I follow LM on Instagram and just noticed this promotion. While stocks last..

I purchased this machine 2 years ago and I use it every day. Yes it is very very expensive and no I do not use Aldi beans with my machine.

Also comes with a 12 month subscription to Single O (12 X 1KG bags I believe) which would work out to around $700 depending on which beans they let you pick.

Edit: Looks like the bundle is also on sale. The mazzer electric grinder usually goes for around $1200

      Ona - Raspberry Candy is my absolutely favorite, anything they roast is generally very good. I also really like Little Marionette!

        I've got an Ona cafe near work that I go to on the regular. Raspberry Candy isn't my usual go to, but I like their Maple quite a bit and will have a Raspberry Candy every now and then. Guess I'll have to try Little Marionette! If you're a fan of Raspberry candy check out African Mailman by Zest

          Stored in the freezer in vacuum sealed bags in portions.

          • MrBillions on 14/08/2023 - 20:44

            @zsuetam: Do you cut a 1kg bad into 20g portions or what do you do?
            Currently sitting on 2.5kg coffee that is one week old and will probably take me 3 no this to get through by myself…

            • Discoaus on 15/08/2023 - 08:12

              @MrBillions: I’d suggest vaccum sealing some of this coffee to keep it fresh. I use 500g in about 2-3 weeks. Anymore I just see as a waste and loses its freshness

            • zsuetam on 15/08/2023 - 13:25

              @MrBillions: I divide into 500g bags. Defrost when necessary. Each will last me 1-2 weeks.

        • mskeggs on 14/08/2023 - 19:37

          Stored coffee beans become stale coffee beans pretty swiftly - I drink a kilo a month and can certainly taste the difference when I open a fresh bag.
          So I suggest you enjoy your fancy beans over the next month, and when you want so for a special occasion, buy a fresh 250g pack.

          • antik on 14/08/2023 - 23:05

            @mskeggs: Do they even become stale in an airtight jar container or vacuum sealed bags? How would that differ from a sealed coffee bag?

            • maverickjohn on 15/08/2023 - 06:31
              +1

              @antik: I have an airtight jar and it certainly delays the staleness but still better to freeze the ones you won't use.

            • Discoaus on 15/08/2023 - 08:14
              +1

              @antik: A sealed coffee bag or container still contains oxygen surrounding the beans. This will interfere with the beans freshness. Hence vaccum sealing the bags to remove the oxygen content and prevent moisture also.

        • johnnytran on 14/08/2023 - 23:07

          FYI I found Raspberry Candy tasted best 3-4 weeks after roast

          • resisting the urge on 15/08/2023 - 11:12

            @johnnytran: Assuming we are buying beans, pretty much any roast needs to sit for 2 weeks before use. Sweet spot may be at 4 weeks, 6 weeks likely is getting stale- assuming airtight storage <20C and a couple of openings to replenish your hopper.

            An all this is from roast, not purchase date, therein lies the problem for most people

        • MisterTee on 15/08/2023 - 15:31

          Maybe I'm more pedantic… but I wouldn't want to be using beans that have been opened for more than a week. I think you definitely notice the difference in taste. So buy small enough bags that it doesn't have to be opened any longer than that.

          In terms of time since roast, I wouldn't want to be using them much more than 3 weeks past roast. If you're a cafe and are using the entire bag in a day, then you can be a little more precise on exact days (so eg day 10, or 14). But when you're using a bag over a week, you need to give yourself a window.

          Personally, I use about 250g a week. So I buy 2x250g every fortnight as part of a subscription (there is a 2 bag minimum for the subscription, but if there wasn't I'd get a bag a week). I open the first bag about 7 days after roast and use that until about 14 days, and then the second bag gets used from 14-21 days. Then I move on to the next delivery.

        When mentioning little marionette I have to refer to their Sanchez blend for the preferred bean.
        A good everyday cheap bean is Ruby Tuesday from Crema coffee garage.

          It's not a decent coffee though. and definitely overpriced.
          if you like vittoria coffee, you are better off going to a local cafe and asking to buy a bag of their beans. it would be fresher than the stuff you get in woolies which is horrible at the best of times.

