La Marzocco GS3 AV Dual Boiler Espresso Machine (Original Automatic)

performance at home – la marzocco technology and performance in an elegant, self-contained footprint.

The La Marzocco engineering group set out to take the most advanced La Marzocco technology and translate it for a home espresso machine. The gs3 features the thermal stability system used in the La Marzocco Strada, including a preheating system, digital PID controller, saturated groups, a dual-boiler system, and digital display. These features make for a luxury espresso preparation platform: everything you could hope for as someone who wants to enjoy the best-quality espresso at home. All that’s left for you to do is to grind, dose, and tamp.

What is it?
 

The La Marzocco GS3 is a dual boiler espresso machine with a saturated group head, PID temperature control, shot timer, volumetric shot dosing, and a rotary pump that can be direct plumbed or run on its internal reservoir.

Who is it for?
 

The GS3 is for the true home barista who wants a truly premium machine that offers all the tools you'd expect at your favorite cafe, and no nonsense. You want to put an amazing espresso grinder next to this thing and dial the ratio, shot time, and temperature to perfection. Then you want to serve all your friends in quick succession and watch the coffee blow their minds.

Why do we have it?
 

The GS3 set the bar for excellence in prosumer machines when it was first released in 2008. With a robust set of features, power that you can run a coffee cart with, and a design that looks great in your kitchen and fits in it the GS3 stood without competition for the better part of a decade. Today it still upholds its title offering a level of reliability and quality that you just can't get from another machine, and providing an experience that we come back to time after time.

conical paddle

This new conical valve system assures progressive control of water flow and pressure via an internal orifice,
before applying full pressure. The paddle valve controls pre-infusion while the volumetric pump is working at full
pressure, allowing the barista to perform 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.
