I told my wife I didn’t have a choice. The Linea Micra was the only machine that fit the low profile space in our kitchen. We upgraded from a Breville Dual Boiler bought 5 years ago.

    Those beans are some serious dark roast man😂

    Nice setup btw 😉

    Sticks out just as far lol. How pissed is she?

    An amazing solution to a glorious problem 🤔

    If I tried that line on my wife, she would tell me she doesn’t have a choice about a divorce 😀

    My god man, if you’re buying those horrible beans, you should have stuck with the Breville

    I love how it matches the grinder 😂 adorable

  7. It’s a way better looking machine too. My husband bought it in white. I ain’t mad about it.

    Lelit mara X is 1cm taller (35cm) and definitely fits. I costs ~ 1/3 of the LM micra price. Hope your wife doesn’t get to know this

    If I had a red BDB and replaced it with a red micra, no one in my house would notice 😂😂😂

    I love it that even with the new setup, there is no gain in counter space in front of the machine

  11. simplifysic

    It still doesn’t fit. Like shaq driving a Fiat

    Gorgeous setup! What is up with those beans? Looks like black liquorice candles, haha.

    What else were you supposed to do? Remodel the kitchen? This by far makes the most economical sense. She should be thanking you. Obviously, just think this, don’t say it out loud…

    Needs > Wants. I’m proud of you 👍 😂

    It’s so unfortunate that OP has had to suffer with low profile space in their kitchen FOR FIVE YEARS.

    So unfortunate, that now they have to suffer with a Linea Micra. So sad.

    One day you shall have space OP! 😆

  16. I’m looking for recommendations of low height kitchen cabinets. Need to upgrade… the kitchen

    Which colour red is the Eureka? I’ve been wondering if it matches well.

    im just here to comment on your Blue Pearl Granite counter top. My wife and I installed that in our first home. It was a gutted house and we redid the whole place. put Blue Pearl in our small galley kitchen. HATED to part with it because we loved it so much. it aint cheap and cant afford to do it in our current house. so here to just to admire yours. sorry for the off topic comment. Nice setup though!

  19. I think my lelit anna fits there…

    Edit: the water deposit opens on the top though

  20. Is the lip under the cabinet cosmetic or functional? If it’s cosmetic, you can shorten/remove it so you can fit a larger machine.

  21. It’s the only machine that colour matches the grinder.

    Yes dear. I’m sure.

    Please, try some beans from a roaster. Im guessing those are starbucks beans, theyr very dark and oily. Not good for your grinder or machine.

    Nice setup tho!

  23. I just looked up the price. Ouch! Let go of my arm!

    May I ask the price of such a glorious piece of equipment? It looks like the Porsche 911 of Espresso machines.
