Where to find La Marzocco at the festival

See a touch of La Marzocco wherever you go across the 2026 festival. From the Roasters Village and True Artisan Café to the VIP Bar and the La Marzocco Home stand, there are many places you can see La Marzocco’s iconic espresso machines in action this year!

The Roasters Village

The Roasters Village returned to LCF this year, brought to you by La Marzocco! Each roaster will get their very own Linea Mini, known for its professional café-quality coffee at Home, a compact espresso machine inspired by the iconic Linea Classic.  

Take a look at the full line-up of roasters that took up residency in La Marzocco’s legendary Roasters Village here.

Within this area, we also had a line-up of DJs taking to the decks to add to the vibe - featuring DJs from brands such as Clifton Coffee Roasters, Nostos and WatchHouse!
