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.
