This may not be everyone's cup of tea (or coffee in this case)…. Some might even neg me but go easy on me as this is my first post :)

For anyone that missed last years promotion. Not as good as compared to last year but still something. No 12 month free coffee subscription this time and no accessories kit.

I believe the 15 percent discount applies to individual home coffee machine purchases (excluding the new Linea Mini), home coffee machine + grinder packages (excluding the new Linea Mini) and the mazzer mini grinder.

Definitely not a cheap piece of machinery but a solid investment for those who want to take their home barista game to the next level. I'll be upgrading from a Breville Barista Express.

While stock lasts…

Delivered or pickup from Sydney or Melbourne.

  NGL, 5800$ machine and no timer is something crazy. Whilst I do respect people who do buy this for the design aspect, in terms of performance aspect I still can't help feel its a very underwhelming puchase with no additional functions than a breville dual boiler.

    OP, if you really wanted to up your coffee game, I might suggest you would post on coffeesnobs with what kind of features you want such as fast heat up time, dual boiler or HX, budget etc etc.

    There are better machines than micra, the only thing micra provides is a saturated group head, fast heat up time. At this budget you have a lot of flexibility with additional things like flow control device, bigger boilers, pre infusion, post infusion. Even Crem one would be able to "up your coffee game".

    Design aspect is the only main reason you would buy the micra.

    I have to agree but buying a La Marzocco isn't about getting value, it's about buying into the brand. I feel like they're a little out of touch for pricing their machines so high with such few features. It's the same reason why Lamborghinis and Ferraris exist, every hobby has some prosumer level.

      I agree, coming from a soon to be rocket r nine owner, its still crazy to me how la marzocco milks their consumers. The GS3 now super outdated with its design and honestly a failure for what was supposed to be a pressure profiling machine rather than a leaky o ring consuming machine, its surprising to me they wouldn't replace the GS3 with the new strada but instead put an insance price tag for it.

        Absolutely, but I think everyone got a refund or some form of compensation because there was miscommunication for warranty liability between retailer and distributor contracts. Very sad, those machines were an absolute steal.

    The coffee is consistent but it’s not dramatically better than other machines. You are paying for commercial build quality, great steam pressure and countertop brand value. I went from a gaggia classic pro with gaggiuino mod to the micra and honestly the espresso is the same. Making 5 drinks takes less than 10 minutes instead of 25 though.

  Came here to post the deal - was waiting for this for over 2-3 months as the staff indicated earlier in the year that they would put some offers out in the June. I ordered earlier in the week and picked it up from the store today (Bought Micra by itself for 5099, which is probably a better deal)

  What water are people using with these machines and do you service it every year?
  La Marzocco machines seem to have specific water requirements and want you to service is every year at a cost of around $500.

  Any other non-e61 machines worth considering?

      Thank you for taking the time to respond. It helps.

      If the DBD was more aesthetically pleasing, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat.

      Interesting advice you received from LM re. descaling! Today i was advised at the Melbourne LM Showroom to never descale the machine myself.

      In fact they dont recommend it at all and stressed on using filtered water.

      Great news about not needing to get the insanely expensive service from them to maintain the warranty. Do you have that in writing from them?

      • 

        devisticshash on 30/06/2024 - 20:46

        You're right about the descaling part. No where does it say that in the manual.
        I must've read something on it from somewhere else which would have caused me to think that. My bad, sorry for that. Do you also know why we shouldn't descale?

        Here's the email:

        "Hi XXX,

        Thanks for your email.

        The service is $499.
        The cost does not fluctuate as we work off a checklist, and the service is preventative maintenance, rather than reactive maintenance (which means each service we do the same thing to prevent those parts from failing, rather that replacing them IF they have failed)
        You do not need to service your machine for the warranty but it is highly recommended.

        Broken down, the cost is $143 for call out, $143 for labour and $213 for parts.
        Let me know if you have any other questions I can help with.

        Warm regards,
        Caitlin Bates"

          @devisticshash: Saw this post from a member of LMLU Facebook page:

          ---

          Hi Derek,

          Thank you for reaching out!

          We generally don't recommend prophylactically descaling our machines due to their complex hydraulic system. As he mentions in the video, this can cause bits of scale to clog things up.

          You're already doing everything that we recommend to alleviate the risk, and that's really what we recommend.

          Prevention rather than reaction.

          Draining your steam boiler monthly and using proper water should keep the scale down to a minimum in your machine, and in fact, a thin layer of scale is honestly a good thing as it can help protect the steel.

          As long as it doesn't grow so much that the scale itself causes issues, it's okay, and what you're already doing will prevent that from happening

          Thank you!

          Cheers,
          Chris

  Anyone cares to share their experience with the Micra?
  Have looked at various forums/reddit and seems like Micra is mostly positive, consistent shot quality and built like a tank.
  Only downside might be lack of pre-infusion (unless plumbed), no flow control, short steam wand, low clearance, reliance on app (e.g. changing brew temp), no shot timer etc. which aren't necessarily deal breakers.
  Wondering if should bite the bullet and call it "end-game" (for now)
