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 the error 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 a machine with high cost performance and one-step operation within a budget of 10,000 to 30,000, so today I will take this opportunity to share it with everyone.
The main text begins!
Easier to make Espresso than imagined, super high error rate!
I don’t know if everyone at home, when making Espresso, every time you buy new beans, does it take a long time to adjust to find the suitable grind size, even if your WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) is done well, you still have to try several times to find the suitable grind size to make delicious Espresso or milk coffee.
And this machine, I used six or seven different types of Espresso beans before and after, of course, after doing WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique, details can refer to my previous article), each time it only took one to three adjustments to quickly find the suitable grind size and make the ideal coffee.
When using Lelit Mara X, I needed to try many times to find the suitable grind size. Of course, I conducted tests, but the fact is, using Linea Micra, every time I prepare new beans, the preparation work is greatly reduced because in most cases, the coffee after grinding can be directly consumed. 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 cost-effective
Why use this title? Just as I said above, because the error rate is improved, so in fact, the cost of coffee beans is saved. There is no problem for home use for several years, so in the long run, it is actually cost-effective. Yes, the reason is simple and straightforward.
La Marzocco Linea Micra simple operation and easy cleaning
Faster heating/warming time (Espresso machine)
This point refers to its faster operation and heating speed, and more user-friendly. Although the operation of both machines is still acceptable, the heating time is obviously more than doubled. Previously, I needed 5-15 minutes to preheat the machine, but with this machine, I turn it on before I start measuring the coffee beans, and by the time I finish WDT, it is almost preheated. If you have higher time requirements, you can consider this point. But I think, in the morning, if you want high cost performance, choose Lelit; if you want one-step operation, choose it.
More water-saving, easier cleaning
Another point is the cleaning aspect, I prefer Linea Micra. First of all, every time I use Lelit Mara X, there is a lot of water in the waste water tank, but this machine has much less waste water, almost several times less, which is really not exaggerated.
Moreover, it can connect the waste water tank to the drain pipe to let the waste water 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. However, still the same sentence, although it is twice as expensive, is this experience worth it? I think it is worth it. The key point is, the high appearance value. If you like the 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.
