La Marzocco introduced the GS3 as a single-group machine for those interested in brewing espresso at home, but it’s also frequently purchased for low-volume commercial settings, like coffee carts and trucks. The GS3 features many of La Marzocco’s notable innovations, including volumetric capabilities, saturated group heads, and PID temperature control.

Noteable Features
Dual-Boiler System
Unlike some home espresso machines, the GS3 boasts a dual boiler that gives at-home baristas the ability to pull espresso and steam milk without deviations in quality, temperature, or pressure.
Plumbing Configurations
If desired, the GS3 can be plumbed directly into a water source, making it an option for small commercial opportunities as well. The 3.5-liter tank makes this optional, however.
Volumetric Capabilities
The GS3 is available in either MP (Manual Paddle) or AV (Automatic Volumetric) configurations. This allows home baristas to either dial in their workflow with volumetric programming or manually extract each shot.
PID Temperature Control
Home baristas can perfectly calibrate brewing temperature with the built-in PID temperature control and digital display. This feature also ensures thermal stability, shot after shot.
