If you've ever been to a specialty coffee bar, you've seen this brand: La Marzocco. With its distinctive design, dual pressure gauges, and incredible steam power, it's the go-to brand for professional baristas. But did you know you can now use a La Marzocco at home? With La Marzocco, you can turn your home into a coffee bar.
At FREKKO, we're a dealer for the La Marzocco Linea Mini R and GS3. Both machines were designed to serve the home barista market as La Marzocco.
What makes La Marzocco so special?
La Marzocco was founded in 1927 in Florence, Italy. The brand was the first to introduce the horizontal boiler design and separate groups, both of which are now standard in professional espresso machines. Now, these components of a professional machine can be found in your home, and at FREKKO, we know that having one at home will drive people crazy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Isn't a La Marzocco 'overkill' for home use?
Certainly not. La Marzocco has created special home models that are a convenient size and easy to operate as a home barista.
Can I make latte art?
Absolutely. Perhaps one of the best latte art steamers. The steam power of both models creates microfoam like you'd find in a specialty coffee bar.
What is the difference between ECM and AVX?
La Marzocco is a class above the rest in terms of steam, finish, and barista-friendly flow. Because the brand is focused on the hospitality industry, they've adapted this technology for home use. This is also what you pay for.
