Brand New La Marzocco FB70 2014 Model Coffee Machine

Saturated brewing groups and dual-boiler technology, in stainless steel, handmade in Florence. Thousands were built and sold worldwide, and the FB70 helped launch a great many of the independent bars that went on to define specialty coffee. A refurbished one is a way into that lineage at a fraction of current pricing.

What makes it worth having

Being straight about the age

The FB70 predates PID temperature control, which entered the La Marzocco range with the GB5 in 2005. Many FB70s in circulation have since been retrofitted with twin PID controllers and pre-heater assemblies, but that is a modification rather than a factory specification — so it is worth asking whether this unit has been. Everything else here is genuinely of the platform: the saturated groups, the dual boilers and the stainless construction are all original design, not compromises.

New old stock

An unused machine that has simply never been sold. On a platform this mechanically straightforward, sitting unused does not age a machine the way years of service would — what you get is the whole of its working life still ahead of it, at a price no current flagship comes close to.

Before ordering, check the terms that apply — our Shipping, Returns & Warranty page sets out what cover applies, and it differs between new and used equipment.

Who it suits

• Bars and cafes wanting a machine that is visibly the centrepiece of the counter
• Operators who would rather buy mechanical longevity than electronic features
• Fit-outs where the budget will not stretch to a current flagship
• Roasteries and venues with a technician they already trust

Specifications

Water and grinder

On a machine of this age water treatment is not optional, it is the difference between decades more service and an expensive descale. Fit filtration or softening suited to your local supply and keep to a replacement schedule.

Pair it with a grinder that holds a setting through service. Our commercial coffee grinders range covers the options, and the wider commercial coffee machines collection is there if you are still comparing platforms.

Ordering

Freight is calculated at checkout, and our Shipping, Returns & Warranty page covers delivery and returns terms. For questions on group count, what the refurbishment covered, or whether PID has been fitted, contact our team, or see our finance options if you would rather spread the cost.
