A union of simplicity and elegance that never goes out of style
Carefully designed to blend into any setting, the Linea Classic – with its dual boiler system, saturated groups and PID controller, is a work of art that is linear in design and dressed in polished stainless steel and includes stainless steel portafilters and advanced precision baskets.Its clean lines and simple charm furnish the many cafés, roasters, and chains whose names have defined the specialty coffee industry and has buoyed the development of the specialty coffee industry since the early 1990s.
A heavy duty workhorse – capturing the past, envisioning the future
The Linea PB features the iconic La Marzocco polished stainless steel body, updated with simplified lines and a lower profile, equipped with exclusive, user friendly interface software that gives the barista direct functional control over boiler temperature, brewing volume, hot water tap dose, auto-back flush as well as other options.
The Linea PB’s lower profile and increased work area also make it practical, without abandoning world renown Italian design.
An update to the technical and stylistic workings of an industry icon
La Marzocco introduced a version of the machine equipped with the most advanced La Marzocco technologies.
These include pre-heating system, independent boilers, hot water mixing valve accessible from the side panel and Pro Touch steam wands.
The Linea PB X features refreshed aesthetics based on the presence of barista lights as standard and white details such as logos, manometer, display lettering and keypads.
The dynamic preheater ensures unmatched temperature stability, provides steady brew water and steam even at the peak of the morning rush.
The Linea PB’s lower profile and increased work area also make it practical, without abandoning world renown Italian design.
Ultimate workflow
Easy
The KB90 is tailored to the needs of the busiest coffee shops, making drip preparation easier for barista.
Straight in portafilter
The Straight In Portafilter is designed to simplify the motions required to engage the portafilter and reduce the strain on the barista for even greater performance and everyday usability. High volume coffee environments demand that a barista can work fast and efficiently to produce drinks during busiest periods of the day.
Barista-friendly design, traditional semi-automatic brewing control
In an aim to complete the Strada line of models, the Strada EE is characterized by its underlying mechanical and electronic features (semi-automatic technology) built within the design of the Strada.
The initials “EE” refer to a feature whereby brewing is activated by the simple start & stop motion of the paddle on the group head, albeit with electronic pre-infusion. The Strada EE model includes individual brew boilers, proportional steam valves featuring anti-suction valves, a thermal stability system and easy-access for preventative maintenance.
Designed for and by baristas
Over the course of two years La Marzocco worked with thirty of the world’s finest coffee professionals to design a machine. This group was known as the “Street Team”; the Strada, Italian for street, was named in their honor. Street Team input resulted in the most technologically advanced traditional espresso machine featuring traditional hydraulics and a barista-friendly design. This conical valve system assures progressive control of water flow and pressure via an internal orifice, before applying full pressure. The new conical paddle valve controls the pre-infusion while the volumetric pump is working at full pressure, therefore barista may also perform a pre-infusion on one group while the other is extracting coffee. This dynamic system allows the barista to reduce channeling for a more balanced extraction.
The barista’s espresso machine
Featuring iconic Italian design and user-friendly interface; the Strada has always been evolving over time based on barista feedback. Within the Strada family, the Strada AV is the choice for customers who appreciate the familiarity of volumetric controls, and who seek repeatability and consistency in high-volume settings. With the reliability one expects from time-tested La Marzocco equipment, the Strada AV delivers the most stable brewing platform thanks to its thermal stability system and individual coffee boilers. Performance Touch Steam Wands improve the machine’s ergonomics remaining always cool to the touch. Barista-friendly electronics make it easy to change settings, program the machine, update the firmware by USB and provide the user an enjoyable, comfortable and unique experience.
The strada ep incorporates technologies from the aerospace and medical industries: where component failure is not acceptable
La Marzocco set out to design the Strada EP (Electronic Paddle) because of a shift in the market by providing the barista full control over the brewing process as never before. As more coffee roasters began moving toward direct trade and relationship coffees, we realized there was a need for a more stable, reliable and versatile machine that enabled them to showcase the very best of these coffees.
Pressure profiling allows the barista to bring out different flavor components which affect the balance and body of the shot, and produce a rounder, softer espresso that highlights brightness, sweetness and delicate notes. The Strada EP enables the barista to create that perfect expression of a particular single origin coffee as an espresso, and reproduce a flavor profile that may be difficult to attain at a constant 9 bars of pressure.
The Strada EP 1 group is equipped with a self-contained 2 liter water tank that makes plumbing optional.
Revitalising the best extraction
FLeva rethinks the form of a lever espresso machine. No longer must safety be compromised in order for a café to use lever technology. The lever group gives line of sight to the captivating breakthrough mechanics. Leva features groundbreaking design, and technology in a mechanical, reliable, and user friendly machine. The innovative design reduces the force required to operate the machine by almost 50% compared to a traditional lever machine, while also introducing a safety clutch system. Leva machine makes it possible to adjust both the pre-infusion pressure and the maximum extraction pressure delivered by the lever piston, allowing to personalize coffee brewing and attain consistent shots. With over 2500 hours of testing, Leva sets a new standard for the reliability of a mechanical system.
Advanced technologies combined with traditional ideologies
Featuring eye-catching design and lower profile to invite customer engagement, Leva re-invents the iconic lever machine design with more ergonomic elements. Leva is a cutting-edge café centerpiece that encourages engagement, barista experimentation and coffee conversations, while delivering the world’s best coffee extraction. Leva brings with it design, focusing not just on the physical beauty, but also on the satisfaction only found in a truly mechanical system. The user can intervene in the pre-infusion pressure, shot volume and extraction pressure on each group. Leva also greatly improves temperature stability of the traditional lever machine thanks to an innovative PID temperature control. Leva’s digital displays show real time extraction pressure on the coffee puck, the pre-infusion and extraction time as well as the pressure curve of the shot.
