La Marzocco GB5 S 2 Group
Traditional Espresso Machine
With a history dating back to 2005, the second generation La Marzocco GB5 carries on the spirit of the GB5 line: a machine rooted in classical European design, coupled with cutting edge performance.
The new GB5 S features a revamped visual identity which modernizes the machine without sacrificing the look, premium feel, or dynamic elegance. The two red lilies on the side shields recall the company’s Florentine heritage while the front panel has been redesigned to increase group visibility. The gracious lines and harmonious curves of the GB5 S speak to the La Marzocco heritage of design and intention. The understated side shields, elegant Florentine lilies, and subtle insignia of il marzocco on the cup rail, combine to give this machine the feel of an heirloom built to stand the test of time.

Frequently asked questions:
La Marzocco GB5 S 2 Group
What power supply does the La Marzocco GB5 S 2 Group need?
The La Marzocco GB5 S 2 Group requires a dedicated 20 amp circuit at 220/240V single phase, driving a 5133 Watt element. A standard 10 amp power point is not sufficient, so cafes fitting out a new site should have an electrician install a 20 amp outlet before delivery. Coffee NQ confirms electrical requirements before installation in Cairns and Far North Queensland.
How much bench space does a La Marzocco GB5 S 2 Group need?
How much bench space does a La Marzocco GB5 S 2 Group need?
What size are the boilers in the La Marzocco GB5 S 2 Group?
The La Marzocco GB5 S 2 Group uses a dual boiler system: a 3.4 litre coffee boiler and a 7 litre steam boiler, both insulated. The separate steam boiler means brew temperature is unaffected by milk steaming, so espresso stays consistent through back-to-back orders during a morning rush.
What is a saturated group head and does the GB5 S have them?
A saturated group head sits inside the coffee boiler’s water circuit, so the group body stays at brew temperature between shots instead of cooling down. The La Marzocco GB5 S 2 Group has two saturated groups with Piero group caps (AV/ABR), which is why extraction temperature is repeatable shot after shot.
What does dual PID mean on the La Marzocco GB5 S?
Dual PID on the La Marzocco GB5 S 2 Group means independent electronic temperature control over the coffee boiler and the steam boiler. A barista can set brew temperature to suit a specific roast while steam pressure is held separately, which single-PID machines cannot do.
Is the La Marzocco GB5 S or the Linea PB better for my cafe?
The La Marzocco GB5 S 2 Group and Linea PB 2 Group share 3.4 litre coffee and 7 litre steam boilers, dual PID and saturated groups; the difference is body and power. The GB5 S is 770 × 640 × 470mm, 70kg and 5133W, with Piero group caps and improved group visibility. The Linea PB is smaller at 750 × 590 × 533mm and 61kg, draws 4600W, and adds a 3 button interface for on-machine control of temperature, dose and auto-backflush. Both need a 20 amp supply. Choose the GB5 S for group visibility and presence on the bench; choose the Linea PB for a shallower footprint and more work area.
Who installs and services La Marzocco machines in Cairns?
Coffee NQ installs and services La Marzocco espresso machines, including the GB5 S 2 Group, across Cairns and Far North Queensland.

How much does a La Marzocco GB5 S 2 Group cost in Australia?
