The group cover that gives the Micra its face back
The cover sits on the brew group of the Linea Micra, right where steam rises, water splashes and the portafilter brushes against it as you insert it. It is a visible part and a protective part at the same time: it keeps the group clean and gives the machine its clear lines.
After a few years, it shows. A limescale film on the surface, a scratch from the portafilter handle, the bare material peeking through at an edge. This version comes in the colour RAL 9006, part number C.1.743.71.01.
When it's time
Replacing it is worthwhile if:
- the surface is scratched or chipped at the edges,
- limescale films can no longer be removed,
- the cover is warped and no longer closes cleanly,
- you want a uniform look after a colour change or before selling the machine.

Important for installation
The cover sits directly on the brew group, a component that gets hot and is under pressure. We deliberately do not provide step-by-step instructions for this. Let the machine cool down completely and disconnect it from the mains before anyone works on it – or take it to a workshop.
Who it's for
For Micra owners who want to refresh the look of their machine, and for anyone who wants to replace a damaged cover. Pay attention to the colour when ordering: the Micra comes in several versions, and this part is RAL 9006.
What goes with it
More parts are listed under La Marzocco Linea Micra spare parts. The matching group head gasket for Linea Mini R and Micra usually goes along with a group overhaul, and the water tank for the Linea Micra is the second classic. You'll find cleaners under Machine and grinder cleaning.
From our workshop in Bern and Zurich
On the Micra, we wipe the group cover dry after the last shot of the day while it is still lukewarm. Once limescale has dried onto the cool surface, it can later only be removed with agents that attack the colour. This is our routine, not a manufacturer requirement. We like to pull the test shot afterwards with Nutty Delight, for milk drinks with Cozy Chocolate, for strong cups with Very Nutty. Everything under Coffee beans.
Returns excluded
Spare parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are sourced specifically for each order and cannot be resold after installation or a test fitting on the machine. So before ordering, check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or drop us a line and we'll check the fit together. Your rights in the event of defective goods remain unaffected.

What colour is RAL 9006?
It is the colour the manufacturer specifies for this version. If you're unsure whether it matches your Micra, send us a photo.
Does the cover fit every Linea Micra?
It is listed for the Linea Micra. Besides the model, the colour variant is decisive – if in doubt, send us the serial number.
Are screws or gaskets included?
No, only the cover is supplied.
Can I install it myself?
We recommend installation by a qualified professional, because the cover sits directly on the brew group.

Yes. We are in Bern at Gerberngasse 44 and in Zurich at Hagenholzstrasse 50b. Drop us a line and we'll have it ready for you.
