La Marzocco GS3 MP with glass side panels

High thermal stability and controlled pre-infusion ensure the best espresso:

The dual-boiler veteran from the Florence-based luxury brand La Marzocco has recently been technically upgraded. This portafilter espresso machine, featuring the famous La Marzocco paddle, has brilliantly overcome its minor weaknesses with a new conical valve system. Finally, the paddle can now also control a pleasant pre-infusion in water tank mode, thanks to the pump pressure.

The new conical valve system

Allows progressive control of water flow and pressure through an internal orifice before full brewing pressure is applied. The new conical paddle valve controls pre-infusion while the rotary pump runs at full pressure. This dynamic system allows the barista to reduce channeling and results in a more consistent extraction. This machine is suitable for espresso fans who are looking for a durable, robust machine while still wanting to influence their espresso results. The steam from the professional lance is very strong and dry; frothing large quantities of milk in just a few seconds is child's play with this classic machine. The pump is one of the quietest on the portafilter market.

Handmade in Florence

This portafilter espresso machine from the luxury manufacturer La Marzocco of Florence is the mother of all home dual-boiler machines. It makes little effort to please, and it doesn't even need to: it simply can do so much. Every barista would love to try out the paddle; when it's on display in the showroom, it receives a great deal of attention and admiration. It features a saturated brewing group, a very quiet rotary pump, two horizontal, finely insulated stainless steel boilers, a paddle with manually controlled pre-infusion, and a brewing group pressure gauge that displays the applied pressure. It also features a preheating system for the incoming water. The PID temperature control is the crowning glory of this machine. The espresso results are outstanding and unparalleled. The steam from the professional steam wand makes micro-fine milk foam child's play. Need water for a cup of tea? No problem with this machine: you can set a bypass and adjust the temperature for your tea.
