a step-by-step guide
La Marzocco has been manufacturing espresso machines since 1927 in Florence, Italy. The Bambi brothers’ dream of enriching the lives of others with these beautiful machines continues to this day. Born from a classic, the Linea Mini is compact but doesn’t sacrifice performance. Being La Marzocco’s most versatile machine, it’s designed for both home and commercial settings.
ordering & receiving your la marzocco
All La Marzocco machines are handmade at our factory in Italy, and each unit is put through a quality assurance process before shipping out. Since these are hand built, the timelines for machines fluctuate. We can check the shipping information tab on the order page to see the current estimated lead times. After placing an order, customers will receive an email confirming their purchase, then an email with the tracking and shipping information when the machine ships. The Linea Mini will be intentionally packaged and secured with plastic bands holding the small pallet and box all together.

Step 1
Connect the power cord.
Step 2
Fill the machine with water. Remember to use water that meets La Marzocco specifications. Check the manual for more details.

The blue light will blink when the reservoir needs water, and the red light will blink when the coffee boiler is heating up. Wait about 10 minutes to allow the Linea Mini to be ready to brew espresso and 20 minutes for full steam capacity.
