La Marzocco Packages: Linea Micra & Mini + Pico Grinder

Buying a La Marzocco is exciting. Working out everything that goes around it is less so. Our La Marzocco packages take care of that part: each one pairs a Linea Micra or Linea Mini espresso machine with La Marzocco's Pico grinder, then adds a scale, jugs, cleaning supplies and bench tools you reach for every morning. Choose the machine first, then the finish. The guide below walks through both, and what arrives in the box.

Why the grinder matters as much as the machine

Every barista will tell you the grinder shapes the shot as much as the machine does. A beautifully engineered espresso machine can only work with the grounds it is given, so pairing the machine with a purpose-built espresso grinder from day one is the most useful decision in a new setup. That is the idea behind this range: every package puts a La Marzocco Linea machine beside a La Marzocco Pico, so the pair is designed to live on the same bench.

What the extras are actually for

The rest of each kit is the gear that turns a machine into a daily routine. The coffee scale lets you weigh dose and yield, the simplest way to make the same shot twice (see our coffee scales to upgrade later). The 58mm blind filter basket and Cafetto Espresso Clean handle regular group-head cleaning, the habit that keeps a machine tasting like new (browse the full Cafetto cleaning range for refills). Two Coffee Parts Classic milk jugs, 600ml and 360ml, cover a single flat white through to milk for a couple of cups; see our milk jugs if you want a different spout or size. A Dreamfarm Grindenstein knocking tube takes the spent pucks, the Coffee Parts corner silicone tamping mat protects the bench and the portafilter while you tamp, and a Crema Pro chocolate shaker finishes cappuccinos.

The brands we stock run their own quality-control testing, and our team uses and tests the products we sell.

Linea Micra or Linea Mini?

Both machines take their design cues from La Marzocco's commercial Linea espresso machines. The Linea Micra is the compact option, built to give serious espresso capability on a smaller footprint, which suits tighter kitchens and first-time La Marzocco owners. The Linea Mini brings dual boilers for dedicated brewing and steaming, plus PID temperature control, so you can pull a shot and steam milk without waiting on one or the other. If you make several milk drinks back to back, the Mini is the one to look at first.

Picking a finish

Linea Micra packages come in White, Black, Brushed Steel, Creme, Navy Blue, Red and Satin Silver. Linea Mini packages come in Black, Brushed Steel, Creme, Navy Blue, Red, Satin Silver, White and Yellow.

In most packages the La Marzocco Pico grinder matches the machine's colour. Two pairings differ: the Brushed Steel packages come with a Satin Silver Pico, and the Yellow Linea Mini is paired with a Black Pico. Check the listing for the exact pair before you order.

Before you order

Most of the machines and grinders we sell are bench-tested in our Pagewood workshop before dispatch. Plan for water filtration from the first day, because the water running through the machine affects both the taste in the cup and the life of the boilers. And a quick note on searches: if you were looking for coffee packages of beans, or a coffee taster pack to try a few roasts, head to our coffee range. This page is for the equipment those beans deserve.

La Marzocco has been the official World Barista Championship machine across multiple competition cycles, and Anthony Douglas, the Australian who won the 2022 World Barista Championship in Melbourne, is a La Marzocco Global Ambassador. The Linea Micra and Linea Mini carry that same Linea lineage into a home kitchen. Coffee Parts is an authorised La Marzocco retailer.

The package covers the machine, grinder and daily tools. These are the additions we'd put beside it:

A water filter. The one we'd never skip. It protects the boilers and improves the cup; start with our water filters.

A WDT tool. A few seconds of stirring before you tamp evens out the grounds. Browse WDT tools.

Fresh beans. The best machine and grinder still need good coffee to work with.

If I could give one piece of advice to someone buying their first La Marzocco, it's this: don't treat the grinder as an afterthought. The machine gets all the attention, but the grinder decides what ends up in the cup. That's why I like these packages. Every one starts with a proper pair, not a machine with something bolted on. Pick the finish you'll enjoy walking past every morning, put a water filter on it, and spend your energy on good beans. That's where the fun is.
