La Marzocco GB 5 X Auto Brew Ratio ABR 3 Group
Overview:
With its traditional European design, the GB5 X is ideally suited for the type of application where classic aesthetics and high performance are desired simultaneously. The GB5 X can be identified with the white logos and lilies, combining advanced proprietary La Marzocco electronics with industry-leading temperature stability and hydraulic systems to guarantee maximum consistency. It has independent boilers that enable different brewing temperatures on each group, as well as a hot water economizer for adjusting the temperature of the water, as well as a dynamic pre-heater for unmatched temperature stability.
In its ABR configuration, the GB5 X includes La Marzocco’s patented scale technology. It is the first series of La Marzocco machines equipped with a water sensor that measures the conductivity and hardness of water as it enters the machine. The information allows the user to monitor water quality and verify filtration performance without having to purchase additional testing equipment.

Bought a La Marzocco earlier this year after checking many reviews, forums, videos on competing espresso grinders at similar price point and I kept coming back to the La Marzocco, few reasons, huge burr size, its fast and quiet and not to forget the amazing particle size distribution of the coffee grinds and repeatability after you dial it in. DoesnRead more about review stating Nothing beats it for grind consistency’t loose grind settings when you open it up and cleaning is easy. This complements my HX exchanger (profitec pro 500) every day! Thanks to the team at HFC for the amazing product videos, customer service and repair wikis!

I have only this grinder for a week or two now but so far its fantastic. I have had the best espresso’s I have made at home yet since purchasing this grinder. I am sure that is in part due to the grinder and also a new higher end roaster as well I purchased in the same time frame. Either way the grind is perfect, will never need another grinder agRead more about review stating Very happy so farain, I am sure of that.

For fine, espresso-type grinds, the La Marzocco is about a close to perfection as you can ask for. Remarkably consistent ground size, makes for amazing espresso beverages!

This grinder is amazing. Perfectly uniformity of grind with zero clumping. And almost too fast. Love it!

Purchased this grinder for a small coffee shop. It works perfectly! 4 years without requiring any maintenance besides? normal cleaning! So easy to use and so consistent. Great espressos require a great grinder, and this is it!
Absolutely recommended for commercial use! Also beautiful and quiet.
Great machine for the price!
