La Marzocco GS3 AV

The La Marzocco GS3 AV is the third iteration from the GS series, which stands for grupo saturado or saturated brew group. The AV in the name stands for Auto-Volumetrics, which we will explain later. The GS3 AV is an amazing machine that is the closest to a home machine and a commercial machine and delivers professional-grade performance to coffee enthusiasts.

Size and Design
The GS3 AV boasts a sophisticated yet compact design, seamlessly blending into modern kitchens. With its stainless steel body and iconic La Marzocco aesthetic, it's not just an espresso machine; it's a statement of style. This beautiful machine will stilll take up quite some space with its 8.5 L divided between the boilers and water tank. If you need a smaller coffee machine we recommend checking out the Linea Mini or Micra.

Dual stainless steel boilers
The GS3 AV is equipped with 2 temperature-controlled stainless steel boilers, so it doesn't only work perfectly for at home, but also for commercial businesses. With these boilers, every espresso will be at the same temperature as the last. the GS3 AV ensures optimal temperature stability for both brewing and steaming. This allows for simultaneous brewing and milk frothing, ideal for those who savor a variety of espresso-based drinks. 

Saturated brew group 
The GS3 AV features a state-of-the-art saturated brew system that assures first class coffee shots. The saturated group head on the GS3 AV delivers precise extraction that is consistent with water flow across the group and a better temperature. This machine promises a flavorful and aromatic cup every time.

Auto-Volumetrics
As previously mentioned, the AV in the name GS3 AV stands for Auto-Volumetrics which means it has programmable dosing buttons. These buttons allow you to set and program the desired water volume for your espresso shots. The machine will then automatically dispense the pre-set amount of water, providing consistency in your espresso brewing process.

Paddle
The paddle on this machine gradually releases pressure as you start turning it. This will give you the choice on how much pressure you want to release at any point of the coffee extraction. This means you are able to personalize your coffee shot into great detail. You choose the pre-infusion and extraction time. 

PID Controller 
With a built-in PID controller, the GS3 AV allows you to fine-tune the temperature, ensuring that your espresso is brewed at the perfect heat. This level of control is a game-changer for enthusiasts who appreciate the nuances of extraction.

Rotary vane pump
The GS3 AV comes equipped with a rotary vane pump, combined with an upgraded vibration-damping design. This means that the GS3 AV is exceptionally quiet. You can also connect with direct plumbing if you don't want to use the 3.5 L water tank.

Steam Wand
Thanks to the large steam boiler, the right amount of pressure is released every time you use the performance touch steam wand to froth milk. This no-burn steam wand will steam your milk perfectly every time. This way you'll be able to craft silky microfoam for lattes or cappuccinos, achieving café-quality results in the comfort of your home. This steam wand is more in line with the wand on the professional La Marzocco Strada, so it has a lot of power. You can also adjust the boiler temperature to adjust the pressure and make it more or less powerful.

App Integration
Experience the convenience of modern technology with app integration. The GS3 AV can be seamlessly connected to the La Marzocco Home app, allowing you to control and monitor your espresso machine remotely. This feature enhances your customization options and provides real-time insights into your brewing sessions.
