{"product_id":"la-marzocco-linea-pbx-commercial-espresso-machine-2-group","title":"La Marzocco Linea PBX Commercial Espresso Machine (2 Group)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFive years after the original Linea PB, La Marzocco rebuilt it. The \u003cstrong\u003eLinea PBX\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps the PB's footprint and service familiarity but changes the thing that matters most: instead of one shared coffee boiler feeding both groups, each group gets its own \u003cstrong\u003eindependent saturated boiler\u003c\/strong\u003e. Two groups, two brew temperatures, running side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the X actually changes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent saturated boilers:\u003c\/strong\u003e a dedicated 1.3 L brew boiler per group means you can run a light Ethiopian on group one at 94°C and a chocolatey blend on group two at 91°C, simultaneously, with no compromise on either. On a single-boiler machine that is simply not possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic preheater:\u003c\/strong\u003e incoming water is brought up to temperature before it reaches the brew boilers, which is what keeps the PBX steady at the peak of the morning rush rather than sagging as demand outruns recovery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro Touch steam wands as standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-performance wands that stay cool to the touch — fewer burns, and milk does not bake onto the wand between jugs. On the PB these are an upgrade; here they are fitted from the factory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarista lights as standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e integrated LED lighting on the group area so you can actually see the extraction and the cup. This is also the visual tell that distinguishes a PBX from a PB across a room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7 L steam boiler with dual PID:\u003c\/strong\u003e independent PID on the steam circuit alongside the per-group brew control, so steam pressure and brew temperature are set separately and hold separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigital display:\u003c\/strong\u003e temperature readout, shot timers and intuitive programming, with firmware updates over USB.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing your configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAV (Auto-Volumetric):\u003c\/strong\u003e programmable volumetric doses per group with flow-meter control. Every shot stops at the same yield regardless of who is on bar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABR (Auto Brew Ratio):\u003c\/strong\u003e adds precision scales built into the drip tray. Programme a brew ratio — say 1:2 — and the machine dispenses to reach that ratio by mass rather than volume. It removes the single largest source of shot-to-shot variance in a busy bar, and it is the reason most multi-roaster and competition-minded sites specify ABR.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest suited to\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialty cafés running more than one coffee on espresso, multi-roaster concepts, training academies, and any bar that has outgrown a single brew temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSmartSteam is available as an option, adding a temperature sensor to the steam wand that cuts pressure automatically at your target milk temperature.
