Linea Mini | 1 Group

List Price: $5,900

The Linea Mini is part of La Marzocco’s home espresso product line, but has quickly become the go-to machine for smaller cafes, carts, and trucks due to its commercial-grade features. Whether you’re a home barista looking for cafe-quality shots at home or a coffee company in search of a reliable machine for events and pop-ups, cart systems, or low-volume shops or spaces where coffee is secondary (such as restaurants and bars), the Linea Mini is a solid choice.

Performs Best For

Coffee companies in search of a dependable and portable single-group machine. Well-suited for pop-up cafes, restaurants, events catering, or other low-volume settings. Also ideal for home baristas ready to upgrade their equipment.

Fresh Cup uses a scoring rubric to rate espresso machines on a variety of metrics. See our scoring rubric:

Program Sophistication Gauges how deep and precise a café’s espresso program can be on the machine, and how much barista training it demands. Level 1 covers capsule or batch-brew stations, while Level 5 delivers full pressure/flow profiling, integrated scales, data logging and IoT connectivity for competition-grade menus. Volume Capability Reflects the peak drinks-per-hour the machine can maintain without recovery issues. Scores run from under 30 drinks (Level 1, boutique bar) to 120+ drinks per hour (Level 5, drive-thru chains or stadium kiosks). Automation Support Measures how many routine tasks the machine handles on its own—dosing, flushing, milk steaming and self-cleaning. It spans fully manual levers (Level 1) up to bean-to-cup super-automatic sequences (Level 5). Extraction Control Rates the operator’s control over brewing variables. Entry levels lock in temperature and pump pressure; mid-levels add independent PIDs and programmable pre-infusion; Level 5 delivers full pressure/flow profiles with live data logging. Workflow & Ergonomics Assesses how the machine’s physical design speeds service and reduces fatigue. Higher scores denote low-profile bodies, cool-touch or auto-purge steam wands, intuitive UIs and other features that minimise repetitive strain. Tech & Connectivity Looks at the depth of digital features—from simple PID displays and shot timers (Level 2) up to Wi-Fi dashboards, cloud telemetry, open APIs and fleet-management suites (Level 5). Design Customization Captures how extensively the machine’s appearance and UI can be tailored. Level 1 models ship in a single finish; mid-range offers swappable colour panels or logo plates; Level 5 machines feature fully modular skins and deep UI-branding options.

Noteable Features

Dual-Boiler System

When using a single-group espresso machine in a commercial setting, you can’t waste time waiting for the boiler to warm up in between shots or steaming milk. The Linea Mini has a dual-boiler system, allowing baristas to pull espresso shots and steam milk simultaneously. Additionally, the small brew boiler size ensures that the machine is ready for the next shot within seconds—giving baristas the ability to brew back-to-back shots.

Your Choice of Water Source

The Linea Mini comes with either a 2.5-liter built-in water reservoir or can be plumbed into a water line. The versatility of water systems ensures functionality no matter where the machine is located.

Powerful Steam Pressure

In comparison to other machines of this size, the Linea Mini boasts a large, 3-liter steam boiler. This capacity ensures baristas can perfectly texture milk drinks for an optimized workflow.

Compact Design

The Linea Mini features a compact design and commercial-quality materials for a durable yet highly portable brewing experience. It’s no wonder why this machine has become a top pick among the mobile coffee business crowd.
