Technical specifications

Paddle (MP)

Manual pre-infusion

The new mechanical paddle, redesigned and

improved, is composed of a specific valve

assembled inside the group head and connected

to an external lever, or “paddle”. This latter

component is activated by the barista to manually

and simultaneously preinfuse ground coffee with

hot water.

La Marzocco, through technology that grants

tailor-made pre-infusion, strives to give back the

direct control and manual feel of brewing espresso

coffee to the barista, in an aim for excellence not

readily found anywhere else.

Results that match the traditional “lever” machine, without the exertion!

With La Marzocco‘s mechanical paddle, the barista is able to personalize espresso in the cup

• pre-infusion under water supply network pressure through shift of the mechanical valve inside the group head

• pre-infusion under water supply network pressure simultaneously on all groups, even with the pump turned on

• manual regulation of water flow on the coffee panel

Options

• Foot activated steam system
• Portaflon™ coated portafilters
