## What is La Marzocco Home?

The La Marzocco Home Mobile App connects the home machine and the home barista in ways never before possible. When using the app, the phone becomes a new display for the machine. This display makes it easier and more intuitive to adjust the machines parameters such as temperature and pre-brewing. Moreover, thanks to the app, the smartphone can be used as a remote control for the machine. For Linea Mini, Linea Micra and the Gs3 the app features are: in local connection the possibility to schedule weekly scheduling of On/Off times and in remote connection the possibility of turning it On and switching it Off. Thanks to these features, the machine will always be hot and ready, whenever, without wasting energy or time. The Mobile App’s control panel for the Linea Mini and Gs3 gives the user a real-time feedback over use. When you are not brewing coffee with the app it is also possible to read news about the world and community of La Marzocco Home, watch tutorials on how to use La Marzocco Home products, and read FAQs to help you brew the best coffee possible. Lastly, with its internet connection, it will now be possible to benefit from new and exciting updates, as we add new app functions in the future.

### 1/5 — The worst app of all time

*2025-03-19*

This thing gets worse with every update. There isn’t even a close second to how awful this thing is. For such an expensive machine god forbid they could make an app that was even somewhat decent. Never connects. Never installs. Have to enter some nonsense config mode. Their golden era is long behind them just move on

### 1/5 — Privacy concern

*2025-02-24, version 3.1.6*

I can understand the need for Bluetooth access but there’s no justification for making precise (or any) location access a mandatory requirement to use the app for  coffee machine. Please remove this requirement, and if you want to claim it’s for linking the app to the right region or distributor let me select. You don’t need my precise LatLong for that purpose.

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2025-02-15, version 3.1.4(1)*

I’ve been using the app for 3 weeks now with the Linea Micra and I had no issues so far, it works great!

### 3/5 — Please upgrade the UI

*2025-01-29, version 3.1.4(1)*

The UI is still made for iPhone 8, Please make a change.

### 1/5 — Stick to what you know

*2025-01-11*

This app is terrible beyond words. It is clunky, unreliable, and sluggish. You need the app to change settings like temperature and pre infusion so unfortunately it is a necessity!  This is an embarrassment for such a machine. Just make your machines manual like they were decades ago. Don’t make an app if you don’t know how. Make an espresso well and stop there.

### 4/5 — Can turn on machine remotely!

*2024-12-28, version 3.1.4(1)*

Great app, connects fine to the machine. Can turn it on, and then when ready temp goes green. I usually make americanos, so being able to leave steam boiler off is superb

### 4/5 — Can turn on machine remotely!

*2024-12-04*

Would love it to be able to show the status of when it’s warmed up to the temp. We can set the temp but when we turn on the machine it will say 94oC and is green. That to me means it’s at correct temp. But can’t be as I have just switched it on. Please make both boiler and steam amber whilst warming then change it to green when at desired temp.

### 1/5 — Not fit for the machine

*2024-12-03, version 3.1.4(1)*

This app was OK but is now next to useless. Slow, fussy, you can spend hours trying to get the thing to connect. LM need to get their act together and rebuild this completely. Updates are the worst, they almost always fail. Very very disappointing. Not good enough for the machine

### 1/5 — They’re building the best machine. And the worst app…

*2024-11-23, version 3.1.4(1)*

Marzocco is making the best and most reliable coffee machines and they’re asking you to interact with it with the worst possible outdated app. It’s a total non sense. Please design a better app overall and develop a widget we could access quickly and easily to start and stop the machine remotely. And please enable a shortcuts through the Apple Shortcut app! (To ask Siri to start and stop the machine for example… 😑). Just… do better. Like your machines.

### 3/5 — Functional but unimpressive

*2024-11-09, version 3.1.4(1)*

Fairly functional app, does what is says it will do — mostly. A little glitchy at times, with the clean cycle option being greyed out randomly, forcing an app restart several times. Would be great to fix these bugs, and amazing to add Siri shortcut or widget support.
