How did Grafikus Coffeetec come about?
In February 2016 I bought my first Linea Mini. I was really looking forward to this machine. But after just a few days of use I noticed that the machine could do even more. After just two weeks I had completely dismantled it and shortly afterwards replaced the rotary pump with a gear pump. I operated the gear pump using the factory paddle, so I now had a machine that left almost nothing to be desired.
In addition to this technical modification, I also addressed two things that had bothered me about the factory Linea Mini: the plastic caps and the rubber feet. I replaced both with self-designed stainless steel components.
Now that my Linea Mini was a fully-fledged pressure profiling machine and I had caught the fever, I asked myself what further adjustments could have a positive effect on the result in the cup.
"Unfortunately", when testing and experimenting, I came to the realization that the effort of adapting the Linea Mini to my ideas would be too much. For this reason, I decided to build my own espresso machine based on the proven hardware of my Linea Mini. So I started to create a collection of the desired functions. The image of an espresso machine that is modular and divided into different units for making espresso, steam/hot water and a central unit with the necessary technology quickly formed in my head. The goal was to hide as much as possible below the work surface. From these thoughts, a project developed that has now accompanied me for many years. My machine has been in daily use since 2019.
In addition to a great espresso machine that now stands in my living room and inspires me every day, I have learned a lot through this project. The experience gained and increased technical possibilities are now being used in conversion kits for the Linea Mini, Linea Mini R and Linea Micra as well as various accessories for espresso machines and grinders.
Since August 2023 I am official La Marzocco spare parts dealer and constantly expand the stock of spare parts for the La Marzocco Home machines, La Marzocco grinders and La Marzocco Gastro machines.
My long-term goal is to always have everything in stock that might be needed. Components that are not available in the shop can of course be obtained on request. Please just send a short email to: grafikus@grafikus-coffeetec.de
In the February 2024 I was approached by La Marzocco Germany to see if I could take a look at some espresso machines in the Munich area that had a defect. Since I had already worked on the Linea Mini and GS3 for many years, the answer was of course: yes.
From these initial machines, I have now had over 100 that have come to me for repair or service.
In the meantime, all machines in the Munich area that were purchased directly from La Marzocco Germany in case of a defect during the warranty period end up with me, so that the machine does not have to be sent by freight forwarder or post.
This is also particularly exciting for customers of the Linea Micra, which is only available through direct sales from La Marzocco. For the Linea Micra, I have an agreement with La Marzocco that I can add machines that were purchased online to my service inventory, so that I am the direct contact for warranty cases. If you are interested, please send me a short email to: grafikus@grafikus-coffeetec.de
In addition to the maintenance and repair of machines I also offer new espresso machines and grinders The Linea Mini R, the Pico as well as the EK43 and EK43S are now available from me. All machines can of course be modified – both technically and opticallyThese adjustments are directly at Purchase possible without affecting the warrantyIn addition, sets can be offered at attractive prices.
I am thrilled that I can bring joy to people all over the world with my passion for technology and the resulting products.
