Overview

Owning the Dalla Corte Mina Espresso Machine Oak is truly emblematic of Dalla Corte’s commitment to superb espresso and everything they have passionately ventured to accomplish. With the arrival of the Mina, things have undeniably changed here at the office. There’s a palpable sense of excitement, almost an impatience, driven by our eagerness to share this revolutionary machine with our customers. This, of course, may be due in part to all of the exceptional coffee it has made for us, but the Mina genuinely is something else entirely, and we wholeheartedly recommend it. With its advanced flow profiling system and incredible ingenuity, we’re positive you’ll agree.

Features and Performance

The key to understanding the unparalleled capabilities of the Mina lies at its heart: the groundbreaking DFR (Digital Flow Regulator) and a custom-made Flow Meter. This is the first flow meter explicitly designed for an espresso machine, and it boasts astonishing accuracy, capable of measuring up to 80 pulses per second. When first approaching the Mina, perhaps the most striking feature you’ll notice is the elegant yoke positioned above the brew group. This yoke works in concert with the DFR and Flow Meter. You can utilize the yoke in both manual and automatic modes. When brewing coffee using the control knob on the right, you will operate in automatic mode only. This manual lever allows you to dynamically adjust the flow rate across five distinct stages during your extraction, ranging between 0 and 12 grams/second. Each stage of flow rate is visually represented by a series of lights on the right side of the machine, serving as a convenient visual aid. By adjusting the flow rate, you are granted an entirely new level of control over your espresso extraction, essentially allowing you to create a truly unique extraction profile. With the Mina, Dalla Corte’s core mission was to offer baristas ultimate control over their espresso’s balance, acidity, sweetness—even its aftertaste and texture. After extensive testing, we are confident that Dalla Corte has achieved that mission in spades.

Unparalleled App Control and Consistency

Another crucial strength of the Mina comes from the indispensable Dalla Corte Mina Espresso Machine Oak App, which provides seamless control over flow profiling automatically. When connected to the App, you can effortlessly save your favorite brewing profiles and select precisely which one you prefer your Mina to execute. From within the app, you have the freedom to create entirely new profiles or meticulously edit existing ones by adjusting the flow rate in grams/second and the time duration at each of the five steps within your flow profile. With this level of granular control, we are proud to report that our results from the Mina have been the most consistent we’ve ever experienced from an espresso machine.

On the App, you’ll find a real-time shot timer, precise group temperature readings, and steam boiler temperature monitoring, along with a litany of other parameters that you can freely adjust. Another intriguing feature of the App is its ability to upload flow profiles to any other Mina machine. For cafes or home setups with multiple Minas, this means you can easily create specialized brewing stations, with each machine precisely tuned to extract the perfect cup from a particular coffee bean. And, with the Mina’s NSF certification, it stands as a powerful and reliable addition to any cafe. You can even manage an entire group of Minas with a single smart device. We’ve personally tested this functionality, and we’re delighted to say that the experience is truly transformative. The way we look at exploring the vast world of coffee has never felt more open and accessible.
