La Marzocco Linea Mini R

Dual boilers + PID temp control

Separate brew and steam boilers, so you can pull shots and steam milk simultaneously with excellent thermal stability.
That’s one of the big reasons it feels genuinely café-grade.

New 2-valve pre-infusion system

This is one of the biggest upgrades vs the older Linea Mini.

It gives:

• softer puck saturation
• better consistency
• more forgiving extractions
• programmable pre-infusion phases (especially if plumbed in)

Easy pump pressure adjustment

You can adjust extraction pressure without opening the machine up and doing internal tweaks.

Useful if you want to experiment with:

• classic 9-bar espresso
• lower-pressure turbo style shots
• different roast profiles

Built-in shot timer

Integrated into the machine interface, so you’re not relying on external scales/timers.
Simple but genuinely useful for repeatability.

Brew-by-Weight compatibility

Pairs with La Marzocco’s/Acaia’s connected scales for automatic stop-by-weight.

That means:

• target your exact output dose
• automatic shot stopping
• very repeatable espresso workflow

Semi-automatic paddle

This is the Mini R’s signature workflow control.

It’s inspired by LM’s commercial paddle machines:

• manual shot initiation
• tactile control
• interacts with electronic pre-infusion logic

It feels way more engaging than just pressing a button.

Cool-touch steam wand

Insulated wand with a PEEK polymer tip.

Benefits:

• safer to handle
• easier milk steaming
• less accidental burns
• still very strong steam power

La Marzocco Home app

Control from your phone:

• machine scheduling
• standby timing
• steam level
• temperature settings
• cleaning cycles
• diagnostics / firmware updates

Auto backflush + rinse mode

Huge convenience feature for maintenance.

Makes daily cleaning way easier than older prosumer machines.

Plumb-in capable + hybrid mode

You can run it:

• reservoir mode (2.5L tank)
• direct plumbed

Plumbed mode unlocks extended pre-infusion options.

Commercial hardware

It borrows heavily from LM commercial machines:

• saturated group design DNA
• commercial-style group cap
• powerful 3L steam boiler
• barista lights
• extremely solid thermal performance
