Kia ora from Aotearoa

La Marzocco Local is headed to New Zealand for the very first time in 2026 and we’ll be headed to 4 different locations across the country.

You may be asking yourself what exactly is a La Marzocco Local?

La Marzocco Local is more than a brand event. It is a grassroots celebration of the coffee community.

It is a space where baristas, roasters, café owners, and coffee lovers come together to connect, share knowledge, and have some fun. Each Local brings its own character, offering a glimpse into the latest in espresso innovation alongside the heritage that defines La Marzocco.

Whether you are behind the machine or simply enjoying what is in the cup, La Marzocco Local is an open invitation to be part of the craft, the culture, and the conversation that shape specialty coffee.

Here’s what you can expect on the night:

  • Panel discussion all about equipment workflow and drink trends
  • A chance to get hands on with new innovations like the Jay Grinder
  • Exciting prizes, giveaways & surprises on the night
  • Delicious food & drink
  • A fun & relaxed barista competition

Mark your calendars:

📍 Christchurch — Tuesday 21 April
📍 Tauranga — Thursday 30 July
📍 Queenstown — Thursday 27 August
📍 Auckland — Thursday 15 October
