Like the GB5, a dynamic preheater assembly ensures
that water entering the coffee boiler is at precisely
170° F. 170° F water replaces hot water exiting the
group, reducing temperature swings in the coffee
boiler. An algorithm-based PID temperature controller
further reduces temperature uctuation in the coffee
boiler. A group cap designed by Piero Bambi and an
integrated ruby ow restrictor reduces channeling and
ensures that water never leaves the saturated area of
the coffee boiler; this eliminates the introduction of
temperature instability during the brewing process.
North America FB80 Features and Specications
Mechanical Paddle
The mechanical paddle is inspired by the original mechanical group used on the
La Marzocco GS – the rst dual-boiler espresso machine with saturated groups
(1970). This valve system enables the barista to saturate the coffee with low
pressure (line pressure) water before applying the full 9 bars of pressure. While
more complex, this dynamic system allows the barista to control the variable of

pre-infusion and reduce channeling for a more balanced extraction.
Dual Boilers
Separate boilers optimize espresso
brewing and steam production.
Saturated Groups
Ensure unsurpassed thermal stability,
shot after shot.
Digital Display
Intuitive programming makes it easy to
adjust machine parameters.
Hot Water Economizer
Enables you to ne-tune the tap water
temperature for rinsing.
Dual PID (coffee & steam)
Allows you to electronically control
coffee & steam boiler temperatures.
Thermal Stability System
As water passes through each element,
temperature is further stabilized.
Barista Lights
LED lighting allows you to focus on
your extraction and the cup.
Personalized Color*
Customizable colors based on the RAL
color system on request.
