LA MARZOCCO SERVICE AND REPAIR ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH COAST, SNOWY MONARO AND EAST GIPPSLAND
I've completed the La Marzocco technical course for the Linea Classic and Linea PB, and I specialise in La Marzocco. Linea Mini, GS3 and commercial Lineas, serviced in your home or your café.
(01)The Problem
NO SHIPPING IT TO THE CITY
If you own a Linea Mini between Bairnsdale and Batemans Bay, your realistic options have been sending it away, driving it to a capital city, or doing it yourself off a forum thread.
I service La Marzocco machines on site. The machine stays where it is, not boxed up and shipped away.
(02)What I do on an annual La Marzocco service
Group gasket, shower screen and dispersion block
The parts that decide how a shot actually pours
Backflush and clean the group
Where the bitterness comes from
Descale or flush the boiler as required
Scale on the element is the expensive failure
Brew and steam pressure checked and set
To LM spec, measured, not eyeballed
Pump and OPV checked
The usual answer to “it used to be better than this”
Steam and hot-water valves serviced
The leaks you learn to live with
Seals, O-rings and fittings inspected
Cheap parts, expensive consequences
Safety devices and thermostats checked
Non-negotiable on a plumbed machine
Water test, filter checked or replaced
So the service lasts a year
Tested and tasted before I leave
It’s not done until it’s making coffee properly
(03)What it costs
I’ll quote you before I start. You’ll know what an annual service costs for your machine before I touch it — and because I’m local, you’re not paying for someone’s drive from Sydney or Melbourne.

Send a photo of the machine and the model plate, and I’ll tell you what it needs before I come.
