La Marzocco GS3

Yep. That’s the Kanji for “slave”.

LM Australia no longer lets us us sell their prosumer stuff and receive their miniscule margins because we’re in the naughty corner… Is it because we prefer our shoe salesman to sell Converse over Nike or that we don’t have a hipster beard?

What we can tell you is that they don’t like feedback, unless it’s positive. We didn’t suck hard enough.

• If you’d like to know why, we’re more than happy to let you have the full story of how badly we were treated by them. It’s a doozy.
• Regardless, we have always recommended the Rocket Espresso R Nine One over the GS3 MP. It is vastly superior and offers far better value as well. The more recent Rocket Espresso Bicocca is also better than the GS3 AV. In fact, they’re both no-brainers. They probably don’t like that either.
