Soft infusion on La Marzocco GB5
Hey all, I'm just wondering if La Marzocco has something comparable to the Soft Infusion System that Nuova Simonelli has? I like the idea of pressure ramping up slowly instead of being slammed by full pressure instantly. I know our GB5 has the pre-brew option but I haven't found desirable results from this. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I guess a flow restrictor aka gicleur is considered "soft infusion". So yes, GB5 and most other have it or can retrofit gicleurs. By selecting different diameters, you can influence the pressure ramp up.

Hey Guys,
Comparing systems and design philosophies can quickly become a topic for more debate than I personally am comfortable with as I do not love writing. Anyone and everyone who finds this thread should please feel free to email me directly, the inclusion of a phone number would help greatly!
If you would like some research we have done at La Marzocco that I feel everyone can learn from. (and keeps me from having to write an essay ;) ) please watch this video on water conditioning. http://nordicbaristacup.com/2013/09/water-the-main-ingredient-in-co...
I hope you all have a great day!
