La Marzocco raised rear foot GB5 and FB80 – standing firm at the back again
A two-group machine puts a lot of weight on a small footprint. At the back, where nobody looks, the foot quietly carries its share – until it doesn't. Then you hear a faint click when knocking out, the cover sits slightly askew, and the drip tray only drains on one side.
This raised foot replaces exactly the rear piece on the GB5 and FB80. You get a single piece, so you don't have to swap the whole set when only one has suffered.
When it's due
The machine wobbles at the back or can no longer be levelled. The thread no longer engages cleanly and the foot spins freely. After transport, the contact surface is warped or the surface at the edge is worn through.

Who it's for
For businesses running a GB5 or FB80 on raised feet that want to replace a single damaged foot, and for workshops that need to level a machine properly again after a move.
What goes with it
Need all four at once? Go for the set of raised feet for GB5 and FB80. For the front position we carry the raised foot Linea Classic and GB5 X, which goes with the cover plate above the foot. You'll find more parts in the spare parts overview and under La Marzocco accessories and spare parts.
Workshop tip from Bern and Zurich
After swapping a foot, we never set a GB5 fully down straight away; we let it rest briefly on a wooden block and only tighten the threads once all four feet stick out the same distance. That's our routine from Bern and Zurich, not a manufacturer requirement. The test shot afterwards tastes best to us with the Nutty Delight Blend, the Cozy Chocolate Natural or, for more punch in the cup, the Very Nutty Robusta. You'll find them all under Coffee beans.
Returns excluded
Spare parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are sourced specifically for each order and cannot be resold once they have been installed or test-fitted on a machine. So before ordering, check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or drop us a quick message and we'll confirm the fit together. Your rights in the case of defective goods remain unaffected.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get one foot or a set?
A single piece. If you need several, order the corresponding quantity or go straight for the set.
Is this the front or the rear foot?
The rear one. The front position uses a different part on these machines.
Does it fit a GB5 X?
It is listed for the GB5 and FB80. Send us the serial number and we'll check the fit for your version.
Do I need tools for this?
The machine has to be lifted and secured for the swap. It's much safer with two people or with a lifting aid.
Can I see the part at your place?
Yes. Come to our showroom in Bern at Gerberngasse 44 or in Zurich at Hagenholzstrasse 50b, and we'll take a look at it together.
