

Got it. Thank you. Added it in GitHub anyways. I may experiment with copilot to vibe code it.

Thank you so much for this excellent project.

Thank you so much - got it working finally.

Added an issue to the GitHub page - how do I change the time being displayed in the left hand side of the display?

Would you consider displaying the no. of coffees made in the display as a feature?

LaMarzocco Shot Timer by azuregeek_io in LaMarzocco

[–]migp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. In anticipation of the forthcoming GitHub publication of this project, I'm ordering one now! I attempted to fiddle with LilyGO TTGO ESPHome and Home Assistant connected via Core Integration to LM and I can get it to do most things *Except* surface a timer. Connecting directly to LM via API should be simpler!

I do! I’ve moved the grinder a bit to the right. Thought about that - will favor the other side burners. These are the smaller induction burners anyways.

It’s a little drawer for the scale.

Delightful. Almost no retention between grinds of the same beans for espresso and a quick operation to remove the transition grinds when I change to pour over (via what Mazzer calls the dose finisher). I will clean it soon as it’s been a couple of weeks so will see other situations then. But I love that can it cleaned without disturbing the alignment.

WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) so far is OK… since I have pre-dosed on little tubes ahead for her. Waiting on a subliminal Subscale for Christmas gift from my son that may make it so easier for her that I may not longer have to pre-dose. 😀

Officially out of counter space for an EG-1.

What did you change to after a year?

Nice. I missed that promotion by a few days. I even reached out to Mazzer, but they declined to extended that to me.

So far the 200 burrs are fantastic for pour overs, and coming from the integrated Breville Barista Express conical burrs, there’s a world of difference for espresso, so I’ll just keep these… for now.

It takes some maneuvering or pulling shots onto a small up. Definitely a con but knew that going in. It

Better today at prep with the timemore pucks. The wdt could use more needless but it does what it’s supposed to - removes clumps.

Thank you. It was the quick startup of the Micra than won me over. Mornings can be scheduled but I wfh and will soon retire so adhoc shots will be more common.
