Linea Micra - worth plumbing in?

Equipment Discussion

Hi everyone,

I’ve had my Micra now for over a month and absolutely love my machine. Since this is my first and only espresso machine I started with medium to dark roasts and so far the shots have been quite good to very good ;) I am wondering though… is the preinfusion feature worth plumbing the machine? My kitchen is not small but for me to plumb the Micra I’d have to move things around quite a bit, and so I wonder - is pre-infusion all it’s hyped up to be? I’m not a coffee nerd (yet) but I care about having smooth balanced and flavorful shots. Is the pre-infusion going to make a major change for my coffee experience?
