Linea
Icon & Benchmark
Since its introduction more than twenty years ago (!), the Linea has become the industry standard by which all professional machines are judged. This ‘benchmark' still proves unsurpassable in situations demanding large quantities and a consistently high quality of coffee.
Designed for baristas
"You either love it or you hate it" - goes the phrase at La Marzocco's about the design of the Linea. Its appearance is determined by a small ‘footprint', from which the body of the machine tapers outward, housing two large boilers. This narrowly framed design does not intrude too much upon precious work space, at the same time providing maximum brewing capacity.
A functional outlook determined the design of the Linea. The many options available allow users to customize the machine to their own specific needs. Click here for a complete list of options.
Ergonomics, need we say more?
‘Fully-developed' is definitely an understatement, when applied to the Linea. This goes for the ‘dual boiler' technology, the heavy ‘saturated' groups and the state of the art electronic controls: technical qualities that enable almost perfect thermal stability. The Linea also sets the standard in ergonomic design. Just pick up a Linea filter bearer... need we say more? Technique and design in the Linea add up to a lot more than the sum of its parts. Allow any barista to cream milk just once, utilizing the almost unlimited steam capacity pushing through the omni-directional steampipe - Sold!
