Yes! Both the Linea Mini and GS3 are capable to be plumbed-in. We do recommend using the built in water reservoir for mobile settings.

The GS3-AV comes with a plumb-in kit while the Linea Mini requires the additional purchasing of the plumb-in kit.

The Linea Mini requires 110v with a 15amp circuit while the GS3-AV is 110v requring a dedicated 20amp circuit.

So long as you’re producing one drink at a time you will have no interruptions in performance. If batch steaming larger pitchers you may find that the steam boiler dips in pressure.

The Linea Mini is is ready to brew in 15 minutes and ready to steam in 20. The GS3 takes 30 minutes to heat up the brew boiler and 45 minutes for steam.

We recommend fully draining your machine after each event if being stored in freezing conditions or transporting. If you intend to store your machine for prolonged periods of time without use we recommend fully draining as well.

The water you put into your espresso machine is incredibly important, and goes far beyond brewing good coffee. Putting good, clean water into your espresso machine will extend the life of your machine, and can help your machine continue to run well for years to come.

We put together a Blog Post that serves as a simple introduction to the world of water—how it affects your coffee, why it matters for your machine, and what you should do about it.

In fact, most of the problems people experience with their machines stem from the fact they are using water that is outside of the specification given by La Marzocco for proper operation. Each of our machines ship with a water test kit so that you can make sure the water you are using is within spec. View our Water Specifications and enter the results of your test in our Water Calculator.

Purchasing your machine directly from La Marzocco Home means one-on-one phone support Monday through Friday from 9 am – 5 pm PST. If we can’t solve your problem over the phone, we have a list of Preferred Service Providers that we trust to work on La Marzocco Espresso Machines that we will send out to fix your machine. If you are in an area where there are no service providers, we will give you instructions on how to ship your machine to us for repair, or help you repair the machine yourself depending upon your needs.

Using proper water is paramount to keeping your machine running properly—be sure you’re using water within our specifications!

Beyond that, maintaining your La Marzocco Espresso Machine is simple. We recommend a cleaning routine at least once a week.

Settling into a regular cleaning schedule can help keep your machine clean and will go a long way in keeping it running smoothly throughout its lifespan. We like to backflush the machine with detergent and a blind portafilter, clean the portafilter, screens, and baskets all at the same time. This will help keep your espresso tasting crisp and clean, and won’t get in the way of great tasting coffee.
