This is not a deal for everyone and I may be negged into the penalty box for even sharing it.

But for those who want an LM machine - this is an insane offer, the best I’ve ever seen on an LM.

I’ve got the micra myself and would say witho it a doubt there is no benefit that the mini would have over it for the home user. It’s an amazing machine - having come from a rocket Mozzafiato Tipo V and an ECM Elektronika and also a breville barista express.

No it’s not for everyone - and no it’s not cheap. But if you wanted this as an endgame machine for no other reason other than you want an LM, then this is the deal for you.

FYI: Also comes with an accessories kit which is a nice touch - I believe it's the $379 one on the website.

    Think I found the perfect grinder to compliment the LMLM:

    is the small space between the drip tray and portafilter spout an issue?

    • Jaystea on 01/06/2023 - 23:24

      Depends on what cup you use and whether you use a scale.

      For reference I don’t use a scale and I can fit a 340ml keep cup under it. I also don’t split my shots with the plastic filter - opting to go with the naked portafilter only.

      • MrBillions on 02/06/2023 - 17:49

        How can you run your recipe without a scale?

        • Jaystea on 02/06/2023 - 18:00

          I'm not really a prescriptivist when it comes to brewing an espresso and making a latte. I have the same cup I use every time - and I keep the shot clock to approximately 22-32 seconds. It's volumetric from my end. In terms of how much beans to put in, I fill my portafilter with the beans before doing single dose grinding. No it's not to the exact gram - however, I get fairly consistent drinks throughout. Purists would scoff at the way I make it, but the regular BDB would also baulk. I guess I'm somewhere in between.

    fyi this doesn't have a shot timer

    • browser on 01/06/2023 - 23:22

      It's probably worthy to pair with an Acaia Lunar.

      I have the Timemore Nano, looks good but not working very well.

      • johnnytran on 01/06/2023 - 23:57

        Don't say that, I just bought a nano. Is yours faulty or does the scale have issues in general?

        • browser on 02/06/2023 - 01:42

          Scale is working fine and accurate, I have checked using calibration weights.

          It's just a little awkward to use.

          • Having the buttons on the sides, you tend to push the scale away whenever you try to press a button.
          • It has 3 modes, 3 taps to change mode require a bit of finesse, and you have to cycle through each mode. A 3 position slider would have been much easier.
          • Took me awhile to figure out that the pour over mode is actually the espresso mode - if you weight your grounds.

          The 3 modes are:

          • Regular - manual tare, manual start timer
          • Pour over - manual tare, press timer to initiate auto tare and auto timer
          • Espresso - auto tare, auto timer

          If you don't weight the grounds, go ahead to use espresso mode.

          • johnnytran on 02/06/2023 - 07:32

            @browser: Cheers, sounds like I’d need to use the pour over mode as well. So basically weigh beans, place cup on scale and press auto tare, timer and weight will begin once espresso hits the cup?

            • browser on 02/06/2023 - 10:59
              +1

              @johnnytran: Yes, in pour over mode, you do the manual tare/weigh until you are happy with the amount of ground in the dosing cup (or portafilter).

              When you are ready to start brewing, press the timer button, it will countdown 3…2…1. Basically you have 3 seconds to put a cup on the scale (our you can put the cup on the scale first, then press the timer button).

              The timer will start automatically once the weight changes, i.e. coffee has hit the cup.

              Now, the slight annoyance is that when you have stopped brewing, i.e. weight stops changing, the timer keeps going until you press the timer button to stop it manually.

              Only in espresso mode, the timer starts and stops automatically. But as mention before, it also tares automatically, losing track of how much ground you already have, makes it hard if you want to top up just a little bit.

              Another option is to constantly switch between regular and espresso mode, but the 3-tap finesse and having to cycle through the 3 different modes make the experience frustrating.

              All in all the Nano is a quality and accurate scale, I really like the form factor and its display, but it has usability issues. I was hoping Timemore can address it through firmware updates, or provide different firmware versions to address different use cases. So far nothing.

      • MrBillions on 02/06/2023 - 09:48

        Lunar may not fit because of the short distance between drip and portafilter…that bit's a worry.

        • browser on 02/06/2023 - 11:26

          I was wondering about that while watching one of the reviews. Apparently the clearance between the portafilter and drip tray is 75mm with spout attachment, 90mm without. Lunar is around 15mm in height, so that leaves 70mm for the cup.

          One solution is to use a shot glass like this: https://rhinocoffeegear.com/rhino-coffee-gear-shot-glass-dou…

          I use that when making long blacks, as I like to pour espresso into hot water, rather than hot water into expresso. Also good to drink from the shot glass for a quick coffee hit. But I wouldn't want to transfer into a larger cup all the time for milk based drinks.

    • Jaystea on 02/06/2023 - 09:35

      Unfortunately no shot timer on the machine which is a bit of a pain. However, it does have a shot timer in the app where it tracks your shot details - not that I use it myself. I too, miss the shot timer present on my previous mozzafiato.

      Cause it’s a relative bargain for the item. This is the equivalent if Rolex had discounts.

      Once you go for a nice machine (dual boiler) it’s night and day compared to any cheaper model (heat block/exchange/sb)

      It’s like going from wagyu steak to minute steak. Both can be yum, and both can be shit if cooked incorrectly, the wagyu has a very accomodating cooking window until it’s shit whereas minute steak has a 5 second window from turning from perfect to throw away.

    • Jaystea on 02/06/2023 - 10:02

      I'd just get a jura if you really wanted something like that. It'd be about a tenth or fifth of the cost of the coles one.

      • sirix on 02/06/2023 - 10:33

        The Jura's make good coffee considering it's fully automatic, where things go wrong is their milk system, Started out ok, then got seriously annoying, doing essentially a full cleaning every day (even if you make 1 coffee) is unsustainable (else risk blockages, not frothing properly etc), not to mention with the required cleaning tablets/chemicals works out pretty expensive - and lets be honest, the milk is fine for a cappuccino, but falls short for a latte.

        Having had the E8, if you just want espresso and don't care about milk-based drinks, then it'll make a decent enough espresso, if you want milk based drinks look elsewhere, for me that was the one and only Oracle, haven't looked back going on almost 2yrs now, this Linea Micra is very very tempting now that i've got a better understanding of the manual process.

          It's not discounted.

    About 10 years ago, a relo spent 6G on a machine, I thought he was crazy. Today's 6G is worth less, but still can't believe I'm actually thinking about it.

      Is your relos machine still working and doing good shots?
