I just scored an ECM Synchronika and have been blazing your videos learning how to up my game. I went by your store last year in SC it was dope but and I didn't even realize at the time everything you have going on this whole coffee scene! Thanks for all the great content bruh
I love innovation and new ideas, the mindset to keep things simple and creative to the end user..... matters most! efficiency and ergonomic go hand in hand! After all, people got to have coffee done smart and effectively! Kodos to La Marzocco with the KB90! Job well done, with plenty of old and new feature's..... great video Chris, very informative.....
Great video. Love to hear more about Kent, sounds like an awesome dude. Any person with a hobby/passion needs a Kent in their life. I had a similar experience learning to DJ as a teenager, this one older guy showed me the ropes and never made me feel stupid for asking questions. Really gave me lots of encouragement to keep learning.
Startet to work with this machine today, because our actual machine broke. I was sceptical at first, because I always worked with these standard bayonette-motion machines. But I really have to admit that the work flow with the kb 90 is absolutely fantastic. It's a completely new feeling but after getting used to it, I just don't want to go back to the old Machine.
It is cool that they are trying new things. I like the auto purge. That is pretty great. I do see the concern of the moving parts. I guess time will tell, but something tells me they have been testing it for awhile.
Like that Nicely tidbit at the end! Seemed like he was making an excellent point regarding latte art. Specifically, where one's awareness should be during the pour. Is there by chance more conversation you captured? I'm curious about the rest of that sequence haha.
Imagine a totally rookie barista starting out on this machine, getting kicked out, working in another cafe, and rants "oh in my old job we dont have to twist". LMAO
Nothing is worse than getting a fresh trainee who worked at "Joe Blows Commodity Coffee Stand" and all they wanna talk about is what they did at the old job lmao. "Oh you didn't wipe your portafilters after each pull at your old job? That's gross. Let's talk about what you're gonna do here"
Machine looks like it has some amazing features. I'll be sticking with our astoria storm. Incrimental changes not enough for me. Would love your opinion on grinders for your shop and why you have what u have.
This is so great, CB. Props to KB. Love our PB AV... one day, maybe a KB. ¿¿¿ BTW Chris... can you demo your low pressure machine you use for regular coffees???
I like the HOME BARISTA hat. Also I keep trying to find a pro barista to do an industrial ergonomics video with and of course nobody wants to do it (I own a physical therapy clinic). Sure it's not going to sell coffee, who cares, I just want to have fun helping people. Lastly, chucking a deuce is just not something that should be done to anybody lol.
Do you think this new way of putting the portafilters into the machine makes the machine more prone to breaking? Because it has a lot more parts? Or do you think it even eliminates some parts breaking because you dont twist the portafilter anymore? Let me know what you think! :)
I'd give it 2 years and check how it is functioning by that time. From there I'll make my own opinions whether this machine is better or worse than its cousin linea PB
The next steps towards full automation, coffee making won't exist in the next 20 to 30 years, the only thing will be hospitality and interpersonal skills.
Why am I watching a video about a $30,000 espresso machine? Who are you Chris Baca? I am a software engineer and mountain biker... why do I care about this?
Seriously. Don't take it away. I even hate that commercial machines don't have levers. It's like not being able to have a sports car with a manual transmission. You lose some soul. I get it for a commercial, high-volume application, but still. There's something dissatisfying about it.
So you have a guy who's "worried" about his longevity in the field because of twisting a porta-filter into a machine? Yeah..okay..and he probably goes to a health club to workout, and doesn't worry about that exercise..OMG...please...
had to smile at "don't you take anything away from me" - it's part of my process

This machine is 5 times more innovative than all the other new releases this year. Great stuff! *"Finds" pain-points on bar* ;)
Awesome machine dude, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Big fan of your channel; keep up the good work.

DON'T TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM ME!
the twisting motion is iconic!
Looks so cool. Love how the features don’t really takeaway much ‘skill’ from the barista, it just adds things! 👌🏻
I love these mods/updates. I love La Marzocco. I jive with all that you are saying here. And Chris, I love you too, Bro.
Love what you do.
If u boring ,get some fresh air. Then love what you do again.. btw nice video chris
Great review as always! keep up the good work brother!

I borrowed the idea of steam purging.
I now apply that on my Cheapo Thermoblock lol
It doesn't even have a solenoid valve
I saw this on Socratic Coffee! Thanks for this video and giving us more info on this super cool machine.
Best piece of equipment I’ve used in a shop, Steam wand takes a little getting used to though
We run with a Linea PB currently... We will totally consider going to the KB90 in future locations but I won't get rid of that PB till the day I die!

Always on your LM game when I need it most. Thanks for the look in to the new machine!

How bout something like "Dude, you don't throw out the old grind, you just put new grinds on it to make the coffee stronger"
@@wearashirt oh god I'm gonna puke
Ryan Madrid No. You just explain “Well yeah, but unlike where you worked before, we want customers to come back here.”
Machine looks like it has some amazing features. I'll be sticking with our astoria storm. Incrimental changes not enough for me. Would love your opinion on grinders for your shop and why you have what u have.
i think i might upgrade to the kb90, the rocket evoluzione just isn't cutting it.
amazing piece… hope that i can have a look soon, i'm soo interested in all that tech stuff…
2:26 so true pls don't take purging away from me, it makes me feel like a pro... :)
Love la Marzocco ! have my GS3 for 12 years now still going strong. Cool features though.
I love the styling! They need a KB Mini! ;)
“Cheddar on a new machine player!!!!”
This is so great, CB. Props to KB. Love our PB AV... one day, maybe a KB. ¿¿¿ BTW Chris... can you demo your low pressure machine you use for regular coffees???
I don’t get having straight in portafilters yet still having twist steam knobs. Just doesn’t make sense if doing it for ergonomics
It that possible to buy this machine in Melbourne ? Thanks
Shots on this machine come out way more consistent than the Linea PB
I like the HOME BARISTA hat. Also I keep trying to find a pro barista to do an industrial ergonomics video with and of course nobody wants to do it (I own a physical therapy clinic).

I'm with the home brew crew, Don't take my jerking twist action away Chris.
whta is you camera use? XD
Hi Chris, I have a question: is there any other way to contact you, other that TH-cam comments?
Greetings from Poland!
Honestly, are u under contract for LM?
Notification gang 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
KB Mini please.
I think I’ll switch up from my linea mini. 🤪
great vid man, extremely helpful..SUBSCRIBED!!! sk8 or die
Amazing machine comes with amazing price tag 😂
I would like to upgrade my Sage duo temp pro for this. You only need one kidney
7:03 omg i thought this was a huge spoonfull sugar.

HB!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
Fancy thinking there will be baristas in 20-30 years.
The next steps towards full automation, coffee making won't exist in the next 20 to 30 years, the only thing will be hospitality and interpersonal skills.
Please blink.
Anyone ever buy this thing for their house? 22k dollars lol
Why am I watching a video about a $30,000 espresso machine?
Who are you Chris Baca?
