Linea Micra Crème arrived!

Arrived today! Ordered form LM Home UK. Sharing some pics for those still waiting on theirs.

Absolutely love the back, so sad there’s not a spot in my kitchen where it won’t be against a wall!

Edit: any recommendations for accessories/tips for a new LM owner very appreciated. I think I’ll get a more ergonomic tamper and maybe one of the puck screens with the cutout.

Upgrade from Lelit Mara X V2 to La Marzocco Linea Micra [£3500]

Need some advice, hopefully a few here who have owned both machines!

I bought the Lelit Mara a year and a half ago, but I’m starting to get the itch to upgrade to my endgame machine (LM Linea Micra).

The Lelit is a great machine and a massive step up from my old sage that I had before, but after demoing the La marzocco I’m tempted to upgrade for a few reasons:

  1. ⁠I’ll probably end up buying the LM at some point
  2. ⁠I am very short and can’t actually see how much water is in the Lelit without having to pull the tank out each time, which causes the machine to have to heat up again for a few minutes after reinserting it
  3. ⁠I’d prefer a dual boiler, I often struggle with pressure on the steam wand with back to back shots
  4. ⁠Faster heat up on the LM, I have a smart plug but the functionality of that is limited. Although I’m usually against everything being in an app, the LM app looked good.

The only thing that is putting me off is that the LM only comes with a year warranty, that was surpassing given the focus on quality and the price tag!

Has anyone had experience with both machines and can tell me if it’s worth the upgrade?

Any help would be much appreciated!
