La Marzocco introduced early models such as the Fiorenza machine before securing a patent for the first horizontal boiler espresso machine in 1939. The company later introduced dual boiler systems and saturated brewing groups through its GS series in the 1970s, followed by pressure profiling technology in its 2009 Strada model. [5]
