Stop wasting your money at the coffee shop and bring it into your home. The Linea Mini is for those that are serious about espresso. Since I'm not much of a coffee drinker, I can only compare this to my KWS-700. It's purpose-built and comes from a professional lineage that provides the best experience you can get. You can have this setup like I do in Helen with a hard line or use the built-in water storage. If you've got bad water, you'll want to pick up some Third Wave Water packets to make sure you don't ruin the machine. If you don't have a scale, you'll also want to add the Acaia Lunar Scale and if you're missing a grinder you'll want to pick up a Mahlkonig X54 Grinder for a well-rounded experience.  Don't forget to add some OG Coffee to test your new Linea Mini out as well.  Features: EE paddle brew control system Temperature control with internal stepped turn wheel Integrated brew group (similar performance to the saturated brew group, but much more compact) Indicator lights provide machine status feedback Pre-programmed one-second pre-infusion Analog interface Brew boiler: Stainless steel, .17L (filled via HX system) Steam boiler: Stainless steel, 3.5L Reservoir: 2L ETL/NSF certified for commercial use Shipping Information This item is drop shipped from Coffeehaus in Michigan. lead times are 6-14.
