Is the Zuriga E2 still available at Coffee Coaching Club?

No. We've permanently removed the Zuriga E2 from our range and don't offer it for purchase either online or in our showrooms in Bern and Zurich. This page exists because many coffee lovers are still searching for the Zuriga E2 – we want to answer that search honestly instead of letting it run into a dead end, and we show you our current alternative for the same idea with the La Marzocco Linea Micra: a dense, aromatic espresso in the smallest of spaces.

Can I buy the La Marzocco Linea Micra directly online?

Not in the classic sense with an instant checkout. La Marzocco requires a personal ordering process for the Linea Micra, and as a partner of La Marzocco, we follow this requirement. You get in touch with us – easiest by email at office@coffeecoachingclub.info – and we work out color, accessories and delivery date together with you before the order is placed. For all other items in our range, from grinders to beans, online purchasing works with us entirely as usual.

Can I see the La Marzocco Linea Micra before buying?

Yes. The Linea Micra is regularly in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) – you can experience it live there, move the paddle yourself and drink an espresso made from it. Since the ordering process is personal, it's worth sending a short message beforehand to office@coffeecoachingclub.info, so we can take the time for you.

What distinguishes the Linea Micra technically from a compact machine like the earlier Zuriga E2?

The biggest difference lies in the heating system. The Zuriga E2 worked with a thermoblock that heats up in about a minute and a half – fast, but with more temperature fluctuation during extraction. The Linea Micra brings a dual-boiler with a saturated group head, which needs a bit more time to reach full thermal stability, but then keeps the temperature noticeably more constant across the whole shot and from cup to cup. This is our observation from the roastery, others weigh it differently – in the end, what matters is what arrives in your cup.

Zuriga E2 vs. La Marzocco Linea Micra – Which One Fits Your Kitchen?

Zuriga E2 vs. La Marzocco Linea Micra - a comparison of compact espresso machines

The space beside the window may be barely fifty centimetres wide, yet it still has to produce a convincing espresso every morning. Many people found the Zuriga E2 while looking for exactly that: a Swiss machine for narrow kitchens and clean lines.

To be clear, Coffee Coaching Club does not currently sell the Zuriga E2, either online or in our showrooms in Bern and Zurich. This page therefore does not pretend that both models are available from us. It explains the earlier E2 using publicly available manufacturer information and presents the La Marzocco Linea Micra as our current compact alternative.

What defined the Zuriga E2

The Zuriga E2 combined a chrome-steel body, walnut details and a 700 ml laboratory-glass water tank in a compact machine weighing roughly nine kilograms. It used a 58 mm portafilter and a thick-film heating system that brought the machine to temperature in around one and a half minutes.

The standard E2 was designed as an espresso-only machine without a steam wand; milk steaming was offered on the E2-S variant. The E2 also did not provide an external PID control or pressure gauge. These details are based on public information about a product we do not currently carry, so we label that evidence boundary openly rather than presenting it as a first-hand CCC test.

La Marzocco Linea Micra - saturated group performance in a compact format

The Linea Micra takes a different approach. It uses separate coffee and steam boilers, PID temperature control, an integrated saturated group and a rotary pump. The result is a machine designed for stable brewing, quiet pressure delivery and simultaneous espresso and steam performance in a home format.

Its convertible 3-in-1 portafilter can be used as single-spout, double-spout or bottomless. App connectivity provides temperature and schedule controls. In our shop, the Linea Micra is currently configured as an online bookable consultation rather than an immediate machine checkout, so colour, accessories and delivery can be clarified before the purchase is completed.

Who the Linea Micra is for

The Linea Micra suits people who want a compact home machine but also value thermal stability, quiet operation, strong steam performance and the feel of a handcrafted La Marzocco. It is not the only correct answer, and nobody needs one simply because they once considered a Zuriga E2.

If the E2's minimal footprint and espresso-only simplicity were the main appeal, another compact machine may fit better. If you want more boiler capacity and a heavier milk-drink workflow, compare the Micra with the Linea Mini R and GS3 in our La Marzocco comparison.

Continue online: open the Linea Micra product and consultation page, use our machine comparison tool, or email office@coffeecoachingclub.info. The Bern and Zurich showrooms are an optional way to experience selected machines, not a requirement for starting the purchase.

Grinder, scale and tamper

A machine is only one part of the setup. For an accessible and precise grinder, see our Varia range or a hand grinder from the Comandante range. More advanced single-dose options include the Varia VS6 and the Weber Workshops EG-1. For weighing, compare Normcore with app-connected Acaia scales. Tampers are available in our tamper collection.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Zuriga E2 available from Coffee Coaching Club?

No. It is not currently sold online or in our showrooms. This page remains available to answer the comparison honestly and direct visitors to current alternatives.

Can I buy the Linea Micra directly through the website?

The CCC product page is currently configured as an online consultation, not as an immediate machine purchase. Starting there lets us clarify colour, accessories and delivery before the machine order is completed.

Can I see the Linea Micra before buying?

Selected machines can be experienced in Bern and Zurich. Please confirm the exact display model before travelling, because not every colour or configuration is permanently set up.

What is the main technical difference?

The standard Zuriga E2 used a compact thick-film heating system and focused on espresso. The Linea Micra uses separate coffee and steam boilers, an integrated saturated group, PID control and a rotary pump.

Which grinder suits the Linea Micra?

A compact, precise grinder is sufficient for many households. The Varia VS3 and Comandante C40 are accessible options; the Varia VS6 and Weber Workshops EG-1 provide more adjustment and presence.

Roastery tip

For a round, full-bodied starting point, we often recommend Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight. For maximum body with no acidity, consider Very Nutty; for a fruitier discovery, try Wild Peach. These are recommendations, not rules.
