La Marzocco GB5 Commercial Espresso Machine

Description

The La Marzocco GB5 is designed with traditional European style and is dedicated for those locations with an eye on classic aesthetics but that still demand the highest level of performance. The two lilies on the side shields recall the company’s Florentine heritage while the front panel has been redesigned to increase group visibility.

The gracious lines and harmonious curves of the GB5  speak to the La Marzocco heritage of design and intention. The understated side shields, elegant Florentine lily, subtle insignia of il marzocco on the cup rail and more combine to give this machine the feel of an heirloom built to stand the test of time.

Making it possible to update the firmware with a USB. Measure the conductivity and hardness of water as it enters the machine with the built-in water sensor.

Model S vs Model X:

The main difference between the 2 new GB5 models is the brew boiler configuration. The GB5 X has independent brew boilers for each group head and a separate steam boiler shared by all groups. The GB5 S has one brew boiler and one steam boiler, much like the older version. What the X offers is the option of having different groups making coffees at different temperatures, as well as even more precise temperature control.

The GB5 S can be identified with the two red lilies on the side shields recall the company’s Florentine heritage while the front panel has been redesigned to increase group visibility. The GB5 X can be identified by the white logos and lilies; it combines advanced La Marzocco proprietary electronics with the industry-leading temperature stability and hydraulic systems to always ensure maximum consistency.

GB5 EE vs. AV vs. ABR:
The La Marzocco GB5 S & X come in three models:

EE (semi-automatic) – operates via a manual push button – your baristas start and stop the shot when they choose.
AV (Automatic Volumetric) – offers software-driven, highly accurate volumetric brewing, for consistency in high volume environments.
ABR (Auto Brew Ratio) – Uses precision scales, built beneath each group, that are incorporated in the espresso machine’s electronic system and provide the barista a new level of consistency, by giving control over beverage mass.
