La Marzocco Linea Micra vs Rancilio Silvia

“Commerical machines are using a steam pressure way higher than your Rancillio could reach. This being the case unfortunately you are experiencing a "skill issue", as most Baristas aren't 'ejecting milk' everywhere. Milk steaming is tough, it takes some practice and patience. Turn it up and get cracking. Or if you enjoy your milk being mixed with a good portion of boiler water just keep on keeping on.”

“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.”