          • quarkgun on 15/08/2023 - 10:16

            @maverickjohn: Sure, everyone has their own opinion - i say it's decent you say it's not. Welcome to the internet :D

            • maverickjohn on 15/08/2023 - 10:24

              @quarkgun: Completely agree with you on the opinion aspect, but as a general rule for coffee beans try to buy fresh when possible. Stale beans don't tend to compare well in general to fresh roasted beans

              • quarkgun on 15/08/2023 - 10:36

                @maverickjohn: Yeah agree totally, not sure how fresh beans from woolies are though, I always assumed that the high volume would lean towards fresher beans being available, but who knows :)

          how long do beans stay good for? i bought a kg from veneziano and i'm storing them in an airtight container, but i open the container up to twice a day to scoop out 18gms of beans.. i'm wondering if i should opt for 250gm bags instead

          • Intoxicoligist on 14/08/2023 - 20:15

            @tommynolips: Air tight container should help a fair bit. Ideally you want to use them between 14 to ~30 days after they have been roasted, but that is for ideal coffee. Basically, if it still tastes alright, you're fine. If you wanted to make the most you could freeze 500g when you get them and pull them out once the first 500g is done? A 250g bag lasts me about a week most of the time, sometimes less

              +1

              @Intoxicoligist: Thanks :) a 250gm bag generally lasts me 7-10 days as well. I started buying the 1kg bags to save some money, plus I got a fancy airtight "airscape" container so hopefully i'm not losing too much freshness by not opting for the 250gm backs.

      You're not all roasting your own? I buy my green beans for $14-16.50/kg for most, and occassionally $80/kg for a geisha, then roast on a home built roaster with a heat gun.

      Is it the same as roasting on a commercial drum roaster? No. Is it still better than I'll get at 95% of cafes, definitely.

        Looked into the plumb in kit, probably will just use the reservoir with filtered water. Looks like you need to install an in-line water filter with the plumb in kit to maintain warranty…

        Would love some grinder recommendations if anyone has any…

        Also… I’ve noticed a lot of people mock the price, or point out that the payback on such an expensive machine is borderline impossible. I’m buying because I’m passionate about coffee, and enjoy this as a hobby. It’s a bit sad that we feel we have to justify ourselves to others, but for what it’s worth, this is my only vice. Leave me be please :p

          I ended up changing my order from a Linea Mini to a Linea Micra

          This review convinced me - https://youtu.be/lUEsGwh1GC8

          Issues:

          • Easier machine to work with for a tech
          • Solenoid and all the other stuff in the front and more easily accessible
          • Much faster heat up time at 5-10min vs 15-25min
          • Is likely able to keep up with my family and friends coming over on weekends for a coffee catch-up - usually make 4- 8 cups of coffee on weekends if that occurs
          • Fits my bench more easily than the linea mini
          • annoying that you have to use the app to change temperature but whatevs
          • The price differential is nice but not an issue.
          • bottomless portafilter on the Micra with some snap on plastic spouts for singles and double pours. My wife and I drink most of our coffees as doubles anyway.
          • smaller steam wand on the Micra can be potentially annoying? I will find out in October.

          I'm now thinking of upgrading my two stage water filtration system to a reverse osmosis system for the Micra.

          The last place where I had reverse osmosis water was Light Coffee when they had a space in East Brisbane. The water was amazing there and their espresso and filter coffees were some of the best I've ever had from a Brisbane roaster.

          The LM chat said that all the Micras are expected sometime in October. I was tempted to buy the red but ended up getting the stainless.

          I have a mazzer super jolly at home. I was thinking of upgrading it but there is no real point ATM.

          I have the Breville dual boiler too. The steam wand has given up the ghost and I can't tell if it's the ball valve assembly and also some circuitry issue. It's a good machine and I can just get a new one. But I don't like throwing away gadgets and like things that last.

          I'm keen on the linea micra now. I tried to dissuade the wife from this purchase but she has also gotten target fixation and she wants the linea too.

          We have both worked in the coffee industry previously and most of our time as baristas was spent behind either a linea, gb5 or synesso. So the linea micra is going to bring back some of those old-school feels.

            @ankor: Hey mate, they’re all good points and I did consider the micra… but I just like the bigger machine. No real rationale behind it (well, lots of reasons, just all little trivial ones - similar to yours!)…but mostly I just like it :p I’ve got the bench space and despite saying I won’t plumb it in, I know I will eventually.

            Congrats on your purchase!

              @jackary: Thanks!

              Yeah I measured up the space where I have the Breville dual boiler and decided to be sensible with the Micra.

              Here's a review of the LM Mini from one of the third wave US coffee gurus from back in 2015 - https://www.home-barista.com/blog/la-marzocco-linea-mini-rev…

              I almost pulled the trigger on the mini, damn the space issues lol

              I hope you get to enjoy an upgrade as well!
