CoffeeKid - Goin' to Seattle, Francis! Francis! and Etching (#)
„Sanders came back so we spent some time chatting, then Aaron and I went over to La Marzocco where we managed to get Bill Crossland (plant manager) away from an off-site meeting, and back to the shop. I got some most excellent news from Bill on the new machine project that La Marzocco is considering, and I think 2003 and beyond may see some absolutely amazing things from La Marzocco. I can hardly wait!“

CoffeeKid - The Ultimate: La Marzocco
„The grouphead is actively heated. As mentioned in the previous point, the La Marzocco grouphead is an active-heat grouphead - a large volume of water flows through the La Marzocco grouphead directly from the brewing boiler. This is has serious advantages over heat exchanger machines that actively heat the grouphead because the grouphead is heated by brew temperature water, not steam temperature water. A La Marzocco grouphead is within 2 to 5 F of the boiler's internal water temperatures - very tight, but very right.“

CoffeeKid - La Marzocco Basket Confusion
„The single is also the best in its class - it is better designed and deeper than any other single I've seen. In fact, the vertical surface area for the ground coffee is as tall as the double basket - the single is in fact a taller overall basket because of the inline slope it has to conform with 58mm groupheads.“

CoffeeKid - More Adventures in CoffeeLand
„Bottom line on this machine? It's a genuine La Marzocco Linea, with the massive actively heated grouphead, brews near perfect shots in the hands of skilled technicians (so far I've had three championship calibre Baristi use the machine and they've gone nuts over it) and it steams like a banshee. The biggest workout it's gotten so far was a marathon 14 drink build session in about 20 minutes, and the machine never skipped a beat. There's something to be said about microfrothing 12 ounces of milk in 12 seconds.“

CoffeeKid - Changes, SCAA Boston, and La Marzocco
„Well, the time draws near, and this will probably be my last CoffeeKid CafeTalk before I hit the road on a trip that will eventually lead to Boston and the annual SCAA Trade Show and Conference . Jeanette and I leave next Thursday, very early AM, on a plane to Ottawa, so I can spend the Easter holiday with my Mom and family. The day after Easter Monday we hop the short haul flight to Boston M.A.“

CoffeeKid - Part Two: A long Coffee Road Discussed
„Plus, La Marzocco and their US distributor, Espresso Specialists really have set the bar in terms of supporting Barista competitions. Not only do they bend over backwards to make sure everything's right, but they informally allow Baristi to get some "face time" with machines prior to competitions, either at their showrooms, or their "satellite partners" showrooms. I remember going to ESI's Seattle office and seeing Dismas Smith (Zoka Coffee) training for the World's last year - getting a full day in ESI's showroom, allowed to do pretty much anything he wanted (with Jeff Babcock overseeing everything Dis was doing).“
