Your original La Marzocco Linea Classics are a valuable asset with plenty of life left in them. Let ACE re-manufacture yours into a modern, exceptionally reliable workhorse - built to deliver years of dependable service.
ACE designed innovative half-turn steam taps to reduce barista fatigue and minimise wear and tear on costly mechanical components and seals. Enjoy smoother operation, improved efficiency and reduced maintenance over the life of your machine.
ACE pioneered the use of pressure transducers for steam boiler control and has spent the past 20 years refining our proprietary technology.
Combining precise pressure sensing with advanced PID control delivers an exceptionally fast response and outstanding steam recovery. Unlike traditional pressurestats, which are susceptible to electrical arcing and contact burnout, or temperature-based control systems that suffer from inherent response delays, ACE’s Steam Pressure PID technology delivers responsive, consistent and reliable performance.
Experience ACE Steam Pressure PID control, and you’ll never want to go back to conventional boiler control again.
For nearly a decade, ACE has been manufacturing premium Kronos Touchpads for the La Marzocco Linea Classic. Featuring tactile-feedback switches for confident, precise operation and a large, easy-to-read two-digit shot timer, the Kronos Touchpad delivers reliable performance and enhanced usability for your baristas.
Every ACE Linea Klassic machine is fitted with a high-quality ACE Over-Pressure Valve, vented directly to the ACE Stainless Steel Tun Dish. This design ensures that, in the event of abnormal pressure conditions, steam is safely directed away from electrical and electronic components, helping to protect critical systems and enhance operational safety.
ACE fits quick-connect pump connectors to all external pumps, including machines where these were not previously installed. Combined with our forthcoming hydraulic connectors, this innovation enables the rapid removal and replacement of like-for-like machines, minimising downtime and disruption.
ACE can also provide a pre-prepared, fully operational ('hot') replacement machine, enabling an even faster changeover and helping to maintain operational continuity.
All ACE remanufactured machines are supplied with a two-year Parts and Labour Warranty, subject to adequate maintenance and water testing being carried out by an authorised ACE Service Representative throughout the initial two-year warranty period.
An additional three-year ACE-Care Warranty may be offered at the discretion of ACE engineers.
Like the sight glass, the steam-wand isolation valves are a common source of leaks. Removing, resealing or replacing them can be costly. Experienced technicians know that using these valves for their intended purpose—to isolate the steam supply during steam-tap maintenance—often creates problems of its own. All too frequently, once reopened after servicing, the valves begin to leak.
Why spend your hard-earned money repairing or replacing components that experienced technicians know are best avoided?
Our solution: We remove the isolation valves and professionally refabricate the copper steam lines to connect directly to the original steam boiler outlet fittings. The result is a simpler, cleaner installation that eliminates these troublesome leak points and provides a practical, cost-effective alternative to repeated repairs or replacement.
The sight glass is a common source of leaks, and rebuilding or replacing it can be costly. Yet, few baristas or even technicians regularly check or use it. Why spend your hard-earned money repairing or replacing something you rarely need?
Our solution: We remove the sight glass and install a replacement front panel, leaving a clean, professional finish with no unsightly cutout. A practical, cost-effective alternative to an expensive repair or replacement.
The ACE Soft-Touch Power Switch combines intuitive, user-friendly operation with integrated Bluetooth pairing capability for connection to ACE's Smart Switch module. This provides a streamlined interface between the machine and ACE's smart technology platform, supporting enhanced connectivity and enabling future opportunities for intelligent monitoring, diagnostics and machine management.
All ACE Klassic machines feature a premium ACE soft-touch hot water switch, illuminated red during hot water dispensing for clear operational indication. The switch is integrated into a custom injection-moulded bezel, delivering a clean, seamless and professional finish that complements the machine's overall design.
Every ACE Linea Klassic build comes equipped with the ACE Smart Switch, allowing you to turn your machine on or off remotely via a dedicated app for iOS and Android.
The app also features a 7-day programmable timer, enabling multiple automatic on/off cycles each day to suit your operating schedule. Enjoy greater convenience, improved control and the flexibility to have your machine ready when you need it.
ACE eliminates the Achilles’ heel of the original La Marzocco Linea Classic by replacing the troublesome magnetic contactor with a high-quality, double-pole solid-state relay. This upgrade improves reliability and offers a greater Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), helping reduce costly component-related downtime and maintenance.
Control your ACE Smart Switch directly from your iPhone or iPad. Download the app from the Apple App Store for convenient remote machine control and scheduling.
