The tray where the Linea Mini's cups warm up
On the Linea Mini, the top surface is more than decoration: that's where the cups stand, where they warm up, and where every drop lands that misses when you move them. After a few years it looks the part – with rings, fine scratches and spots where the surface has gone dull.
This item is the cup tray for the second version, part number C.1.194.01. You don't replace it because the machine won't run otherwise, but because a Linea Mini sits on the kitchen counter and gets looked at every day.
When it's time
The surface is scratched, stained or damaged by a harsh cleaner. The tray has a dent and cups stand crooked. Something has torn or bent at one edge. Or the machine is being refurbished before a sale.

Important for installation
Under the tray are the boiler, hot lines and mains voltage. Before any work, the machine is switched off, disconnected from the mains, cooled down and depressurised. We deliberately do not give step-by-step instructions here. If you're not sure whether your Mini is the first or the second version, clarify this before ordering – the panels differ.
Who it's for
For Linea Mini owners who want to freshen up the look of their machine, and for workshops preparing a machine for resale. For a mere film of limescale, gentle cleaning helps more than a new panel.
What goes with it
The counterpart for the big sister is the GS3 cup tray. The Mini's look also includes the red logo, the white logo and the drip tray. Everything else is in the La Marzocco Linea Mini spare parts section.
From our workshop in Bern and Zurich: The best defence against cup rings on the tray is a felt coaster or a thin cloth under the cups – nobody finds that unsightly, and it saves you a panel later on. This is our own routine, not a manufacturer requirement. When we put the freshly cleaned tray back, the first espresso is part of it, usually the Nutty Delight or Cozy Chocolate. If you like it stronger, go for the Very Nutty; the whole range is under Coffee beans.
No returns
Original spare parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are sourced specifically for each order and cannot be resold once they have been installed or test-fitted on a machine. So before ordering, check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or drop us a quick line and we'll check the fit together. Your rights in the case of defective goods remain unaffected.
Frequently asked questions
What does V2 mean?
The list shows the part as the tray for the second version of the Linea Mini. It doesn't say exactly how the two versions are told apart – send us the serial number and we'll check it for you.
Does it also fit the Linea Mini R?
The manufacturer's data doesn't say, and we won't guess. Here too: send us the serial number and we'll check the fit before you order.
What colour is the tray?
The number C.1.194.01 has no colour suffix. At La Marzocco, endings such as .60 stand for black and .50 for white; there is no such ending here, so we don't claim any colour.
Is this a heated cup warmer?
No. What you get is the tray panel, without heating element and without electrics.
Can I see the part at your showroom and pick it up there?
Yes. We're in Bern at Gerberngasse 44 and in Zurich at Hagenholzstrasse 50b. Let us know beforehand and it will be ready for you.
