KB90

La Marzocco

The KB90 is the ultimate evolution of the Linea PB form. Designed specifically to increase speed of service in the highest volume cafes while easier for the barista thanks to an improved workflow. La Marzocco has redesigned the portafilter system to improve workflow efficiency and to reduce the wrist strain of the user. Efficiency can also be increased thanks to Steam Flush: after each extraction, a burst of steam from the group head is followed by a flush of hot water, keeping the machine clean even in the busiest rush hours. This innovative function minimizes off flavored buildup, and increases the time between having to clean the group. The KB90 allows for a new level of expression in machine design, the panels have been engineered so that virtually infinite customization combination can be created.

KEY FEATURES

Straight In Portafilter System

Designed to simplify the motions required to engage the portafilter and reduce the strain by 12 times on the barista for even greater performance and everyday usability. High volume coffee environments demand that a barista can work fast and efficiently to produce drinks during busiest periods of the day. The Straight-In Portafilter can noticeably mitigate the repetitive stress injuries occurring through its ease of action improving the natural workflow and output of barista.
