KB90 | 2 Group
List Price: $25,710
Noteable Features
Straight-In Locking Portafilters
Every barista understands the agony of the wrist, hand, and forearm pain that results from cranking portafilters into a group head day in and day out. The KB90 minimizes the likelihood of repetitive stress injuries with portafilters that insert straight into the group head, rather than from the side.
Auto Steam Flush
After each extraction, the KB90 automatically flushes each group head using steam and hot water to ensure that it is clean and ready for the next use. Baristas no longer have to manually purge group heads between shots, a practice that slows down their workflow. This functionality also reduces the possibility of coffee grounds accumulating around the group head.
Mass-Based Profiling
With built-in drip tray scales, baristas can put espresso extraction on autopilot, dialing in each shot based on mass, not time. La Marzocco’s ABR (Auto Brew Ratio) technology leverages the scales to ensure precision with each extraction.
Pro Touch Steam Wands
The KB90 boasts cool-touch steam wands for enhanced safety in high-volume cafes. Plus, the KB90’s steam wands feature La Marzocco’s latest “easy rebuild” innovation, allowing valves to be accessed from the front for seamless repair or maintenance.
