La Marzocco are known throughout the world, and within the coffee industry as superior espresso coffee machine producers and this is demonstrated in every machine that they deliver to the waiting coffee world!
No matter the La Marzocco machine, be it the Linea Classic, the Linea PB or the KB 90; you know you are purchasing a quality machine when you go with a La Marzocco. This can be said about all of their machines including the La Marzocco GB5, which you can see below and which is the topic of this piece.
The GB5 is a master of precision and temperature stability and with dual boilers, one for coffee brewing and one for steam you will never have to worry about the thermal stability of your water temperature. This makes it an ideal machine for coffee roasters that are testing and perfecting their own wonderful blends of coffee beans. However, this is not the only thing the GB5 offers, it also has a large range of features and specifications that both barista staff & coffee technicians will be happy with. These features include; high build quality of the entire machine which gives you outstanding control, superb ergonomics, so that you know you are looking after your employees, and the option to customize your machine so that it is perfect for you!
First of all let’s discuss the extremely high build quality of the GB5.
La Marzocco is counted as one of the best machines on the market and rightly so if the build of their machines have anything to say about it. The GB5 in particular comes with dual boilers which are insulated to reduce energy cost and consumption and with the added benefit of ruby flow restrictors, your boilers will have extra resistance to scale build up and erosion. Having two separate boilers ensures that no power, pressure or temperature is lost throughout the whole coffee making process, which protects the quality of your espresso and the texture of your milk. The GB5, much like other La Marzocco machines also comes with saturated group heads, which further ensures unsurpassed thermal stability, for every single shot. You also have the option of including an independent boiler for each group head, which gives the barista even more control over coffee and water temperatures. All of this ensures that the GB5 and your baristas are continually producing lovely coffee!
Next, let’s discuss the outstanding ergonomics of the GB5.
Ergonomics are features that maximise the efficiency of your workers and in turn your baristas and the GB5 is full of them! Some of these features include a hot water economizer, dual PID systems, digital displays, programmable group heads and even pro touch steam wands! The hot water economizer enables your barista and technician to fine-tune your hot water tap to your preferred temperature, dual PID systems allow your baristas the ability to customise steam and brewing temperatures, and pro touch steam wand protect your baristas from burns by ensuring that your steam wands are always cool to the touch.
And with all volumetric GB5’s coming with easy to use and intuitive digital displays and programmable group heads, you and your staff will always be able to ensure that your machine is running the way you want it to!
Finally, as everyone has different tastes the GB5 can be fully customized to suit your every need! First of all, the GB5 comes in two different versions; the volumetric (AV) version and the semi-automatic (EE) version. It can even be customized to include small, medium and high legs, so you get the exact look that you are after! The GB5 also has the added bonus of the option to add an autostemer steam wand. This is a steam wand that you can set and forget, leaving yourself free to pour the perfect shot! It can be extremely useful in cafes that have limited staff, or extremely high output. You can even add a cup warmer to this already outstanding machine, and if that wasn't enough you can have these machines customised to whatever colour you could think of!
