La Marzocco Linea Mini

Yep, that’s the Kanji for “slave”…

LM Australia no longer lets us us sell their prosumer stuff and receive their miniscule margins because we’re in the naughty corner… Is it because we prefer our shoe salesman to sell Converse over Nike or that we don’t have a hipster beard?

What we can tell you is that they don’t like feedback, unless it’s positive.

• If you’d like to know why, we’re more than happy to let you have the full story. It’s a doozy.
• If your heart is set on a Linea mini, by far the best way to buy one in Australia is via Specht Design. Why not support a little guy when you can?

Our recommendations for superior (in our opinion) options which are price competitive and far, far smarter out of the box:

• Victoria Arduino Eagle One Prima
• Rocket Espresso R Nine One
• Rocket Espresso Bicocca
