Overview
The La Marzocco GS3 AV (Auto-Volumetric) represents the pinnacle of home espresso technology, essentially placing a full commercial-grade machine on your kitchen counter. The AV variant features automatic volumetric dosing — program your shot volume once, and the machine delivers it consistently every time. The dual boiler architecture with a saturated group head provides unmatched thermal stability, with the brew boiler integrated into the group for zero temperature fluctuation during extraction. The massive 3.5-liter steam boiler produces endless, powerful steam suitable for back-to-back milk drinks. Flow control capability allows advanced baristas to manipulate flow rate during the shot for enhanced flavor profiles. The GS3 AV uses a whisper-quiet rotary pump and can be plumbed directly into your water line or run from the built-in reservoir. Digital PID temperature control provides precision to 0.1 degrees, and the machine features a built-in shot timer. With its polished stainless steel chassis, the GS3 is as beautiful as it is capable — a genuine commercial machine adapted for home use without any compromise in build quality or performance.
The La Marzocco GS3 AV comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction, flow control for barista-level precision. It features a dual boiler boiler system made of stainless steel with a 350 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.
Priced at $7,500, the La Marzocco GS3 AV is designed for passionate enthusiasts and semi-commercial users who accept nothing but the best. The dual boiler design allows simultaneous brewing and steaming, making it ideal for milk-based drinks without any wait time.
