La Marzocco GB5 X AV 3-group – Multiboiler Espresso Machine for Cafes
The GB5 X is the next generation of the GB5 – the machine introduced in 2005 and named after «Giovanna Bambi». The 3-group version is built for high-volume cafes where many shots are pulled simultaneously throughout the day.
At Coffee Coaching Club, we are both La Marzocco partners and a coffee roastery – we provide support for configuration, installation, training, and service.
What makes the GB5 X stand out
The X-generation is IoT-ready – the electronics are prepared for connectivity and future functions. An integrated water sensor helps monitor coffee quality. Plus, the proven La Marzocco standards: multiboiler technology, saturated group heads for high temperature stability, and Pro-Touch steam wands that remain cool to the touch. AV stands for Auto-Volumetric: programmable shot volumes per group.

Installation, Delivery and Service
The machine comes from the factory without a plug. For professional on-site commissioning, we recommend the installation package and the descaling filter installation – both will be automatically added to your cart as soon as you add the machine. We will individually arrange availability and delivery with you after purchase. With every new coffee machine from CHF 1'500, a private barista introduction course of around 60 minutes is included – in Bern, Zurich or online, for up to two people from the same household or company attending together. The course must take place within one month of delivery; after that, the entitlement expires. Questions in advance via [email protected] or by phone during business hours; personal consultation in Bern and Zurich.
What goes with it
You can find the right grinder for cafe operations in the Mahlkönig assortment, and care products under machine and grinder cleaning. More La Marzocco can be found in the La Marzocco Collection.

With three groups in continuous operation, consistency is key – for water, grind, and bean. We advise on water treatment and, as a roastery, supply freshly roasted beans tailored to your business. Talk to us. This is one of our many recommendations.
