The GS3 in its AV (automatic volumetric) form is the closer sibling to a proper commercial machine, with programmable shot volumes and the workflow a cafe uses on a busy morning. It is La Marzocco's flagship home machine for a reason - dual saturated boilers, commercial group, full app connectivity. For a serious home bar or a small professional setting, this is the bar.
What we liked and didn't
Pros
- Commercial-grade saturated group and dual boilers
- Programmable volumetric dosing
- La Marzocco Home app integration
Cons
