Daily driver…

The Linea mini is not a machine which I rate particularly highly out of the box. There are plenty of far better options which offer superior performance and functionality at similar prices- but that’s what LM do. Maximum dollar for minimum specification.

This particular machine started life as a write-off when one of our lovely Aussie delivery companies seemingly kicked it out of the truck and then attempted to deliver it inverted on said skid to its new owner- who rightly rejected the delivery. It was absolutely ruined.

The keen eye of my great friend Rick @coffeemachinist saw a potential rebirth and a with a truck-load of replacement parts and a year of planning and hundreds of hours of work, it reemerged from the cocoon to become a unicorn. It’s the most expensive machine I have ever owned: One of those “If you have to ask” price tags.

Lever operated steam and hot-water valves (They said it couldn’t be done!) and a variable speed gear pump created a drive-by-wire, pressure profiling unicorn which in my opinion may never be bettered.

Rick’s incredible talent is every where you look- from intricate hand-made custom gauges to beautiful, tactile touch points and a carefully considered, stunning colour palette.

I sold another unicorn (a unique GS3 EMP which will never be repeated) from the hand of Rick to have this daily driver which brings great pleasure every time I touch it. At home, it’s paired with a Mahlkönig E65S GBW on grind duty and I couldn’t be happier.

Thank you Rick. 🙏

Just a handful of the amazing @rocketespresso R Cincquantotto Serie Grigia made it to Australia and there were only 200 produced worldwide. They’re a rare, rare thing.

We have one remaining from our tiny allocation of two and it’s destined for your home. Make it yours!

We’ll also sharpen the pencil for you when packaged with a grinder.

Small footprint, but huge sound steps thanks to our buddy @coffeemachinist who has loaded us up with a shed full of calibrated Lucie Audio.

Sounds pretty bloody amazing at work now! 🤩

Thanks so much mate! 🙏

Our friend Antonio Nurri @nurri.coffee has just released some profiles of the forthcoming R-Type which will continue the L-Type theme.
Initially it will vibe pump, HX and actively heated ring group.

Perhaps as models evolve, we'll get gear pump and pressure profiling too?
Interesting times!
