La Marzocco

Founded in 1927 by Giuseppe and Bruno Bambi, La Marzocco had its beginnings in Florence, Italy. La Marzocco has earned a world renown reputation for making beautiful, high quality, superbly crafted and uniquely designed espresso machines, with great attention to detail. Tradition and a passion in the search for quality and superior reliability are factors which have always distinguished and interested the entire company. Even today, highly specialized personnel supervise each stage in the production of every single machine, hand-crafted to order for each and every client. In this way, Giuseppe Bambi’s great experience and professional pride live on after over ninety years.

Linea BP

Designed by and named in recognition of Piero Bambi, the Linea PB was launched in the USA and London in the Spring of 2013.Visually the machine received a face-lift but retains its boxy, retro feel from the rear, but from the business end looks super modern, with an amber digital display, red button illumination and red pressure gauge. Reminiscent of the Linea Classic, the Linea PB features flexible, user-friendly, exclusive proprietary, interface software and related hardware ideated by La Marzocco. The Linea PB was the first update for the Linea line in almost 25 years and appropriately named after Linea’s head designer, Piero Bambi. This update features new electronics and improved component longevity for a sleek look that grants your office café's barista additional control through the machine’s interface. 

La Marzocco has spent the better part of a decade bringing this technology to market in a reliable way. With scales integrated into the drip trays of the Linea PB ABR, the office espresoo machine is capable of tracking shots by weight. Additionally, the machine can track the amount of ground coffee in the portafilter, and adjust the output for each shot, allowing for much more consistency than ever before. Shot defects are significantly mitigated when the exact brew ratio is followed, and the Linea PB ABR does it automatically.
