In building the GS3, La Marzocco sought to take some of their most advanced technology and deliver it to the kitchens of everyday coffee enthusiasts. This is a machine for those who understand that customisation is key.

Thanks to the auto-volumetric control, you can regulate the pre-infusion cycle and set the volume of extracted coffee. Find a brew ratio that works for you and deliver it over and over again. You can customise temperature, pressure, steam, and pour duration, which is invaluable if you’re switching to a different roast or making coffee for a crowd. A saturated group combines with a digital PID controller to accelerate heat-up and ensure a stable temperature. The dual-boiler system is a saviour in high-volume settings, allowing you to steam milk while your shot is pouring. The GS3 will work in any kitchen, as you have the option to plumb it into your water supply or fill the 3.5-litre water reservoir. When you’ve finished brewing, run the auto clean function to back-flush the machine and guarantee a clean cup for the next user.

All things considered, the La Marzocco GS3 is about the closest you’ll get to using a commercial coffee machine at home.
