La Marzocco plumbing connection kit for Linea Micra
Original La Marzocco plumbing connection kit for the Linea Micra. It lets the machine run directly off the mains water and drain system instead of the tank – just like the larger commercial machines from La Marzocco. Installation requires opening the machine and modifying various components; we recommend having this work carried out by a specialised service partner.
This kit is specifically matched to the Linea Micra and does not fit other La Marzocco models – lines, seals and fittings differ from machine to machine. Whether run from the tank or the mains: both ways produce the same espresso in the cup, the choice is a purely practical one. Our view on this is one of many.

Who it's for
For anyone with a Linea Micra who has a water connection within reach and wants to skip the daily tank refill – at home just as much as in a small office. If you'd rather keep running the Micra from the tank, you're not missing out: both ways are valid, that's our take on it, not the only right answer.
Pairs well with
Water makes up over 90 percent of espresso, with an ideal range between 50 and 100 mg/l mineral content – if you're running the Micra on mains water, our Brita water filter collection has the right filtration to go with it.

Frequently asked questions
What's the benefit of the plumbing connection on the Linea Micra?
The Micra draws water directly from the mains and drains wastewater, no more filling or emptying the tank. There are a few things to consider, especially with water filtration; we're happy to advise.
Does the kit include the drain connection too?
Yes, the kit connects the Linea Micra to both the mains water supply and the drain – just like the larger commercial machines.
Can I install the plumbing kit myself?
Installation requires opening the machine and modifying various components. We recommend a specialised service partner.
Does this kit also fit the Linea Mini, GS3 or Linea Mini R?
No. La Marzocco builds a dedicated kit for each machine line with different lines and fittings. We carry separate kits for the Linea Mini and GS3, as well as for the Linea Mini R.
Can I see the product in the showroom before buying?
Yes, in our showrooms in Bern and Zurich we're happy to show you the kit and the installed version on the Linea Micra in person.
Roastery tip
Between the plumbing work and the new water connection, one thing stays the same: the coffee in the cup. For the majority of our community we recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight from our own roastery – full-bodied, aromatic, dense. If you're after maximum body with no acidity at all, Very Nutty is the one. And for anyone curious about a fruity experience: Wild Peach – a discovery on the side, never the main message. That's our recommendation, one of many.
