All about the La Marzocco GB5 X – A boiler per group
On the GB5 X, every group has its own 1.3 liter saturated coffee boiler, so each group can run at its own brew temperature: a house blend on one, a lightly roasted single origin on the next. Pro Touch steam wands that stay cool to the touch are standard, and a dynamic pre-heater and hot water economizer keep temperatures steady when the bar is busy.
Which La Marzocco fits your needs?
The GB5 X comes with 2 or 3 groups, as AV (programmable doses) or ABR (scales in the drip tray). High legs, a cup warmer and RAL colors are special-order options. Tell us your peak volume and how many coffees you serve, and we help you choose.

Reviews
La Marzocco GB5 X: our review
In the full review we look at how the GB5 X differs from the GB5 S and what the separate group boilers change behind a busy bar.
Frequently asked questions
GB5 X or GB5 S?
Choose the GB5 X if you want a separate temperature per group or Pro Touch steam wands as standard. The GB5 S shares one coffee boiler between the groups.
Which electrical connection does it need?
La Marzocco builds it for 200 V single phase, 220 V single or three phase and 380 V three phase, up to 5,670 W (2 groups) or 7,785 W (3 groups). Have your electrician check the connection before installation.
Can each group really run a different temperature?
Yes: each group has its own boiler and temperature control.
AV or ABR?
AV stops the shot at a programmed volume. ABR has scales in the drip tray and stops on weight; useful when several baristas work the bar.
Which sizes can I order on this page?
This page lists the GB5 X with 2 or 3 groups. Options such as legs, color, scales (ABR) or another voltage go through a quote.
What does OR include with the machine?
12 kg of OR specialty coffee for espresso, a Full Barista Training for two people from your team at OR Academy, and full installation of the machine with OR coffee beans.
