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.“

„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 - 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 - Goin' to Seattle, Francis! Francis! and Etching
„We went back to Hines after 2 hours at the LM plant (where we saw lots of their goodies - one good news item - they've finally gone to production on the welded groupheads - it looks like leaking LM grouphead problems are a thing of the past), and hooked up again with John Sanders and Bronwen Serna. Much more discussion on all things coffee, from the shift from the USBC judging form and style (4 judges) to the WBC judging forms and style (7 judges) for the upcoming Canadian Barista Championship . I'm psyched. Sanders even let me run a batch through his Probat roaster, so if you're drinking some Ethiopian Harar at the shop in the next few days, that's from me to you :)“

CoffeeKid - Adventures in CoffeeLand!
„New Machines Some new machines arrived recently (besides the La Marzocco machine) because they were "reserved" some time ago (side note: I have a moratorium in effect in accepting new equipment for review on CoffeeGeek, until I can clear the backlog somewhat). Two of the machines are super autos: the Capresso S9 and the as yet not for sale Capresso F7. I've actually been really impressed with the S9. It needed some serious tweaking and understanding of how espresso is made to get the most out of it, but it's a dual boiler (actually stainless steel thermoblock) machine, meaning it can brew and steam at the same time.“

Virtual Coffee - The Hottest Online Coffee Zine!
„The relationship began in 1978, and it has made La Marzocco the leading high volume espresso machine in the U.S. La Marzoccos can be found in singlelocation destination espresso bars and industry leaders, including four of the U.S.’s top five specialty coffee retailers. (The fifth member of that group has a growing number of Franke machines.)“
