Nice video and nice machine, I have the LM and I just love it.
Kind regards from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I was in until I saw the Portafilter set up. Considering the price, I feel this should be a one piece unit. There's too much plastic involved, keep it real.

I don't intend on buying a new machine anytime soon, but every time I watch one of these 'let's set up your machine and get started making espresso' makes me wanna drink another coffee so I make one along with the video haha.

Can you increase the pressure for a finer grain or is that not adjustable on this machine? Only course grain?

[fLiPo]

Wow, it comes with a screwdriver and cleaning brush now. Sadly my us version didn’t come with those.

[ammarrafiq]

Plz can you give me the answer that the expiry time of an espresso shot is about 30 secs is that true or not

[davem]

Love the machine, my only grumble is the space below the grouphead, same with other la marzocco machines, if they made it just 2 inches or so taller you could get a decent cup under . Great video guys

I haven’t been lucky enough to afford La Marzocco for my home ☹️

Huge LM fan, I personally own a mini.

However, when they came with the Micra I had a doubt. I find it a little small. Not sure about the Pico either . I would probably recommend people to save a little more to get the Mini and a good grinder, or simply go with another brand for that money.

Hi, can you please add a link to your "how to set up the Pico grinder"? I can't seem to be able to find it. Thank you

Clear and great video, do you think it’s worth getting the 21g basket or is the 17g enough?

[ceciliapalacios]

someday I'll have this espresso machine
