They have pioneered much of the technology out there, and also created some of the most iconic designs. They have achieved the impressive feat of being known for reliability and quality, all while leading the charge on the newest features for baristas to use in the pursuit of that perfect extraction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the La Marzocco GB5 commercial espresso machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Marzocco's most recognisable design may be the clean contemporary lines of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/la-marzocco\/products\/la-marzocco-linea-classic-espresso-machine\" title=\"Learn more about the Linea Classic\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLa Marzocco Linea\u003c\/a\u003e but with the GB5, they offer something more nostalgic for the lovers of vintage aesthetics. Equally iconic in its looks, the GB5 is no less impressive in its engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original GB5 was one of the first commercial espresso machines to fully exploit onboard CPU control. It also featured dual PID systems and insulated boilers, providing unrivalled temperature stability and ensuring a high level of consistency during even the busiest rushes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSouth African coffee lovers may recognise the GB5 as the machine found in every Woolworths café across the country. This should speak volumes about the consistency and capacity of these machines, given the number of people those cafés serve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the new La Marzocco GB5\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original GB5 has now been retired after a couple of decades of great service and has been replaced by this, new La Marzocco GB5. With the same vintage European aesthetics, albeit with some more contemporary touches, it is designed to stand out visually and also incorporates all the latest technology under the hood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the important features of the original GB5 also remain, but one significant upgrade is the onboard water sensor that measures the conductivity and hardness of water as it enters the machine. This information allows the user to monitor water quality and verify filtration performance without the need for additional testing tools. As water quality becomes increasingly challenging and is also recognised as an incredibly important component of high-quality coffee service, this feature should serve high-end cafes very well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLa Marzocco GB5 Model S vs Model X\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main difference between the 2 new GB5 models is the brew boiler configuration. The GB5 X has independent brew boilers for each group head and a separate steam boiler shared by all groups. The GB5 S has one brew boiler and one steam boiler, much like the older version. What the X offers is the option of having different groups making coffees at different temperatures, as well as even more precise temperature control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GB5 S can be identified with the two red lilies on the side shields recall the company’s Florentine heritage while the front panel has been redesigned to increase group visibility. The GB5 X can be identified by the white logos and lilies; it combines advanced La Marzocco proprietary electronics with the industry-leading temperature stability and hydraulic systems to always ensure maximum consistency. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLa Marzocco GB5 EE vs. AV vs. ABR\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe La Marzocco GB5 S \u0026amp;
