Re-introducing the Linea Mini 2024
The La Marzocco Linea Mini, introduced in 2015, has quickly become the most sought-after home espresso machine. It's essentially a compact version of its commercial counterpart, sharing many of the same characteristics and design elements. Nine years on, it's received a significant update. The revamped Linea Mini boasts not only a new exterior but also several advanced features under the hood.
Revealed on Wednesday, February 14th, the updated Linea Mini presents a more modern and robust look. Among the aesthetic enhancements are soft-touch accessories designed to improve the user's tactile experience, along with a design element referred to as the “Della Pietra curve” (named after Stefano Della Pietra, a product designer at La Marzocco).
The upgraded Linea Mini now features a built-in shot timer and an enhanced cool-touch steam wand with a PEEK polymer tip for safer use. Users can easily adjust pump pressure without technical know-how too. The machine's pre-infusion system has been updated to a two-valve system for better saturation and includes a self-cleaning flow restrictor. Additionally, it offers Brew-by-Weight scale compatibility and integrates with the La Marzocco Home App. With the updates, Linea Mini offers home coffee experience with commercial-level precision and convenience.

GAGGIA Classic Evo Pro: Available at Tang Plaza and Takashimaya
The latest GAGGIA Classic Evo Pro has now been launched at Tang Plaza and Takashimaya!
As a leading choice among entry-level premium espresso machines for over a decade, the Gaggia Classic Pro has evolved into the Classic Evo Pro 2023. This machine is a versatile single-boiler, dual-function unit, enhancing the home barista experience.
It includes a new OPV for accurate 9 bar extractions, improved steel elements, and a protective layer to shield the boiler from corrosion and scale. Designed with professional-level features, it comes equipped with a 58mm commercial portafilter, a 3-way solenoid valve for controlled operation, and a professional steam wand for excellent milk frothing.
The Gaggia Classic has long been celebrated for meeting high coffee-making standards. The recent updates enable it to deliver espresso at an ideal 9 Bar pressure, thanks to a refined OPV spring. Gaggia has preserved the original brass brew group while enhancing it with a new steel cover that is resistant to peeling and flaking. The 58mm commercial portafilter has been upgraded from chrome-plated brass to stainless steel, ensuring a better match with the brew group and removing any visual flaws from earlier models.
Externally, the changes are subtle, except for the more polished group cover. The Classic Evo Pro maintains its solid steel structure, complemented by premium rocker switches and LED indicators for smooth operation. The inclusion of a 3-Way Solenoid valve allows for direct wastewater disposal into the drip tray after brewing, making the coffee puck dry and easy to discard. Furthermore, the machine supports a wide array of high-quality accessories for coffee preparation.
Internally, the Classic Evo Pro has been reinforced, with a new mounting plate that stabilizes the pump and boiler, reducing vibration noise. The boiler benefits from a food-safe, inert anti-scale coating, preventing limescale accumulation and extending the machine's lifespan.
Experience this coffee machine firsthand at our Boncafé counter, Tang Plaza B1 and Takashimaya Departmental Store B1. Seize the opportunity to be among the elite first group of customers benefiting from this exclusive offer!
At the moment, we are featuring a special coffee demonstration and sale at Takashimaya Departmental Store, available until March 14th. We invite you to come and join us! Don't miss out on the perks of free machine training and the support of our dedicated promoter service.

Why Every Coffee Lover Needs a Home Grinder
Hey there, coffee aficionados, caffeine connoisseurs, and bean enthusiasts! ☕️ Today, we're delving deep into the fascinating world of home grinder, unveiling the hidden gems and practical wonders that make them an indispensable tool for any coffee lover.
The Freshest Brew Imaginable
We've all heard it before: coffee is at its best when brewed from freshly ground beans. But what's the science behind it?
You see, coffee beans are a treasure trove of flavours and aromatics. The moment you grind them, they start releasing these compounds. With a home grinder, you're holding the key to preserving these treasures until the very last moment.
Think of it this way: a pre-ground coffee is like a once-bottled genie whose magic dissipates over time. But when you grind your beans just before brewing, you're letting that genie out at the precise moment you need it. The result? A cup that sings with aromas and flavours you never knew coffee could possess.
The Art and Precision of Grinding
Now, let's get geeky about grind sizes. Different coffee brewing methods call for different grind sizes. French press, espresso, AeroPress, pour-over—they all have their preferences. A home grinder empowers you to tailor your grind size to your brewing method, giving you complete control over your coffee's flavour profile.
But it's not just about size; it's about consistency. Achieving a uniform grind is vital for even extraction. Imagine making a pot of spaghetti with some noodles al dente and others overcooked. Inconsistent coffee grounds are like that uneven pasta pot—a recipe for subpar results.
With a quality home grinder, you can count on precision. It's not just a machine; it's a coffee artist, ensuring that each ground is as perfect as the last. Say goodbye to clumps and boulders, and hello to coffee grounds that brew harmoniously.
Crafting Your Morning Ritual
Your morning coffee ritual is more than just a caffeine fix; it's a sacred moment of connection with yourself and your surroundings. Owning a home grinder elevates this ritual to an art form. The gentle hum of the grinder is your prelude to the day—a symphony of anticipation.
In the morning stillness, as you weigh your beans and set your grinder to your preferred coarseness, you're not just making coffee; you're crafting an experience. It's a moment of mindfulness, a pause before the day's chaos, and a reminder to savour life's simple pleasures.
Exploring the Universe of Coffee
Coffee is a world traveler's dream, with beans hailing from the lush highlands of Ethiopia to the misty mountains of Colombia. Each region's beans offer a unique flavour journey, like a passport stamp for your palate. But here's the kicker—pre-ground coffee can't take you on this adventure.
Owning a home grinder allows you to embrace the diversity of the coffee world. You can switch between beans from different origins and discover a world of flavours. Whether it's the floral notes of a Kenyan AA or the chocolatey richness of a Brazilian Santos, you're in control of your coffee destiny.
Savvy Sips and Economic Benefits
Here's a money-saving secret: whole beans often cost less than pre-ground coffee. Not only do they have a longer shelf life, but you can also snag high-quality beans without the premium price tag. By investing in a home grinder, you're not just enjoying superior coffee; you're also making a savvy financial move!
Elevate Your Coffee Journey
The Mahlkonig Grinder X54 is a game-changer in the world of home grinders. The precision it offers is remarkable. With its 54mm flat burrs and powerful motor, you can switch between grind sizes effortlessly, whether you're in the mood for a rich espresso or a smooth French press brew!
