LM have released the Linea mini in the US. Looks as if it might be pitched in price towards the top end of the dual boiler range, but below that of a GS/3. I first saw pics of this one about a year ago.
Really clunky sounding temp control and loses the saturated group of all other LM stuff. For me, the design just doesn't do it and borders on fugly, but it will no doubt have its fans. I guess it's the "built to a price" variant. I guess the black works ok.
I'll get excited if/when the GS/3 absorbs the gear pump and tech of the Strada MP.

- Integrated Group (not saturated)
- 3.5 L tank
- Dual boiler
- Internal Rotary pump
- barista lights
- Jog Wheel temp control of PID
- not plumbable
- colours
- EE paddle group
- Hot water fixed at 100 deg. C
- Preset (2 sec) preinfusion
No news on it coming this way yet.
