We get asked this common question allot, what’s the difference between linea classic and linea PB so we’ve decided to write a quick guide explaining this.
The La Marzocco Linea classic model is well known model recognisable by it’s distintive shape and colour, striaghtlined boxed shape.
From a customers propective the machines looks very similar in design with the exception of finish. The Linea PB has a mirror finish and the Linea Classic has a brushed metal finish.
Linea Classic
- Volumetric control pad
- Manual button to work with as a barista if volumetric pads fail. Coffee can always be made minimising machine failure potential for café owners.
- Fully saturated group head for excellent temperature control.
The Linea PB
- Volumetrics are now operated by 3 backlit buttons giving you 4 programmed shot volume options.
- Digital interface gives the barista easier access to the programing funtions of volumetrics and temperature control.
- Group head: The pierro cap allows for a shorter distance of water travel through the group head, this shorter distance enables an even, fine-tuned water temperature control so that the recovery is even better.
We’ve outlined the differences lets now see what are the similarities between both Linea PB and Linea Classic:
- Dual boilers
- Stable temperature control
- Reliable steam performance for busy cafes even when under maximum demand
- PID control which will monitor your temperature
Which ever model you choose you will get greater control, better coffee and reliability out of them.
We now lease both models over 3 or 5 year term to new start-ups and exisitng businesses.
