Up for sale is a very well loved La Marzocco GS3 AV (2016). This was my first real true love in at-home Espresso, but it's time to let her find a new home so I can clear out some space and budget for the next step on my espresso journey.

I'm the second owner of the machine; I purchased it from an LA-based espresso repair tech who used it as his home machine. In August 2018 it went in for service, had its boiler drained, and an overall check-up and tuning.

It has a few some upgrades:
-Walnut group-head cap
-Walnut stream lever
-Walnut Portafilter Handle
-Pantechnicon machined stainless feet
-Blue Cafelat group-head gasket
-IMS shower screen with new diffuser screw

The machine is in fantastic shape - the chrome is bright and polished - and there is only a few slight marks from usage. The machine has only been used in an at-home setting, with at most 2-3 shots per day. I've followed a regular cleaning regimen and have only used filtered water.

The sale includes:
-GS3 AV machine as pictured
-Double La Marzocco Portafilter w/ Walnut Handle
-Blind Basket
-Four La Marzocco portafilter baskets (7g, 12g, 17g, 21g)
-New, unused IMS Shower Screen, Blue Cafelat Silicone Gasket
-Stainless steel braided water hose from La Marzocco for plumb-in. The machine does not include the water reservoir
-Fitting and hose for drain tray (drain tray is currently plugged)

Asking $5500. Los Angeles based, prefer a local sale.
