The original part for older GS3 MP machines, when the new version doesn't fit
La Marzocco has changed details of the GS3 MP over the years. This cover cap is the version for the older machines – anyone who looks after a GS3 from the first generations knows the problem of a currently listed part suddenly no longer fitting.
The cap is visible on the group. It covers, keeps ground coffee out and is visually part of the group head. If it is broken or missing, it is immediately noticeable on a machine in this price range. Part number F.1.020.
When it's time
A replacement is due if:
- the existing cap is cracked or broken,
- it was lost during the last service,
- a newer version was ordered and doesn't sit on your machine,
- the plastic has become brittle and gives when you touch it.

Who it's for
For owners of older GS3 MP machines and for workshops that maintain such machines. Because the cap comes in two versions, the serial number is really helpful here: send it to us and we'll tell you which version is fitted to your machine before you order.
What goes with it
The other parts for the machine are listed under La Marzocco GS3 spare parts, the brand's full range under La Marzocco accessories and spare parts. You'll find all service parts under Service parts and spare parts, care products under Machine and grinder cleaning.
From our workshop in Bern and Zurich
On older GS3 machines, we photograph every cap in its place before disassembly. It sounds excessive, but it saves time during reassembly – and when reordering you know which version you had in front of you. This is our routine, not a manufacturer requirement. Afterwards we warm up the machine with two shots, usually with Nutty Delight, sometimes with Cozy Chocolate or Very Nutty. More under Coffee beans.
Returns excluded
Service parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are procured specifically for each order and cannot be resold after installation or a test fitting on the machine. So before ordering, check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or drop us a line and we'll clarify the fit together. Your rights in the case of defective goods remain unaffected.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether I need the old or the new version?
By the serial number of your GS3. Send it to us and we'll check before you order.
Does the part also fit the GS3 AV?
We list it for the MP version. If you have an AV, drop us a line and we'll clarify it.
Why is a plastic cap so expensive?
It is an original part for a version being phased out. Such parts are made in small batches, which is reflected in the price.
What is the part number of this part?
F.1.020. If you have this number from a service document, you're in the right place.
Can I pick up the part at the showroom?
Yes. We are in Bern at Gerberngasse 44 and in Zurich at Hagenholzstrasse 50b. Drop us a line and we'll have it ready for you.
