La Marzocco Pico Rebuild Kit Drive Belt – Genuine Spare Part
Between the Pico's brushless induction motor and its conical burrs lies a short but decisive stretch: a drive belt that transmits the power. When it runs taut and clean, the motor's full, quiet power reaches the burrs directly.
Over time, every belt stretches slightly and loses tension. The symptoms usually creep in gradually: a slight slip on start-up, an unfamiliar sound, or a dose per shot that's no longer quite as consistent as before. The rebuild kit brings the belt and its related wear parts back to factory level.
Why a stable belt means consistent shots
The Pico is built for an 18-gram shot in under ten seconds – and for that, power transmission from motor to burrs has to stay constant, shot after shot. A stretched or worn belt causes small fluctuations in rotation speed, which can eventually show up as differences in the grounds, even when grind size and dose stay the same.

The roastery tip
A grinder that's running steady and quiet again deserves a coffee with substance too. Our main recommendation: Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, dense, aromatic, full-bodied. For maximum body with no acidity at all: Very Nutty. For anyone wanting to discover a fruity experience: Wild Peach, lively and always a discovery. Our recommendation from the roastery, one of many.
