The Linea Classic; La Marzocco's beginning. The clean lines and simple charm of the Linea Classic occupies many of the cafes, roasteries, and chains whose names have defined the industry. The Classic machine dates back to 1988 when the coffee industry started. This workhorse of an espresso machine still keeps up with the newer varieties on the market. A tried and true machine, the Linea performs reliably in high-volume settings and is perfect for your new cafe, bar, or restaurant.
