$11,660 Aimé Leon Dore x La Marzocco Linea Micra Sells Out Instantly

Everything Aimé Leon Dore touches turns to gold, and the latest example of their collaboration prowess is with the “Rolls-Royce of coffee machines,” La Marzocco, and their entry-level Linea Micra coffee machine.

Priced at USD$11,660, the custom-made Café Leon Dore / La Marzocco Linea Micra coffee machine is nearly three times the price of the standard Linea Micra (USD$4,200) and it doesn’t even come with a matching grinder! However, like the USD$6,555 Porsche x La Marzocco collaboration, that didn’t turn away hypebeasts and coffee snobs who bought the limited release machine as soon as it was made available.

Now sold out, the custom-made machine in Café Leon Dore Green was finished with walnut wood details on the brew paddle, portafilter, and knob plates. Those unable to secure an Aimé Leon Dore x La Marzocco Linea Micra are still able to cop the brand’s collaborative collection, which includes an apron, tee, and hat at Aimé Leon Dore stores and online at aimeleondore.com. Alternatively, grab a Linea Micra for a fraction of the price!

While it’s become an aesthetic piece of home decor in recent years, the La Marzocco Linea Micra is a high-end coffee machine with barrister-grade features, including dual boilers for brewing and steaming simultaneously, PID temperature control, integrated grouphead for thermal stability, and even app connectivity (temperature control, schedule, usage, clean cycle). It’s also one of the best home coffee machines that we’ve ever tested!

Still, given the steep price tag of the Aimé Leon Dore model (SKU: 23.121/A15.OFB), we’d probably save some money and pick up the even more impressive Linea Mini (USD$6,300) or gs3 (USD$8,000).

Here are the technical specifications for the Aimé Leon Dore x La Marzocco Linea Micra:

• Width: 11.38 in / 28.91 cm
• Depth: 18.69 in / 47.48 cm
• Weight: 42 lbs / 19.05 kg

Not just a mash-up of two popular brands, there’s a natural connection with Aimé Leon Dore and La Marzocco. The New York City-based fashion and lifestyle brand’s Greek café, Café Leon Dore, is ranked as one of the best places to get coffee in the city and is home to the famous Freddo espressos, mountain tea, and Greek pastries.

Not only does the machine fit the aesthetic of the brand with a textured matte gloss finish in Café Leon Dore Green, logos, photo-etched Aimé Leon Dore crest at knob plates, and brass and walnut wood details, but it’s a functional piece of equipment that you can use to make great espresso, and we’re here for it!

Now sold out, the Aimé Leon Dore x La Marzocco Linea Micra was available at the La Marzocco linked below, priced at USD$11,660.
