The bottom blue light will stay solid when the water reservoir is full and will blink when it needs a refill.
- Barista Lights: Every great performer needs stage lights to help them shine, so it's fitting that every great espresso machine provides stage lighting to highlight every awesome brew.
- Pre-Infusion: The Linea Mini arrives at your doorstep with a pre-programmed 1 second pre-infusion mode for optimal coffee extraction.
- Large Reservoir: The 3.5L water reservoir is sure to last through many brew cycles before requiring a refill.
