Linea PB
a comprehensive update to the technical and stylistic workings of an industry icon.
The Linea PB, designed by and named in recognition of Piero Bambi, introduces a new level of performance, reliability, and craftsmanship. It features the iconic La Marzocco polished stainless steel body, updated with simplified lines and a lower profile, equipped with exclusive, user friendly interface software that gives the barista direct functional control over boiler temperature, brewing volume, hot water tap dose, auto-back flush as well as other options. The PB’s lower profile and increased work area also make it practical, without abandoning world renown Italian design.
Highlights
advanced electronics and digital display
Temperature display, shot timers, flow pulse counter and intuitive programming simplifies the adjustment of machine parameters.
optional scales (abr)
With integrated scales in the drip tray, the Linea PB ABR lets baristas brew by volume, mass, or brew ratio to suit their workflow. In Mass mode baristas program a preferred weight in the finished cup and the machine stops automatically, removing the need to place an additional scale on top of the drip tray. Auto-Brew Ratio works by programming in a given ratio and letting the machine dispense the appropriate water to reach the given ratio.
eco mode
The Linea PB can be programmed to enter stand-by mode when not in use, reducing boiler temperatures to lower set-points and improving energy efficiency.
