Talk to any professional barista about the name La Marzocco, and they’ll almost certainly refer to it as an industry standard. With professional quality coffee production and high-capacity capabilities, the La Marzocco Linea Commercial Espresso Machine will complete any coffee shop, ranging from a small specialty cafe to a large volume coffee house. This model comes in a variety of styles and sizes as well, making it easy to find just the right version for your cafe.

This Linea Semi-Automatic unit is perfect for a small to mid-sized cafe where things can get busy.

Don’t be intimidated by the term commercial. The Linea is no harder to operate than most home espresso machines. It just packs a more powerful punch.

Compare the different versions:

• Semi-Automatic (EE): This version is what you might commonly find in your typical coffee shop, where time and water quantity are all controlled by the barista during extraction. No need to worry about pressure profiles, as these machines will take care of that for you at a standard 9 bars.
• Auto-Volumetric (AV): This version will take a lot of the guess work out of your extraction variables by setting water quantity profiles that will keep everything much more consistent across the board. This sort of machine is considered quite a bit easier to use.
