La Marzocco Out of the Box 2013 Was the Stuff of Legends

Rendering of the new GS3

It’s hard to believe La Marzocco Out of the Box 2013 is over — it was a truly magical few days here in the heart of Milan’s design district, where artists, musicians, designers, architects, and authors came together with some of specialty coffee’s very best and brightest to look at La Marzocco innovations from new and varied perspectives. I’ll have an article about the event in the December+January issue of Barista Magazine, but I wanted to share some of my favorite moments from day 2 with you while the fairydust is still in the air.

For more from the event, check out La Marzocco TV for interviews, tours of the exhibits, complete videos of the speeches, and more right HERE.

  1. Hmm…the near future, or years in the making? Sorry to bother you…I’m getting a gs/3 for a catering business and I heard there might be changes. However, if I have to wait quite a long time, I may just order one now. That’s why I am so curious! Thanks for your great blog.

  2. hi guys,
    like Jason says on the previus comment, I’m very impressed with that first pic with a render of a new GS/3. I also cant find information about it. Is it a prototype? Is a GS/4?

  3. Looks like it was a great event. I’m curious as to the changes to the gs/3. I seem to be having trouble finding any information. Any suggestions on where to find out about it?
