A commercial coffee machine made for busy service

TheLa Marzocco GB5 has been part of the La Marzocco commercial range since 2005, combining classic European styling with professional espresso technology.

The latest generation of the La Marzocco GB5 continues that heritage with modern electronics, improved ergonomics and features designed to make everyday operation and servicing easier.

For cafés where consistency matters, the GB5 provides the control and repeatability needed to produce excellent espresso throughout the day.

Key La Marzocco GB5 features

Dual boilers

Separate coffee and steam boilers allow the machine to optimise espresso brewing and steam production independently.

This helps maintain temperature stability while allowing baristas to steam milk and produce espresso during busy periods.

Dual PID temperature control

Electronic PID temperature control provides precise management of coffee and steam boiler temperatures, helping maintain consistency from shot to shot.

Saturated group heads

The GB5’s saturated groups are designed to provide excellent thermal stability, helping maintain consistent brewing temperatures throughout service.

Programmable doses

On AV configurations, programmable volumetric dosing allows baristas to repeat pre-set coffee volumes at the touch of a button.

This can help improve consistency between different members of the team and speed up service during busy periods.

Digital display

The digital interface provides straightforward access to machine settings and programming.

Automatic cleaning programme

The GB5 includes an automatic back-flush programme, making routine end-of-day cleaning simpler for busy coffee businesses.

Eco Mode

Eco Mode can be programmed to place the machine into standby, helping reduce energy consumption outside peak operating periods.

Barista lighting

LED barista lighting helps illuminate the working area around the groups and can be adjusted on applicable configurations.

Easy-service steam valve

The steam valve is designed to allow servicing directly from the front of the machine, helping engineers carry out maintenance more efficiently.

Water sensor

The latest GB5 S generation incorporates a water sensor capable of measuring conductivity and hardness as water enters the machine.

This provides useful information about incoming water quality and filtration performance.

La Marzocco GB5 configurations

The GB5 is available in different group configurations and operating versions, allowing the machine to be specified around the volume and requirements of your business.
