Six months in, they love their Micra.

positive

Their Micra, owned since launch, has been flawless through about 3500 shots.

“Got one the day they came out. Been flawless. Used every day I’m home.”

Their Linea Micra's milk texture is unmatched after a Bambino.

“Got pretty decent with the bambino pours but the texture is unmatched with the LM.”
positivegreat steam

Their Micra makes great coffee and is easier to dial in than their Robot.

“Micra is much easier to dial in though.”
positiveeasy to use

Since buying their Micra they have had no urge to upgrade and just enjoy the coffee.

“I got my Micra (along with walnut kit) last May, and haven’t had a single urge to upgrade at all.”
positive

Their Linea Micra and DF64 Gen 2 give great shots and workflow.

“The shots are great. The workflow is great. I need absolutely nothing else.”

Three years with their Micra and no regrets: build quality, serviceability and consistency delivered.

“LM has delivered on that and 3 years later I have not regrets.”

Their plumbed-in Micra heats quickly for back-to-back milk drinks, though it is overkill for them.

“I just took the opportunity to get the convenience of a plumbed-in machine that heated up quickly for back-to-back milk steams.”
positivefast heat-up

They call their Micra a dream machine.

“I have the Micra so same, but different and I don't think you will be disappointed, they really are dream machines.”
positive

Their Linea Micra has been amazing over 3.5 years of two shots daily.

“I have had one for over 3 1/2 years now with 2 shots daily and it’s amazing.”
positive

Their Linea Micra is very consistent but gives muted flavors, which they blame on its preinfusion.

“The Micra is very consistent but delivers boring, muted flavors compared to the Bezzera.”

They love their new Linea Micra and couldn't be happier.

“I love the new machine so much. It also looks incredible in the kitchen. I couldn’t be happier.”
positive

Has owned a GS3/MP and a Linea Mini and now uses a Micra: a great little machine, but small, with a reservoir that needs frequent refilling.

“So first - the Micra. My background is in commercial espresso, and while I think it’s a great little machine, it is indeed **small**.”
mixed

Found the Micra's after-dripping annoying because it makes stopping short light-roast shots precisely hard.

“What was most annoying to me with this machine is the after dripping and therefore precise stopping of the shot.”
mixed

Owns a Linea Micra and says its only real advantage is the small footprint; other machines do the same with more convenience.

“I've got the micra. the only reason to get it is for the small form factor.”
mixed

Their Linea Micra steams very fast; the steam wand takes getting used to for small quantities.

“Still works well and super fast (7-8 second steaming so done before extraction is ready).”
positivegreat steam

Their Linea Micra is plumbed in; install was painless and never refilling the tank or emptying the tray is amazing.

“Micra is plumbed in, which I’m super excited about. Install was painless”
