In the world of commercial espresso, there is no bigger name than La Marzocco. Trusted by some of the best cafes around the world and in South Africa, when you walk into a cafe and see a La Marcozzo espresso machine on the counter, you know that the proprietors of the establishment take coffee seriously.

The Linea Classic is one of La Marzocco's most iconic designs. Its clean lines are as recognisable from behind the machine as in front. It's a more affordable entry point to La Marzocco quality and, even more importantly, it's incredibly reliable and consistent, ensuring your customers are served coffees of the very highest standard.
