La Marzocco GB5 S Espresso Machine | 2, 3, or 4 Groups
La Marzocco
With a history dating back to 2005, the second generation GB5 carries on the spirit of the GB5 line: a machine rooted in classical European design, coupled with cutting edge performance. The new GB5 S features a revamped visual identity which modernizes the machine without sacrificing the look, premium feel, or dynamic elegance. 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 gracious lines and harmonious curves of the GB5 S speak to the La Marzocco heritage of design and intention. The understated side shields, elegant Florentine lilies, and subtle insignia of il marzocco on the cup rail, combine to give this machine the feel of an heirloom built to stand the test of time.
GB5 S Espresso Machine Product Details
- Option scales (ABR) lets users brew by volume, mass, or brew ratio to suit their workflow
- Dimmable barista lights (av and abr), 3 stage LED lights for eco, on, and brewing modes
- Dual PID (coffee and steam) allows users to electronically control coffee and steam boiler temperature
- Saturated groups - water never leaves the coffee boiler during the brewing process, ensuring unsurpassed thermal stability, shot after shot
- Insulated boilers reduce energy consumption while contributing to temperature stability
- Separate boilers optimize espresso brewing and steam production
- Piero group caps: re-engineered internal water path and flow-meter positioning that increase temperature stability
Auto-volumetric (AV)
AV measures the volume of the water passing through the portafilter using a flow meter. Shots are stopped when a pre-set volume of water has been dispensed. This provides consistency based on water volume. Best for shops that prioritize ease of use and reliability for a large volume of shots.
Auto-Brew Ratio (ABR)
ABR measures the weight of the liquid espresso using built-in scales. Shots are stopped when a target weight (or ratio) of liquid espresso has been achieved. This provides greater consistency by automatically adjusting for variations in the coffee dose weight. Best for quality-focused cafes that need maximum control and flavor consistency across different coffees.
Semi-Automatic (EE)
A semi-automatic EE machine lets you control parts of the brewing process while it handles the water pressure for you. You grind and tamp the coffee, then start and stop the shot manually with a button or lever. The machine uses a built-in pump to push hot water through the coffee at the right pressure. It gives you more control over flavor than a fully automatic machine, but it’s easier to use than a manual one.
