La Marzocco Linea Micra vs La Marzocco Linea Mini

“You are making the common beginner mistake of falling in love with a machine, while your first priority should be to choose the best grinder you can afford. While Libra is a good mid-range grinder, an end-game machine like the Micra should be paired with an end game grinder. I would much prefer a Profitec Move (which is much more feature rich than the Micra) with a Mazzer Philos, Zerno Z1/Z2, Lagom P80, Weber EG-1, or Kafatek Flat Max or SDRM to a Micra with a Libra.”

“Dude the linea mini scams are EVERYWHERE on marketplace.  Always $2-2.5k. Always claim to be used for a barista cart or home use. Always <1yr old, first owner.  The profile is always private - or if not, only has friends from India despite ostensibly being a local person. Their location is always *slightly* further than you can drive right at that moment, but hey, maybe if you put a down payment on it, you can head out there this weekend! After all, think of all the money you're saving! The trip will pay for itself!  Don't do it. Don't put a penny down til you physically see the machine. ”
