The part that makes your paddle look clean again
On the Linea Mini, the paddle is the part you touch most often: every shot starts and ends with it. Its cover is the visible plastic part that hides the mechanism behind it and stops water and coffee grounds from running in.
With daily use, it wears. The plastic turns pale at the edges, gets scratched by the ring on your finger, and if something knocks against it, it cracks. A new part costs far less than the thought of your machine slowly starting to look worn. Part number C.2.035, black plastic version.
When it is due
These signs point to a replacement:
- The cover is cracked or broken at a corner.
- The plastic is worn pale where you grip it.
- It no longer sits firmly and shifts when you operate it.
- Moisture or coffee grounds visibly collect under the cover.

Important for installation
Behind the cover sits the valve mechanism of the brew group, which is a pressurised area. We do not provide step-by-step instructions for this. If you are unsure, take the machine to a workshop – the effort is small, a damaged valve on the other hand is not.
Who it is for
For anyone who uses their Linea Mini every day and notices that the most-touched part of all is the one that ages fastest. Also worthwhile before reselling: a fresh paddle part makes a good impression straight away.
What goes with it
You will find more parts under Spare parts La Marzocco Linea Mini; the overall category is Accessories and spare parts La Marzocco. For a group overhaul, the group head gasket for Linea Mini R and Micra is usually part of it too, and you will find cleaning products under Machine and grinder cleaning.
From our workshop in Bern and Zurich
We teach baristas to guide the paddle with the flat of their hand instead of pulling it with two fingers. This makes the cover last noticeably longer, because the load does not always fall on the same edge. This is our observation from the workshop, not a manufacturer specification. For dialling in afterwards we use Nutty Delight, for milk coffee Cozy Chocolate and for strong espressos Very Nutty. You will find the selection under Coffee beans.
Returns excluded
Service 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 please check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine before ordering – or drop us a short message and we will clarify the fit together. Your rights in the event of defective goods remain unaffected.
Frequently asked questions
Is the paddle itself included?
No. What you receive is the cover; we carry the paddle as a separate part.
Does the cover fit every Linea Mini?
It is listed for the Linea Mini. There have been small changes over the years of manufacture, so if in doubt, send us the serial number.
What colour is the part?
Black, made of plastic.
Can I replace the cover myself?
We recommend fitting by a qualified professional, because the valve mechanism of the group sits behind it.
Can I pick up the part at the showroom?
Yes. We are in Bern at Gerberngasse 44 and in Zurich at Hagenholzstrasse 50b. Drop us a short message and we will have it ready for you.
