Why buy from us
  • Engineer install and commissioning

    Plumbed to mains water and waste, wired to the right power supply, pressure and temperature set, group heads dialled in. We do not leave until the machine is pouring properly.

  • Water filter and softener

    Scale is the most common cause of premature failure on a traditional espresso machine. Filter and softener sized for your water hardness, fitted on install.

  • First 6kg of coffee

    Coffee lands with the machine, enough to dial in and start trading before your first reorder.

  • One team after that

    Coffee, cups, cleaning kit and engineer support, all from the same number. Engineers across the UK for ongoing service.

The cafe workhorse, refined for the last three decades.

The Linea Classic is the machine that has helped define what specialty coffee looks like. It sits behind the bar in the cafes, the roasteries and the chains whose names defined the industry. Reserved, reliable, consistent. Built to be the dependable partner in any coffee programme that takes coffee seriously.

Twin saturated brewing groups, dual PID for separate coffee and steam temperature control, two steam wands and a hot water tap. New touches the original did not have, including timers for tracking brew time and easier programming for the barista. Available in two or three group configurations.

The La Marzocco on the bar is a signal to customers that you take coffee seriously. The machine does the talking before the first drink leaves the spout, and the build keeps doing it for years.

Our engineers deliver and install the machine, plumb it in to mains water and waste, run the power and commission it on your bar. Your first 6kg of coffee comes with it. After that, you have one team handling the supplies and any engineer support, for as long as the machine is on the bar.

Common questions

The things buyers actually ask

How much does the Linea Classic S cost?
We build every Linea Classic S quote around what your business needs, including group count, colour and any options like volumetric programming. Get in touch and we will design a complete quote for you, including engineer install, water filter and softener, delivery and your first 6kg of coffee.
How does it compare to the Linea PB?
The Classic S is the timeless tier with dual PID, twin saturated groups and the classic Linea look. The PB adds auto volumetric programming with four programmable doses per group head, more advanced electronics and the saturated group design refined further. The Classic S is the bar workhorse. The PB is the choice for cafes that want individual drink control on every group head.
Do we need a trained barista?
Yes. A traditional espresso machine needs someone behind the bar to dose, tamp and pull the shot, and to steam milk on the wand. In practice the skill is more straightforward to pick up than the machines look, and anyone can be brought up to a competent standard with a basic introduction. If a trained operator is not part of the setup, a bean to cup is the better category instead.
Does it have to be plumbed in?
Yes. Traditional espresso machines are plumbed to mains water and to waste. They cannot be run from a tank or barrel. If your site does not have plumbing and waste in place we can flag what is needed during the survey.
