  1. La Marzocco
    Also, like someone said, you could always buy from them directly. I don't think they sold direct when I bought mine. My contact with their London office has always been great. They've invited me down a couple of times and I actually went to their office to try it out before I purchased from...
  2. La Marzocco
    I bought my LMLM from North Star Coffee. Great experience. Not sure if they routinely do this, but I asked if they could deliver, install and show me the ropes, which they did. This was about 2.5 years ago. I have had warranty issues and these have been dealt with by LMLM Uk directly. Their...

    Hi. I am a Linea Mini owner. As lake_m said, 93 degrees is a good starting point. Perhaps 1 or 2 degrees more for a lighter roast and up to 3 degrees less for a darker roast. Ultimately it's what you like the taste of. There are a few Youtube videos of Linea Mini Milk steaming. Look up...
  4. La Marzocco
    Hi everyone. Just wanted to say thanks for all your suggestions. The carpenter had some waste pipe on him and filed the edges so as not to damage the handle. It's about 40cm long and I just slip it on. So far, so good. It's much easier to engage and remove and at times I also lean my body weight...
  5. La Marzocco
    I had another thought and wonder if you are aware of anything that might be damaged long-term by using this technique - I could put the handle in and then firmly but carefully hit the handle with the heel/palm of my hand to effectively hammer the handle into place. Same thing to remove it...
  6. La Marzocco
    Thanks. Yes I've tried that too. I've probably tried every way of engaging/removing the handle but all of them affect my shoulder, if not straight away, then a day or two later. I'm going to try the suggestions put forth by others if either using a waste pipe or get a carpenter to make something...
  7. La Marzocco
    Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I'll give those options a try. ?
  8. La Marzocco
    Haha. I've had my eye on that one. The day that comes in a Home-style one-group machine, I'm ordering it!! That would be amazing!
  9. La Marzocco
    Thanks. That's a good shout and worth a try. Maybe even something to slip onto the handle to use just for inserting into the group head.
  10. La Marzocco
    Thanks for the suggestion. Tried that already and the LM orange silicone one. They were both more difficult for me to create a seal vs the original rubber. Yes I tried the other arm ??. Unfortunately, that's not much better and I don't want to make it worse.
  11. La Marzocco
    Thanks. Yes I tried the blue cafelat one. It's definitely a different feel. It was harder for me to create a seal with this vs the original rubber one.
  12. La Marzocco
    Hi. Thanks. Tried that already. Tried both the La Marzocco orange silicone gasket and the Cafelat Blue one. Both were considerably worse than the original rubber one installed. The original is 7mm whereas the silicone ones are 8mm, so the handle stays even further from 6 Alcock but more...

    Hi. Long time reader but this is my first post. I have a LMLM. Amazing espresso machine and I've had so much fun using it. It's my first espresso machine but I'm the kind of person who does a ton of research and is a perfectionist. So I've probably watched most of the videos on YouTube to do...
