La Marzocco Plastic Water Tank Connector – Linea Micra
You lift the Micra's water tank off the counter, top it up with fresh water, and slide it back in – a quiet click, and the machine is ready for the next shot. That unremarkable moment only works because a small plastic piece inside links the tank precisely to the machine's water system.
The removable connector sits at the interface between the tank and the Linea Micra's internal water routing. Water makes up more than 90 percent of an espresso, and every connection along the way has to hold reliably so extraction stays even, whatever bean happens to be in the grinder that day. Because the piece is designed to be removable, it's easy to clean or, if needed, replace within minutes – built specifically for the Linea Micra and not compatible with other La Marzocco models.

Who it's for
For anyone with a Linea Micra at home who looks after the water tank themselves – no matter how long the machine has been in use or how much maintenance experience you bring. A small job anyone can learn.
Around your Micra
Since water makes up most of your espresso, it's worth looking beyond the tank to the water itself – our Brita water filter collection keeps mineral content steady in the recommended range. For regular care of the brew group and boiler, you'll find suitable products in our machine and grinder cleaning collection. And if you're curious about other models alongside the Micra, our La Marzocco collection covers the full range, from the Linea Mini to the GS3.
Frequently asked questions
What is the water tank connector on the Linea Micra for?
It connects the water tank to the Micra's internal water system, ensuring a reliable, even water supply to the brew group.
Does it also fit other La Marzocco models, like the Linea Mini or GS3?
No, it's built specifically for the Linea Micra's design and doesn't fit other models.
How do I know the connector needs replacing?
If the water tank no longer sits fully home or feels loose when you insert it, it's worth checking the connector. Thanks to its removable design, replacing it takes just a few minutes and no special tools.
Can I see the part in person before buying?
Yes, in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) we'll show you the connector fitted on a Linea Micra.
I'm also interested in a Linea Micra itself – how do I order one?
We arrange the Linea Micra together with you personally rather than through direct online purchase. Just drop us a line at [email protected] and we'll take it from there.
A note from our roastery
Good water is half the equation – good coffee is the other half. For anyone who loves dense, aromatic, full-bodied espresso, we recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight. If you want maximum body with no acidity at all, you'll find it in Very Nutty. And if you're curious about a fruit-forward experience, discover it in Wild Peach. Our recommendation, one of many.
