La Marzocco GB 5 S Semi Automatic EE 3 Group
Overview:
The second-generation La Marzocco GB5 carries on the spirit of its predecessors: a machine rooted in classical European design coupled with cutting-edge performance. The new GB5 S features a revamped visual identity and modernizes the machine without sacrificing the look, premium feel, or dynamic elegance.
Two red lilies on side shields recall Florentine heritage, while the front panel has been redesigned to increase group visibility. the GB5 S is the first series of machines equipped with a water sensor that measures conductivity and hardness as it enters the machine; this information allows users to monitor water quality and verify filtration performance without the need for additional testing tools

My search for the best home-use doserless commercial grinder ended up between the Mazzer Mini and this La Marzocco . There’s so much information on forums and YouTube about the Mazzer Mini that it seems like there’s nothing close in comparison. Ultimately, what made me choose the La Marzocco was the availability of replacement parts, and the fact that IRead more about review stating Quality and Value couldn’t find anyone unhappy with it’s performance. After about a week of using this machine I have to say I am beyond happy, plus I got it for less than half the cost of a comparable polished aluminum doserless Mazzer Mini. In hindsight this is a no-brainer.

If you are considering a Vario (which I upgraded from) head straight for this grinder! The quality workmanship is like night and day for the same price point. On the other end, the La Marzocco is similar quality to the Mazzer Mini electronic for hundreds less.
Thanks HFC!

Have used this grinder since 2005. Have only once changed burrs. Keep it regularly cleaned. Expect it to last a lifetime.

I bought the La Marzocco at the same time I bought my office lever and the two work beautifully together. The mini has infinite grind settings with nice steps between settings. grinds consistently and most importantly quietly with no vibration. The doser is consistent and works well. Only real complaint is the difficulty to adjust the doser quantiRead more about review stating Quality Grinderty
