The La Marzocco Linea Mini and GS3 MP are both high-end semi-automatic espresso machines designed for advanced users. The Linea Mini has a price point of $5,900, while the GS3 MP is offered at a higher price of $7,900. Both machines are manufactured by La Marzocco, a renowned brand in the espresso machine industry, aimed at serious coffee enthusiasts.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing capabilities, both machines utilize a paddle activation mechanism and rotary pumps. The Linea Mini features a dual boiler system with a brew boiler capacity of 0.2 liters and a steam boiler capacity of 3.5 liters, with a heat-up time of 15-30 minutes. On the other hand, the GS3 MP also has a dual boiler but boasts a larger brew boiler capacity of 1.3 liters and a slightly bigger steam boiler capacity of 3.5 liters, with a longer heat-up time of over 30 minutes due to its saturated group type.

Features Comparison

Both machines come equipped with impressive features tailored for the advanced user. They include auto shutoff, gauges for boiler and steam pressure, PID control for temperature stability, and a steam wand with no-burn technology. Notably, the GS3 MP also includes flow control and a shot timer, which gives it an advantage in precision brewing, while the Linea Mini does not offer these specific features.
