DESCRIPTION |
BENEFIT |
| BOILERS |
| Two Boilers |
One high capacity boiler is
for brewing and the other is dedicated to milk steaming. |
Regardless of volume a two-boiler
machine insures accurately controlled brewing temperature for
every drink. More than ample steam is always available. |
| Stainless Steel |
Stainless steel is high quality,
expensive material that conducts heat well. |
Boiler won't change shape, corrode,
or flake. Less prone to scale build-up. |
| Steam Boiler Ball Valve |
Cuts off flow of steam to one
wand at a time. |
Eliminates down-time by enabling
repair on one side of machine while other wand is perfectly operational.
|
| SATURATED GROUPS |
Patented large, heavy, hollow
groups mounted on top of brewing boiler enabling one continuous
mass of water to extend up from boiler and into groups. |
A thermostatically controlled
brewing temperature and insurance of temperature stability in
high volume use |
| STEAM WAND |
| Quick Open & Close
(Spring-Loaded) |
Mechanical steam
valve activates a spring that pushes the valve away rather than
holding it open when steam knob is turned. |
Gaskets won't wear
out even when steam knob is heavily tightened & turned thousands
of times a day! Reduces physical strain from repetitive motion
affecting barista comfort. |
Custom-made
|
|
|
| Stainless Steel |
Stainless steel
doesn't break, bend, corrode or flake. Designed to last as long
as the machine itself. |
Long-term durability
saves money. |
| Omni-directional |
Fully articulated
to accommodate individual barista's working method. |
More sales and
profits are generated from barista's who can work efficiently.
|
| Anti-Siphon Valve |
Prevents milk from
being sucked into boiler when a vacuum occurs in steam wand. |
Milk in the boiler
is unsavory, foul smelling and expensive as boilers must be removed
and thoroughly cleaned. |
| AUTOMATIC WATER FILL SIGHT
GLASS |
Boiler water is automatically
kept at optimal volume through regular influx of water into boiler.
Water level can be viewed through sight glass. |
Two safety devices to prevent
the very costly problem of a boiler running dry. Auto fill also
keeps recovery time down so coffee can be served steadily and
efficiently. |
| AUTO DOSING
SYSTEM |
A microprocessor
driven programmable dosing system insures consistency in brewing
shots. |
Customer loyalty
is developed when they can count on the same excellent quality
always. |
| GICAR ELECTRONICS |
High-end Italian craftsmanship
is reflected in the more expensive electronics. |
Better materials mean more consistency
in all electronic functions, fewer problems and service costs. |
| NSF 4, UL 197 APPROVALS |
Health department regulations
and standards are already met so machine is ready for operation
at time of installation. |
Bureaucratic red tape with certificates
and documentation for health department approvals is completed
-- a significant time-saver during inspection process. |
| TALL LEGS |
With legs that are four inches
high, the La Marzocco is easy to clean under. |
Save time and awkward maneuvering
when cleaning under La Marzocco. Customers and health inspectors
will give a stamp of approval for clean counters. |
| BACK-UP & BY-PASS FEATURES |
Technicians can check and service
many of the primary functions of the machine without turning machine
off. |
Uninterrupted production means
no downtime and no loss of income -- an important consideration
in high volume settings. |
