Since 2015, our mission at La Marzocco Home has been to provide professional equipment and education to the home barista. As a team, we’re constantly looking for ways to make brewing espresso at home more enjoyable, and sharing those techniques with the home barista community.
We’re excited to take that promise one step further. Introducing our all-new connected machine technology for the Linea Mini and GS3. This allows machine owners to connect to their machines via the new La Marzocco Home App.
Using the app, home baristas have the ability to engage with a variety of features on their machine, including:
– Remote ability to turn the machine on or off
– Creation of an on/off schedule
– Boiler temperature status and control
– Enabling and setting pre-brewing on/off times
– Machine Stats & Total Shot Counter
– Setting of auto-volumetrics on the GS3 by number of “pulses”
Available on App Store. Available on Google Play.
The app comes pre-loaded with tutorials and educational posts to dive even further into home espresso education.
All Linea Mini machines purchased new in Australia from October 2020 are automatically fitted with the board, however if you are already an owner of one of our home machines never fear, retro fit boards are available in order to make your machine connectable. Please contact us for more information regarding pricing and availability.
Gs3 AV with serial numbers starting with GS012995 and Gs3 MP with serial numbers starting with GS013010 come standard with the new connectable board.
All Gs3 with serial numbers prior to these will require the retro fit board, please contact us as above for more information.
The app is available for download today. Scroll below for links to download, instructions, and more information on the App’s features.
