La Marzocco Linea Classic S: EE vs. AV – Which is Right for Your Cafe?
The La Marzocco Linea Classic S remains the industry benchmark for reliability and performance. However, when specifying your machine, the biggest decision you will face is choosing between the EE (Semi-Automatic) and the AV (Auto-Volumetric).
Here is a direct breakdown to help you decide which model suits your workflow.
| Linea Classic S EE | Linea Classic S AV | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Control | Manual start/stop via a single button. | Programmable auto-volumetric doses. |
| Shot Timing | Tracked via the central 3-button digital display. | Dedicated timers on top of each group button. |
| Programming | Programmed via the electronics board keypad. | Programmed via the left-hand group keypad. |
| Consistency | Barista-led (Manual precision). | Machine-led (Volumetric repeatability). |
1. Linea Classic S EE (Semi-Automatic)
The EE is the purist’s choice. It features a simple start/stop button for each group head.
-
How it works: The barista starts the shot and must manually press the button again to stop the flow once the desired yield is reached.
-
Best for: Small-scale specialty coffee shops, low-volume environments, or bars where the barista wants total manual control over every extraction.
-
Pros: Lower price point; fewer electronic components to maintain; encourages "hands-on" craft.
-
Cons: Requires the barista’s full attention during the entire shot. Inconsistent results if the barista is distracted by a customer or milk steaming.
2. Linea Classic S AV (Auto-Volumetric)
The AV is the workhorse of high-volume British speciality cafes. It uses programmed water increments to stop the shot automatically.

-
How it works: You programme the desired water volume for a single or double shot. The barista presses the button once, and the machine stops itself at the precise target.
-
Best for: High-volume cafes, busy morning rushes, and multi-staff environments where consistency is paramount.
-
Pros: Unmatched consistency across different staff members; allows the barista to "multi-task" (e.g., prep milk or take an order) while the shot pours.
-
Cons: Slightly higher initial investment; requires initial programming when changing coffee beans.
Which should you choose?
Choose the EE if your café operates at a lower volume, works within a tighter budget, or relies on highly skilled baristas who value full manual control over every stage of extraction.
Choose the AV if you run a busy, high-street location where speed and consistency matter most. Auto-volumetric dosing allows baristas to start a shot and focus on milk preparation, ensuring faster service and reliable results across every shift.
