The OR recommendation for the steam wand
We recommend buying the Pro Touch version. The Pro Touch is much higher performing than the Cool Couch. It is absolutely worth the small extra investment. Moreover, the delivery time of the Cool Touch is much longer because the demand for the Pro Touch is much higher. This supports our recommendation.

Product description
The new La Marzocco Linea Mini R + Cool Touch in the color Stainless is an updated version of the Linea Mini and has some amazing new features. This latest iteration of the Linea Mini series combines precision performance with intuitive touch controls, elevating the home espresso experience to new heights. With its sleek aesthetics, advanced features, and uncompromising quality, the Linea Mini R + Cool Touch redefines what's possible in home espresso brewing and we love to tell you all about it.
Size and design
Compared to its predecessor, the Linea Mini R + Cool Touch has the same compact size, making it a perfect fit for home use. This addresses the space constraints often faced by home baristas while preserving the iconic stainless steel aesthetic that La Marzocco is renowned for. The design of the Linea Mini R + Cool Touch machine has a new slide edge called the Della Pietra curve which was inspired by the Linea Classic S named after La Marzocco's head designer Stefano Della Pietra. This beautiful machine fits seamlessly into home kitchens and is illuminated by barista lights. This makes it that the work area is well-lit for precision during the brewing process.
Brew paddle
The brew paddle on this machine isn't only aesthetically pleasing, it is also functional of course. It controls the initiation and stopping of the brewing process. The brew paddle has 2 key characteristics. The first one is variable flow control, or in other words you can manually adjust the pressure applied to the coffee puck during extraction. The second one is that it facilitates a pre-infusion stage. This means that water will be gently introduced to the coffee grounds before full pressure is applied. This helps saturate the coffee evenly and enhances the extraction process, contributing to a more nuanced flavor profile.
Dual boiler system
The Linea Mini R + Cool Touch features a dual boiler system, ensuring optimal temperature stability for both brewing and steaming. This technological advancement allows users to pull shots and steam milk simultaneously and thus providing a more efficient and enjoyable brewing experience achieving barista-quality result, and sets it apart from its predecessors.
Integrated brew group
An integrated brew group lies at the heart of the Linea Mini, ensuring thermal stability and consistency in espresso extraction. This feature, derived from La Marzocco's commercial machines, enhances the machine's ability to deliver superb shots, showcasing the brand's firm commitment to quality.
PID controller
Experience precise temperature control in your La Marzocco Mini espresso machine with the innovative PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller. This advanced technology ensures optimal brewing conditions, allowing you to fine-tune and maintain the perfect temperature for extracting the most exquisite flavors from your coffee grounds.
Cool Touch Steam wand
The Cool Touch steam wand on the Linea Mini R is an older veriosn that doesn't work as well as the new Pro Touch steam wand and will scald your hands when you touch it during or after steaming. That is why we highly recommend to have a look at the Linea Mini R Pro Touch. This wand is cool to the touch and the polymer spout helps for not having milk stick to it after steaming your milk. The Pro Touch is performing a lot better and it is worth the small extra investment.
Brew-by-weight compatibility
The Linea Mini seamlessly integrates with La Marzocco's brew-by-weight scales, enabling even more precise coffee brewing.
Advanced pre-infusion system
Experience a brand-new pre-infusion system featuring dual valves for gentle saturation and a self-cleaning flow restrictor, ensuring optimal performance.
La Marzocco Home app integration
An additional feature setting the Linea Mini R + Cool Touch is its integration with the La Marzocco Home app. This connectivity offers users the convenience of controlling and customizing their espresso machine remotely via a smartphone. It simplifies the adjustment of machine parameters like temperature, steam wand pressure and pre-brewing for a more intuitive experience. The app offers the convenience of scheduling weekly On/Off times, ensuring your Linea Mini is always hot and ready without unnecessary energy consumption. The real-time feedback provided by the app's control panel enhances your brewing precision.
