La Marzocco rocks in the Italian edition of Rolling Stone with Linea Mini – Hot Gadget of the Month. The description, by Riccardo Meggiato, follows here in an English version we have translated for you:
… “You’ll notice you’ve seen it everywhere. In the corner of a recording studio in one of the Lower East Side basements in New York. But also in a millionaire’s studio in the London city center. And what about in TV? There, amongst music videos and television series, one is featured every 30 seconds. Don’t smile; most likely SHE is probably sitting in your very own kitchen. Perhaps, she’s watching you while you’re reading this. She gets close. She puffs steam. She’s breathing down your neck. Hey enough with the jokes, one has never seen such a wild coffee machine – everything else is true: there are different kinds of machines, and La Marzocco’s Linea Mini, available in 6 colors is, well, the best thing that could ever happen to that prestigious Arabica your friend offered you from a return trip from Colombia. I’m telling you, I mean coffee. Linea Mini has a dual boiler, a hot water spout for tea, a 2.5 l water reservoir and all necessary control options, including a mini wheel to adjust temperature. And then there’s the design and choice of equipment which valuethe meaning of “craftsmanship” and allow you to taste a deign coffee as that Heavy D & the Boys would preach in Black Coffee (1994):
Black coffee, no sugar, no cream, that’s the kind of girl I needed down with my team.
Linea Mini is worth 4ooo euro, it does’t prepare any average coffee.”
