LaMarzocco is an Italian manufacturer of espresso machines that have long been at the cutting edge of coffee machines. Especially after LaMarzocco invented the GS series of double-boiler machines in 1970, the brand coffee machine was widely used in boutique coffee shops. La Marzocco was founded in Florence, Italy in 1927 by two friends, Giuseppe and Bruno Bambi.

The History of La Marzocco

In 1927, Bambi Friends founded Officina Fratelli Bambi, which produces espresso machines. The company's earliest merchandise brand was Fiorenza (Florence). Soon after, the company began to choose the name "il Marzocco"(Florence lion, Marzocco is the symbol of Florence), together with this,"occupied lion and decorated with Florence lily shield"(representing success and surrender) picture became the company Logo.

On February 25, 1939, at Gluseppe Bambi's suggestion, La Marzocco produced the first espresso machine with a horizontal boiler, which made it possible to install multiple brewing heads and simplified the operation of the barista. After World War II, LaMarzocco distinguished itself from other coffee makers by its quality and agility.

In 1970, La Marzocco produced the world's first professional semi-automatic coffee machine with double boilers, called the "GS Series"(GS means GruppoSaturo-full brewing head).

The two main functions of the coffee machine are to make Italian coffee and milk, these two operations on the temperature requirements are not the same, the use of a boiler to meet the two temperature requirements together, which is bound to affect the stability of the machine itself temperature. So, in the GS series, the water cycle is divided into two separate systems, each with its own boiler. This separation is crucial for making high-quality coffee. Using this method,"sufficient steam can be generated stably at the requested temperature, together with absolutely no influence on the extraction water of espresso coffee, thus greatly enhancing the constant temperature performance of the machine."（LaMarzocco）。"GS" has been a success since it was launched in shopping malls and is still popular among the world's first class coffee shops.

In 2007 LaMarzocco designed a coffee machine for home shopping in the United States, the "GS/3", and espresso fans responded very well to the new model: the new model features professional brewing quality (stable temperature), and the body is small (1 group), using 110V voltage, which is the standard voltage in the United States, and then reducing the hassle of replacing the 220V connector.

From 2000 to 2008, LaMarzocco was the official sponsor of the International Barista Competition and the supplier of coffee machines for the competition.
