Another recent install completed, and a great reminder of why we’ve partnered with La Marzocco NZ.

At Ryder, we choose equipment that matches how we approach coffee, precise, consistent, and built to last in real world service conditions. La Marzocco has set the global benchmark for espresso machine design for decades, combining traditional Italian craftsmanship with modern engineering to deliver exceptional thermal stability, durability, and repeatable performance under pressure.

For a busy espresso bar, reliability isn’t a nice to have! it’s everything! The consistency these machines deliver service after service means our team can focus on extraction, workflow, and customer experience, rather than fighting equipment variability. That’s a big part of why this partnership is so important to us.

We also value the craft behind it. Every machine reflects a level of build quality and attention to detail that aligns closely with our values, respect for raw materials, precision in ex*****on, and longevity over disposability.

Another strong install in the books, and another café set up to serve at a high level from day one. “When we set up our customers, ‘crushing it’ is the only option on the table.”
