This is not a deal for everyone and I may be negged into the penalty box for even sharing it.

But for those who want an LM machine - this is an insane offer, the best I’ve ever seen on an LM.

I’ve got the micra myself and would say witho it a doubt there is no benefit that the mini would have over it for the home user. It’s an amazing machine - having come from a rocket Mozzafiato Tipo V and an ECM Elektronika and also a breville barista express.

No it’s not for everyone - and no it’s not cheap. But if you wanted this as an endgame machine for no other reason other than you want an LM, then this is the deal for you.

FYI: Also comes with an accessories kit which is a nice touch - I believe it's the $379 one on the website.

      set it up in the garage and when you say you're going to grab coffee for the both of you, duck out the back and make some? Make sure you use reusable coffee cups ;)

      • icejam on 01/06/2023 - 21:17

        then put a sign “specialty coffee - $3.5, ozbargainer pays $1” outside your house to show her that you will make a profit out of this investment. Call all local ozbargainers to come around and buy a cup of coffee off you to demonstrate how realistic the profit could be.

    Please don’t apologise. If it’s a good deal, it should be posted here.

    I don’t think it’s healthy for us on this site to consider certain deals to be for products “too good” for us. We should not take pride in being as cheap as possible.

    If there’s value for someone, then it’s a deal worth posting! Thanks for your contribution 😊

      Agree. It's Ozbargain, not Oztightwad.

      With that said, I don't think I could personally justify the expense - but for those who can, go for it if it's a (relative) bargain.

      Seriously though, I can't agree with you more. There has been an influx of negative members lately and personally it has put me off submitting deals, so I imagine it has had a similar effect on others also.

      No I didn’t. I’m currently working away from my home so I bring my micra with me - which doesn’t have an area to plumb in. But may think of doing it when I move back home.

    The price increases on LM gear over the past few years has been insane. I paid $5990 for my Linea Mini ~3 years ago, and they are $8490 now.

    That not withstanding, this is a great deal in the current market. Just a shame the included subscription is St Ali rather than something decent ;)

    • Solrak on 01/06/2023 - 17:04
      +1

      I agree. I could maybe stomach paying $6k for a Mini and maybe $4k ish for a Micra new. They certainly do hold their valve used due to the price increases!

    • Pretzal on 01/06/2023 - 17:53

      • MrBillions on 06/06/2023 - 22:05

        That means it doubled in price in 7 years or was yours used?

        • Pretzal on 10/06/2023 - 12:41
          +1

          No I bought it new. Prices jumped in the US comparatively when La Marzocco home was introduced there. It made the Australian LMs seem really well priced - even though the mini was still $800-1000 more than equivalent Rockets and Profitec at the time. Don’t regret my decision - it was an excellent buy in retrospect. The introduction of LM home, Covid and a few minor upgrades (cool touch wands and ‘connected’) haven’t really been game changing upgrades so I’ve not wished to upgrade it. Still very happy with it.

    I never heard of this before, you can end up in penalty box if you get too much negs on a deal?
    Second one I would like to ask, I don't have the knowledge on coffee machines. What makes this machine so special that has that price tag? Is it like professional coffee machine that will withstand in time?

    • Solrak on 01/06/2023 - 17:08
      +1

      Yes, it will last! La Marzocco are pretty much the Rolls Royce of Espresso machines! They are used worldwide in a ton of commercial venues. The Micra is a recent addition to the domestic market. Before that, they really only had the bigger brother Mini or GS3 for the high end domestic user.

      You need to open your eyes at the coffee shops. They are everywhere.

      This is the low level one though. So you could use it at home easily for a professional level coffee but this is suited to like a coffee cart situation or maybe like pumping out 20-30 coffees at a small function. Wouldn't miss a beat.

      • youknow on 01/06/2023 - 20:27

        • serpserpserp on 02/06/2023 - 07:50

          Buy it for your workplace and then retire it after 3 years. Hope it doesn't get trashed in that period.

      • Solrak on 02/06/2023 - 15:42

        Actually, the Micra isn't really suited to pumping out more than 3 or 4 coffees back to back. After that, the recovery times increase so it wouldn't be ideal for a coffee cart or small functions venue. The Mini or GS3 on the other hand would be perfect in that scenario. They can pump out the coffee back to back due to bigger brew/steam boilers. This comes at the cost of longer heat-up times from start-up and increased power consumption. The Micra will be ready to rock and roll in 5 or so minutes from startup and is very power efficient in comparison.

        • serpserpserp on 02/06/2023 - 18:27

          Whoops I had the Micra mistaken for the mini. I thought the mini was usually this price?

      It's a pretty crappy bean so I don't think it contributes much to the cost.

      • MrBillions on 04/06/2023 - 12:09

        I reckon it is a popular entry level blend. Crowd pleaser for people who are not coffee snobs. It is ok.

        • stjep on 04/06/2023 - 14:15

          I think if you're buying this machine you are unlikely to be getting more St Ali beans and will probably go for single origin, but that's just me speaking out of my patoote. No idea what anyone other than me will be doing.
