Product description
La Marzocco GS3 espresso machine in AV and MP versionsThe difference is in the extraction method, not the appearance
Friday morning, guests at home, and six cups needed in a row. Whoever wants all six to be identical without thinking sets the dose once and presses a button. Whoever enjoys opening the flow by hand and closing it when they see the color change wants the lever. That is exactly the difference between the two versions on this page, and everything else is the same in both.
Two versions, and what they share
AV version
Automatic volumetric operation: program the dose volume once, and the machine stops at that point every time without monitoring. It suits anyone who wants the same cup every morning, as well as households where not everyone wants to learn how to adjust the extraction.
MP version
Mechanical lever operation: you open the flow, lengthen or shorten the pre-infusion stage, and decide when to stop. It opens the door to experimentation with every new coffee and requires practice before the results become consistent.
What they share
Separate coffee and steam boilers with Dual PID control for each, an exposed saturated group, preheated water, an integrated 3.5-liter tank, and a Performance Touch steam wand. The body and dimensions are the same in both versions.
Read your situation and choose
Important before ordering
The choice between AV and MP is a choice of extraction method, not appearance, and neither can be converted into the other after purchase, so read the tabs above before selecting from the product options. The machine has no built-in grinder, so it requires a separate espresso grinder worthy of it.
Why one group is enough at home
The independent steam boiler lets you steam milk while extracting, so the only wait between cups is the time needed to prepare the puck itself. The real congestion appears in a café environment pulling two orders at once, not in a home coffee corner.

Questions that come up before ordering
What is the difference between the La Marzocco GS3 versions?
AV uses volumetric operation: program the dose volume, and the machine stops automatically at that point. MP uses a mechanical lever that lets you open the flow by hand and close it whenever you want. The body, boilers, and temperature control are the same in both.
Can the version be changed after purchase?
The extraction method is part of the machine's design, not a setting that can be switched from a menu, so the choice must be made from the product options before completing the order.
Do you need a separate grinder?
Yes, there is no built-in grinder. Cup quality depends on the grind as much as it does on the machine, so pair it with a suitable espresso grinder.
What does an exposed saturated group mean?
Water continuously circulates around the brew head, keeping the temperature steady between cups, while the exposed design makes it easier to access for cleaning.
