La Marzocco Linea PB Commercial Espresso Machine

Description

In crafting the Linea PB, Piero Bambi refined and sharpened design elements and fine-tuned performance features that made the Linea Classic a specialty coffee icon. The Linea PB, designed by and named in recognition of Piero Bambi, introduces a new level of performance, reliability, and craftsmanship that carries the Linea into the future in a manner that is familiar, yet also fresh and new.

PB Model S vs. Model X

The main difference between the 2 new Linea PB models is the brew boiler configuration. The PB Model X has independent brew boilers for each group head and a separate steam boiler shared by all groups. The PB Model S has one brew boiler and one steam boiler, much like other La Marzocco machines including the Classic. 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 Linea PB Model X is also equipped with all the latest technology. This includes the pre-heater system, a hot water mixing valve accessible from the front panel of the machine, Pro Touch steam wands, Barista Lights and more.

The La Marzocco PB S & X models each come in two varieties:

AV (Automatic Volumetric) – Offering software-driven, highly accurate volumetric brewing, for consistency in high-volume environments.
