How long does it take to receive your order from La Marzocco and what does the process look like? I placed an order with them for a grinder and an espresso machine.
I made a rookie mistake and ordered a dosing cup separately ($45) before realizing the Pico grinder already comes with one. Now I'm stuck deciding whether to return it or keep both.
For context, my setup is a Pico + Linea Micra, no connectivity between the two. Is there any practical advantage to having a dedicated standalone dosing cup, or is the one bundled with the Pico good enough that I should just return the extra?
Is a dosing cup included with a Pico grinder?
Is a dosing cup included with a Linea Micra or a Pico grinder?
BT wedge distribution tool or a connected scale, if you had to pick just one, which would you choose and why?
I can’t justify buying both right now, so I’m trying to figure out which one is the better investment.
I just ordered my first-ever espresso setup and would love some advice!

A few questions:
Thanks in advance!
Best grinder to pair with a Linea Micra. Ideally, a la marzocco grinder.
Finally pulling the trigger on a Micra in July and I've gone back and forth on this way too many times. Everything else is decided, it's literally just the finish holding me up.
I'm really feeling the polished stainless. I love how it looks like a mirror, feels like something you'd see in an actual espresso bar.
But I keep second-guessing myself because I keep reading that scratches are basically inevitable with daily use. How bad does it actually get over time? Like day-to-day wiping, touching it, cleaning around it. Does it start looking rough after a year or two or is it manageable? And fingerprints, the island means people are touching it from every angle so is it a constant wipe down situation? Also has anyone actually polished out scratches on theirs, does it work or is that just something people say?
I get that brushed is probably the smarter choice because the grain hides everything naturally. But I just don't like the look of it as much and at this price point I want to actually love how it looks.
For those who have the polished SS, now that brushed stainless is also an option would you have gone brushed instead? And is the brushed just a new skin or does it actually come with any differences under the hood?
