Equipped with proprietary La Marzocco electronics and advanced temperature stability, the GB5 S EE (semi-automatic) combines classical European design with cutting edge performance. The machine has been modernized since its original release in 2005 and is an elegant companion to any coffee bar. The two red lilies on the side shields recall the company’s Florentine heritage, while partially exposed groups offer a streamlined barista working experience. The machine provides the barista control over boiler temperature, brewing volume, hot water tap dose, automatic cleaning cycles and more to keep high quality coffee flowing even during the busiest hours.

The La Marzocco GB5 S EE semi-automatic espresso machine is built for handling the highest volume cafes. It’s also built for those who prefer a more manual control over their shots. Unlike its sibling the GB5 S AV (auto-volumetric) the EE model starts and stops each shot at the barista’s time of choice with the simple press of a button above each group head. This allows the user to prioritize their workflow to their needs and specifications.  You’ll find a digital interface boiler temperatures and the pressure being applied at each group in real time. Powerful steam wands are controlled by rotary knobs at either side of the machine.

You’ll find all of the commercial features on the GB5 S EE that has made the name “La Marzocco” synonymous with quality and reliability over the last century. Dual boilers optimize espresso brewing and steam production while dual PIDs allow you to electronically control coffee and steam boiler temperatures. The Piero group caps maintain thermal stability at the group heads, and a quick, automatic back flush takes place each time the portafilter is removed, keeping the machine clean during peak hours. Lastly, ruby flow restrictors resist scale formation and erosion, extending your GB5 S’s internal integrity.
