La Marzocco GS3

professional-grade espresso equipment, built for the home

Description

The GS3 features a thermal stability system including a preheating system, digital PID controller, a saturated group, 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.

The Auto Volumetric model allows for programmable pre-infusion and water metering that makes hitting targeted brew ratios easy and repeatable. The Auto Volumetric model also has an auto clean function for back flushing to keep your machine clean and coffee tasting great

Features
• Exposed saturated group: Increased temperature stability, ergonomics, and workspace visibility.
• Dual boiler system: Separate boilers optimize espresso brewing and steam production.
• Internal pump: Makes the GS3 ideal for the home.
• Dual PID (coffee and steam): Allows you to electronically control coffee and steam boiler temperature.
• Insulated boilers: Reduce energy consumption while contributing to temperature stability.
• Ruby flow restrictors: Synthetic ruby flow restrictors resist scale formation and erosion.
• Pre-heating system: Prior to entering into the coffee boiler, water is pre-heated – thus increasing productivity.
• Stainless steel portafilters & precision baskets: For improved cup quality and consistency.
• Digital display: Temperature display shot timers, flow pulse counter, and intuitive programming simplifies the adjustment of machine parameters.
• Performance touch steam wands: High-performing steam wands that are cool to the touch.
• Water reservoir: An integrated 3.5-liter water tank makes plumbing optional.
• Hot water economizer: Fine-tunes the temperature of the hot waterspout.
AV vs. MP:
The La Marzocco GS3 comes in two versions. The AV or Automatic version features volumetric functionality. This means you can set the volume of water you want to use for your espresso and the machine brews accordingly.
The MP or Manual Paddle version incorporates a paddle-based extraction system like the type you find on the Strada. Combined with a periscope-style pressure gauge, this allows you to manually pressure-profile your espresso. In other words, you can vary the brew time and the brew pressure during the extraction, to completely optimise your espresso!
