La Marzocco GB5 X Commercial Espresso Machine (3 Group)

The three-group GB5 X is the GB5 with its brew architecture rebuilt. Same chassis and design language as the S — but instead of one shared coffee boiler feeding all three groups, each group gets its own independent 1.3 L saturated boiler with a dedicated 800 W element. Three coffees, three temperatures, simultaneously.

What the X gives you over the S

• Three independent saturated boilers: run a light single origin, a house blend and a decaf at three different brew temperatures at once. This is the machine that makes a genuine multi-roaster espresso programme workable.
• 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.
• Dimmable barista lights as standard across every configuration, not just AV and ABR as on the S.
• Piero group caps: re-engineered internal water path and repositioned flow meter for better dose accuracy and easier service.
• Dual PID with an 11 L steam boiler: enough steam for two 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 rather than volume.

Best suited to

High-volume multi-roaster cafés, roastery flagships, hotel and restaurant coffee programmes, and competition-minded bars wanting per-group temperature control in the GB5's silhouette.
