What Siri Can Do
With Siri, you can control a connected La Marzocco machine using your voice. The integration currently supports five commands:
The Gallery features the available collection of shortcuts.
- Check machine status
- · Turn machine on
- · Turn machine off
- · Turn steam boiler on
- · Turn steam boiler off
You can access these shortcuts directly from the settings page of your machine in the La Marzocco App. Tap “Shortcuts tips” to see all available commands for your machine. All paired machines will automatically have shortcuts created for them.
Building Automations
Beyond single voice commands, you can use Apple Shortcuts to build automations that combine your espresso machine with other actions. Your machine becomes part of larger routines.
For example, you could create a morning Shortcut that:
- Turns on your espresso machine
- Sets your kitchen lights to 60% brightness
- Get a weather report
- Name this Shortcut “Start my day” and say those three words to Siri each morning.
You can trigger Shortcuts automatically based on time, location, or other events. In the Shortcuts app, tap the Automation tab and create a new automation. Choose your trigger, like when you arrive home, dismiss your alarm, then add the La Marzocco action you want. Set it to run immediately, and your machine will respond without you saying a word.

With this update, the La Marzocco app now supports iOS Shortcuts, allowing Siri users to connect their espresso machine directly to Apple’s automation ecosystem.
- Voice control with Siri
- Custom shortcuts tailored to your routine
- Automations that prepare your coffee station.
This update is all about letting technology support the ritual you already love.
Creating Your Own Commands
Some shortcut phrasing may feel a bit formal. iOS Shortcuts are designed to be customized.
Here’s how:
- Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac
- Tap + to create a new Shortcut
- Tap Add Action and search for La Marzocco App
- Select the action you want (like turn on MI000002 in La Marzocco)
- Tap the dropdown next to “New Shortcut” and rename it to whatever phrase feels natural to you.
- So now, instead of memorizing exact phrasing, you can rename shortcuts with names like:
“Hey Siri, turn on My Espresso Machine”
Check out Apple Shortcuts User Guide to add actions from different apps to create a more advanced and automated shortcut.

We’re continuing to refine language, improve feedback, and expand how the app integrates into your daily routine. This is just the beginning.
Using La Marzocco with Apple Shortcuts
La Marzocco shortcuts let you control key machine functions, such as turning the machine on or off, checking status, or managing steam boiler directly through Apple Shortcuts on your Apple devices.
Which shortcuts are available?
Standard shortcuts include:
-
Turn machine ON or OFF
-
Check machine status
-
Turn steam ON or OFF
These shortcuts appear automatically in the Apple Shortcuts app once the La Marzocco App is installed.
Can I personalize my shortcuts?
Yes! Apple Shortcuts allows you to customize actions to match your workflow, such as adding voice feedback, notifications, or automations, especially when using a Mac or iPad.
Who manages shortcut organization and sharing?
All shortcut organization, sharing, and device synchronization are managed entirely by Apple and iCloud, ensuring a seamless experience across your Apple devices.
Does the La Marzocco App manage shortcuts?
The La Marzocco App automatically makes shortcuts available on your device, but all shortcut management, editing, organizing, and syncing, is handled by Apple’s Shortcuts app.
Can I use shortcuts on all my Apple devices?
Yes. Shortcuts can be used across iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac, as long as all devices are signed in with the same Apple ID and iCloud is enabled.
Why do changes sometimes take time to sync?
Shortcut updates rely on Apple iCloud synchronization, which may take some time. La Marzocco does not control this process, but your shortcuts will sync automatically once iCloud completes the update.
