La Marzocco Linea Mini R Wood Mid-Section by Specht Design
Warm walnut instead of cool stainless steel: the Specht Mid-Section makes your Linea Mini R a one-of-a-kind piece – magnetically attached, mounted in seconds.
Your hand runs over the machine in the morning, and instead of metal you feel wood. A living grain, hand-finished with organic waxes and oils, warm under your fingers before the boiler even heats up. The machine stays the same – and yet it's different.
Why wood changes something on an espresso machine
Enjoyment doesn't start with the first sip. Design, material and feel measurably influence how we perceive aromas – the limbic system links what we see and touch with what we taste. A machine you enjoy looking at doesn't objectively make the espresso better. But it makes the moment better. And that's what it's about.
Specht Design crafts the Mid-Section from A-grade American walnut, ethically sourced and hand-finished. Every grain is different – your Linea Mini R from our La Marzocco Collection carries a piece that exists in exactly this form only once.
Mounted in seconds, removable anytime
The Mid-Section slides over the machine's middle panel and holds with integrated magnets. No tools, no screws, no changes to the machine. If you ever want to go back to pure stainless steel, you simply take it off again – without leaving a trace.
No one needs a wood Mid-Section. Wanting it is enough – or not wanting it is just as fine. That's an emotional decision, and that's exactly how it should be. Whoever wants it knows why. Our opinion is just one of many here.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Mid-Section fit every Linea Mini?
This version is made exactly for the Linea Mini R – identifiable by a serial number that starts with «MI». If your machine is an older Linea Mini (serial number starts with «LM»), get in touch before ordering at [email protected] – we'll work out the right version together.
How is the Mid-Section attached?
It slides over your machine's middle panel and holds with integrated magnets – no tools, no screws, no glue. Installation takes just a few seconds, and it can be removed at any time without leaving a trace.
Where can I buy the Specht Design Mid-Section in Switzerland?
Directly online with us at coffeecoachingclub.ch – we deliver in 2–4 business days across Switzerland and to Liechtenstein.
How do I care for the wood?
The walnut is finished with organic waxes and oils. In everyday use, a dry or slightly damp cloth is enough. That way the surface keeps its warm, silky feel for years.
Can I see the product before buying?
Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – the display changes. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the product you have in mind is currently there.
Roastery tip
Warm wood calls for an espresso with depth: Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight – dense, full-bodied, with notes of caramel and chocolate. For anyone who wants maximum body with no acidity at all: Very Nutty. And if you feel like a fruity discovery, you'll find in Wild Peach a lively experience. That's our recommendation, one of many.
