The Linea PB is the first comprehensive update to La Marzocco's iconic Linea in nearly 25 years of production. It keeps the same legendary dual boilers, saturated group heads, thermal stability, and build quality as the Classic - and adds a front panel digital display, Eco Mode energy saving, auto-backflush, Piero Group Caps with integrated flowmeters, and optional integrated scales with Auto Brew Ratio (ABR). It is for operations that want the Linea's proven reliability with modern barista-focused controls and precision extraction capability.

Yes. The 2-group Linea PB is designed for specialty cafes and restaurants serving 150 to 300+ drinks per day. With two groups supporting two baristas working simultaneously, and dual boilers ensuring uncompromised temperature stability throughout continuous service, it handles high-volume espresso output without any performance degradation. It is one of the most capable commercial espresso machines available.

Auto Brew Ratio (ABR) is a weight-based extraction system. The barista sets a target output weight - for example, a 1:2 ratio for an 18g dose producing 36g of espresso - and the machine stops extraction automatically when that weight is reached, using integrated drip tray scales. This removes the need for a separate timer or manual stop, and significantly improves consistency across multiple baristas and busy shifts. The Linea PB is available in an ABR version with integrated scales. If precision extraction and consistent recipes across your team are a priority, the ABR version is worth the additional investment.

Yes. The Linea PB features a front panel digital display that gives baristas direct control over boiler temperatures, shot volumes, hot water tap dosing, and machine diagnostics without needing to remove panels or call an engineer. This is one of the key upgrades over the Linea Classic, which requires panel access for parameter adjustments.

Eco Mode automatically reduces the boiler temperatures to lower set-points during extended idle periods - for example, between the morning rush and lunchtime service. This reduces energy consumption without requiring any manual intervention. When service resumes, the machine returns to full operating temperature quickly. For cafes running long trading hours, Eco Mode delivers meaningful energy savings over the course of a year.

Yes. The Linea PB is a professional commercial espresso machine designed to be operated by a trained barista. It is not a self-serve machine. The digital display and modern controls make it more accessible than older commercial machines, but extracting consistently excellent espresso still requires barista skill, grinder calibration, and knowledge of extraction variables. For self-serve office coffee, Moyee's Jura bean-to-cup range - the W8, X10, GIGA X3c, and GIGA X8c - are the right choice.

Yes. The 2-group configuration means two baristas can pull shots simultaneously - one on each group - without any temperature compromise between them. The dual boilers and saturated group heads maintain independent thermal stability across both groups. This doubles throughput during peak service without requiring a larger machine footprint.

Yes. The Linea PB requires a direct mains cold water connection and a dedicated 220-240V power supply. Professional installation and plumbing is recommended and included in Moyee's Linea PB packages. A site visit before ordering is strongly recommended to confirm water connection, electrical supply, and machine placement.

Yes. La Marzocco offers custom RAL colour finishes, barista LED lighting, high legs for easier cleaning, tall cup trays for to-go service, and interior lighting. Firmware can be updated via USB as La Marzocco releases improvements. Mention any customisation requirements when requesting your business quote.

Yes. The Linea PB works with any freshly ground specialty coffee and is an ideal machine for Moyee's FairChain single origins and espresso blends - roasted at origin in Ethiopia and Kenya and designed for precision espresso extraction. The ABR version in particular pairs well with Moyee's single origins, where consistent brew ratio control is key to expressing the coffee's character. Moyee can recommend specific FairChain coffees suited to the Linea PB when you get in touch.

FairChain is Moyee's model of ethical trade that goes beyond Fairtrade. Rather than exporting raw green beans to be roasted in Europe, Moyee roasts and packages at origin in Ethiopia and Kenya - keeping the jobs, skills, and a greater share of the value in the country where the coffee was grown. Moyee pays farmers above the market floor and is B Corp certified with a score of 121.2. For cafes and hospitality businesses that want to serve world-class coffee with a credible and specific ethical story, FairChain is a genuine point of difference with your customers.
