La Marzocco FB80

Overview

The La Marzocco FB80 is the workhorse of the La Marzocco commercial lineup, designed for high-volume environments where reliability and consistency outweigh feature complexity. The dual boiler system with saturated group heads delivers the thermal stability La Marzocco is famous for, while the simplified interface focuses barista attention on craft rather than technology. The FB80's ergonomic design includes an elevated group head position that reduces barista strain during long shifts. Steam performance is outstanding, with powerful dry steam from dedicated nozzles. Available in 2-group and 3-group versions, the FB80 is the most common La Marzocco model found in commercial coffee shops globally, chosen for its balance of performance, reliability, and relative value within the La Marzocco range.

The La Marzocco FB80 comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a dual boiler boiler system made of copper with a 3500 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.
