La Marzocco GB5 X Commercial Espresso Machine (4 Group)

The four-group GB5 X is the top of La Marzocco's GB5 range: four saturated groups, a 15 L steam boiler and the full X feature package, in a 121 cm chassis built for the highest-throughput sites.

What the X gives you over the S

• Pro Touch steam wands as standard: high-performance wands that stay cool to the touch. A special-order upgrade on the S; fitted from the factory here — which matters most on a four-group bar where wands are in near-constant use.
• Dimmable barista lights as standard across every configuration.
• Piero group caps: re-engineered internal water path and repositioned flow meter for better dose accuracy and easier service.
• Dual PID with a 15 L steam boiler: steam capacity for three or more baristas on milk continuously, with independent PID so steam pressure and brew temperature hold separately.
• Hot water economizer, easy-rebuild steam valve, 24 V electronics, Eco mode, USB firmware and Pro App connectivity.

Choosing your configuration

• AV (Auto-Volumetric): programmable volumetric doses per group with Piero group caps and flow-meter control.
• ABR (Auto Brew Ratio): adds precision drip-tray scales with Drip Prediction technology, dispensing to a programmed brew ratio by mass. At four groups with rotating staff, this is where consistency is won.

Best suited to

Stadiums, airports and transit hubs, large hotel and conference venues, and flagship cafés running four baristas through a sustained peak.

The four-group uses a 2 × 3.4 L coffee boiler arrangement rather than one boiler per group. If per-group temperature control is essential to your build, ask us about the two- and three-group models. Contact us to confirm current lead time.
