la marzocco new zealand

company profile

Founded in 1927 by Giuseppe and Bruno Bambi, La Marzocco had its beginnings in Florence, Italy, birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and home to such geniuses as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Brunelleschi who created some of the most celebrated works of art in the world. It seems only fitting that La Marzocco would earn a world-renowned reputation for making beautiful, high quality, superbly crafted and uniquely designed espresso machines, with great attention to detail. We established our New Zealand office in back 2014. La Marzocco prides itself in a strong company culture, which — while remaining anchored to our heritage — encourages the pursuit of quality, excellence, and innovation through a trusting family atmosphere.

committed to diversity, equity and inclusion

We love espresso and our craft, but we love people more. We support all people and believe in their basic rights to feel valued. We believe that coffee should be the catalyst for self-expression, open conversation and community building.

a registered safe space

Our La Marzocco New Zealand showroom, workshop and events are all safe spaces. A safe space is a space where the LGBTQI+ community can freely express themselves without fear.

The facility

The showroom and technical workshop are located in Parnell, an Auckland suburb in the central city. The workshop is where we thoroughly bench test each and every machine that arrives from our factory in Florence. It’s also where we carry out our refurbishment work. We stock and ship all our La Marzocco genuine spare parts from here. You’re welcome to stop in and pick up your order during business hours, or we’ll ship to you.
