La Marzocco Linea Classic S AV Espresso Machine - Two Group / Three Group

A La Marzocco Linea Classic S in two or three group configurations, running on 220 V single phase with a 3.4-litre coffee boiler and 7-litre steam boiler at two groups, rising to 5 L and 11 L at three. Single-phase operation is the standout: a machine of this class usually demands three-phase, so this installs in sites where the electrical board would otherwise rule it out.

Who it suits

For cafes and hotel bars wanting La Marzocco build quality where three-phase power is unavailable or expensive to bring in. The large steam boiler sustains milk drinks through a rush. It remains a heavy machine at 59-73 kg, so the counter must be built to carry it regardless of the simpler electrical requirement.

Common questions

Two groups or three?
Group count sets throughput, not quality. Two groups suit a bar serving a steady flow; three are for sustained queues where two baristas work side by side. The three-group version is heavier, wider and draws more power, so the decision has to clear both the counter structure and the electrical supply before it is a coffee decision at all.

Does it really run on single phase?
Yes, 220 V single phase, which is unusual at this class and removes the three-phase requirement that often blocks installation.

Why is the steam boiler so much larger than the coffee boiler?
Steaming milk consumes far more energy and water volume than brewing. A 7 to 11 litre steam boiler is what sustains back-to-back milk drinks.

How heavy is it?
59 kg for two groups, 73 kg for three, before water. Confirm the counter can carry it.

Is the Classic S different from the standard Linea?
