I bought a La Marzocco Linea Mini R and a Ceado E37S grinder from Mark B. at Chris’ Coffee and he provided excellent service every step of the way. I knew the machine was going to take a while because it was built in Florence at the factory and shipped directly to me. Mark kept me in the loop all along the way. The grinder shipped right away but the machine was about a 4 month wait. However, along the route the machine was stolen from a warehouse in TN before it was delivered to me. This is where Mark and Chris’ Coffee really helped. Mark got in touch with La Marzocco and, long story short, they fast-tracked a new Linea Mini R for me. As I understand it, they took the next white machine (the color I ordered) and sent it to me when it was built. I appreciated the service from both La Marzocco and Chris’ Coffee. I’ve had the machine and the grinder for a year and I wanted to get to know them both better before I left a review. I definitely would buy another La Marzocco. It’s a phenomenal machine and makes coffee lightyears ahead of that at the big green and white mermaid. The Ceado is nothing short of a tank. I cannot stress highly enough that if you are purchasing a decent espresso machine, you need an equally good grinder to make it worthwhile. Mark provided a discount (this was pre-tariff) for the Linea Mini and I got a stellar machine at the best price.
