The GB5 comes in two underlying platforms — Model S and Model X — differentiated by boiler system. The Model X uses independent boilers, giving each group its own dedicated thermal management; the Model S shares a boiler configuration across groups. If your bar runs at genuinely high, sustained volume across multiple stations, the independent-boiler Model X is worth the step up.

Key Features

CPU-controlled PID temperature management — Purpose-built for stability rather than adapted from an older analogue system.

Simple keypad temperature adjustment — Set brew boiler temperature precisely without removing panels or calling a technician.

Classic gracious curved design — Understated, timeless La Marzocco styling that suits any café aesthetic.

Model S and Model X platforms — Choose shared or independent boiler architecture based on your volume needs.

Choosing Between Versions

Available in 2 and 3 Group configurations, across both Model S and Model X boiler architectures, and in AV (automatic) or EE (semi-automatic) control versions. Choose Model X and AV for the highest-volume, most automated commercial service; choose Model S and EE if you want a simpler, more hands-on setup at a more accessible price.

Why Choose This Product

The GB5 suits the café or restaurant that wants proven La Marzocco temperature stability without the Strada's top-tier price point — a dependable, classically styled workhorse for a bar that needs to hold its consistency through every rush of the day.

Buying and Installation Notes

Confirm your available phase and voltage before ordering, and specify Model S or Model X, AV or EE, at time of order. Given the machine's weight and duty cycle, plan for direct plumbing into your water and drain lines.
