La Marzocco Jay
Freshly ground coffee, the moment just before extraction: the aroma rises, the powder falls loosely and evenly into the portafilter, and you can already tell that this espresso will be rich and aromatic.
What makes the Jay special
At its heart are 68mm flat burrs made of hardened steel. La Marzocco mounts them from the back and without screw holes in the cutting surface, at a 45-degree angle – this keeps retention low, so almost only freshly ground coffee ends up in the cup. The particles are consistent, and consistency is key to a clean extraction. The grind size is stepless, the dose programmable; approximately 18g are in the portafilter in about five seconds. Burrs are like car engines – subjective, there's no single best. That's our observation, others see it differently.
