History of La San Marco Espresso Machines
La San Marco was founded in 1920 and quickly established itself as a leader in the espresso machine industry. Before 1946, the company had already created some of the most iconic models of its time, including the La San Marco Model 900, La San Marco Model 42, and the La San Marco Atlantic. These machines were known for their sleek designs and reliable performance, setting the stage for the company’s future success.
In the 1950s, La San Marco introduced a range of lever espresso machines that would go on to become classics in their own right. Models like the La San Marco Disco Volante, La San Marco Lollobrigida, and the La San Marco Model 70 cemented the company’s reputation for excellence. More recently, in the 1980s and 1990s, La San Marco continued to innovate with the launch of the La San Marco Series 85 and the La San Marco 1995, keeping the brand at the forefront of the espresso machine market.
Modern La San Marco Espresso Machines
Today, La San Marco remains focused on producing commercial espresso machines, with a strong emphasis on both traditional and lever-operated models. Some of the most popular models that have been in the La San Marco catalog for many years include the La San Marco 105, La San Marco 100, La San Marco 80, and the La San Marco 85 Roma. While these models have been in production for decades, La San Marco has continuously modernized them to meet the evolving needs of the coffee industry.
One of La San Marco’s latest innovations is the D. Collection, a new line of espresso machines available in both multi-boiler and single-boiler configurations. This collection is designed to compete with other high-end commercial espresso machines, offering baristas more control and flexibility.
La San Marco is also known for having one of the largest assortments of lever espresso machines on the market. Classic models like the La San Marco Leva 80 have been joined by more modern versions like the La San Marco 20/20 Leva and the La San Marco Luxury. The latest addition to the lineup is the La San Marco Leva V6, a double-sided espresso machine with three lever-operated brewing groups on each side, making it ideal for high-volume environments.
La San Marco Coffee Grinders
In addition to its iconic espresso machines, La San Marco also produces a range of high-quality coffee grinders for commercial use. Popular models include the La San Marco SM92 and La San Marco SM97, both of which feature flat burrs and a dosing mechanism. The San Marco SM LK is a hybrid grinder that uses two flat burrs and one conical burr, while the San Marco SM TK is a fully conical grinder designed for maximum precision.
For those seeking more control over their grinding process, La San Marco also offers "On-Demand" versions of these grinders, allowing baristas to grind coffee directly into the portafilter for optimal freshness.
