La Marzocco Linea Micra: your first espresso shot
Start with 17 g of coffee in and 34 g in the cup (1:2) for a medium roast. The grind number depends on your grinder: find yours below, then taste and adjust.
The recipe
- Dose: 17 g (the 17 g basket at its rating; 14 g and 21 g baskets are also supplied).
- Stop at: 34 g in the cup (1:2) for a medium roast, 43 g for a light roast. Paddle: move it back to the right when the scale reads your target weight.
- Temperature: Temperature: 92 °C. Brew temperature is set in the La Marzocco app (factory 93 °C). When lowering it, run a little water through the group to get there faster.
- Pre-infusion: Pre-brewing is set in the La Marzocco app: the valve opens and closes for the on/off times you set before full brewing starts. La Marzocco publishes no recommended times.
Where to start on your grinder
Starting settings in each grinder's own numbers. They are starting points from the makers' published ranges, not a guarantee: taste decides. Tap a setting for the full recipe with your roast and the next-shot fix, or a grinder for its light and dark starting points.
