Compatibility Note for Linea Mini Owners—

Brew-by-Weight is a La Marzocco product designed and managed specifically for use alongside the Linea Mini. Renowned scale-maker Acaia provided the technical support for integration at the design stage as well as the scale technology. Please note that Acaia’s existing products like the Lunar and Lunar 2021, which have their own firmware, the Brew-By-Weight Scale uses specific La Marzocco-developed firmware. This means that the pathways are different, and standard Acaia scales are not compatible with the Linea Mini.

In preparation for Brew-by-Weight functionality, Linea Mini owners must update their machine’s firmware via the La Marzocco Home App to the latest firmware available as of October 12th. Additional compatibility checks are necessary. To simplify the process, you can check your Linea Mini’s compatibility with Brew-by-Weight by inputting your serial number using our Brew-by-Weight Check tool.

Here’s what you need to know:

For Linea Mini Owners with Updated Firmware:

If your machine is already connected and updated to the latest firmware version (v1.0rc7 or greater), your Linea Mini is fully compatible with Brew-by-Weight. All you will need to enjoy this feature is the Brew-by-Weight Lunar Scale.

For Linea Mini Owners with Connected IoT Board, but outdated Firmware:
If your Linea Mini has an IoT board but hasn’t received a firmware update (e.g., “v1.0rc3”), you’ll require a combination of the Linea Mini Lunar Scale and a Gateway. Please note that this installation may necessitate the assistance of a technician. This scenario is most likely if you purchased a Linea Mini that was connected capable, but you have never connected it via the App.

For Linea Mini Owners without an IoT Board:
If your Linea Mini is not connected capable, and you have not upgraded to an IoT board, you will need the Brew-by-Weight Lunar Scale and a full IoT kit.

Please ensure you meet these compatibility requirements before purchasing to fully enjoy the benefits of Brew-by-Weight. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to [email protected].
