In the short experience of a few weeks, I found that the biggest difference between it and the Lelit Mara X I currently use is in the error tolerance rate and the user experience during operation.
Although comparing two machines with nearly double the price difference seems a bit unfair, this is purely my personal sharing. Many customers ask us how to choose if they want to find a high cost-performance machine within a budget of 10,000 to 30,000, so today I take this opportunity to share with everyone.
The main text begins!
Easier to make Espresso than imagined, with super high error tolerance!
When making Espresso at home, every time you buy new beans, do you need to adjust for a long time to find the suitable grind size? Even if your WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) is done well, you still need to try several times to find the suitable grind size to make a good Espresso or milk coffee.
With this machine, I used six or seven different types of Espresso beans. Of course, I did WDT (details can be referred to in my previous articles), and each time it only took one to three adjustments to quickly find the suitable grind size to make the ideal coffee.
When using the Lelit Mara X, I needed to try many times to find the suitable grind size. Of course, I have done testing, but the fact is, when using the Linea Micra, the preparation work is greatly reduced because, in most cases, the coffee can be consumed directly after grinding. So, I think this point is very worth mentioning because sometimes when you buy expensive beans, you don’t want to waste them.
Although the entry threshold is slightly high, it is actually the most economical
Why use this title? Just as I said above, because the error tolerance rate is improved, the actual cost of coffee beans is saved. There is no problem for household use for several years, so in the long run, it is actually economical. Yes, the reason is simple and straightforward.
La Marzocco Linea Micra is easy to operate and clean
Faster heating time (Espresso machine)
This point refers to its faster operation and heating speed, and it is more user-friendly. Although the operation of both machines is still okay, the heating time is obviously more than doubled. Previously, I needed 5-15 minutes to preheat the machine, but this machine turns on before I start measuring the coffee beans, and by the time I finish WDT, it is almost preheated. Friends who have higher time requirements can consider this point. However, I think, if you get up in the morning and want high cost-performance, choose Lelit, and if you want it all in one step, choose it.
More water-saving and easier to clean
Another point is the cleaning aspect, I prefer Linea Micra. First, every time after using Lelit Mara X, there is a lot of water in the waste water tray, but this machine has much less waste water, almost several times less, which is really not exaggerated.
Moreover, it can connect the waste water tray to the drain, allowing waste water to flow away, so sometimes you can see merchants using it in popup events. But of course, if the economic capacity allows, choosing a real commercial machine would be better.
Detailed sharing will be updated later. But still, that sentence, although it is twice as expensive, is this experience worth it? I think it is worth it. The key point is that it has a high aesthetic value. If you like Apple style, I think you will like it; but if you like Cyberpunk style, Lelit should suit your taste. But both machines are good machines.
