The arrival of our new coffee machine, the La Marzocco FB/70, was met with great excitement! We call it our "Ferrari" coffee machine due to it's sleek looks, red finish and general "sexiness". The coffee machine was a welcome addition to The Entrance Lake House marking an important milestone in our renovations. It was like all our Christmas's and Birthday's rolled into one!
The picture to the right shows Owner Maila and our new Chief Barista Jay giving it a test run. We will need to make many a cup of coffee for the machine to be "broken in" before serving coffee to all our amazing customers.
The impressive dimensions of the machine:
Dimensions: 1090mm x 660mm x 485mm
Weight: 74 kg
Phase: Single Phase
Weight: 74kgs
- Dual-boiler technology and saturated brewing groups
- Stainless steel boilers & brewing groups
- Omni-directional (points in all directions) stainless steel steam wands
- Sight glass for water level monitoring of steam boiler
"Saturated" brew group is a fancy term for having as much of the portion of the group nearest to the portafilter as possible filled with hot water.
"You can learn to technique, but you can only develop passion through Dedication, love, pride and respect in your work" - Piero Bambi, La Marzocco machine manufacturer.
When choosing this machine we consulted with RoastWorx, our coffee bean supplier. Using high quality coffee beans is one thing, but the machine has to do justice to the bean's superiour quality! The fact that it is so sexy is just a bonus and it's sleek design will be a focal point for all coffee lovers when we open in 4 short days.
