strada x
Designed for and by baristas
the strada platform has been designed to encourage creativity and customisation so that each machine can be unique.
Over the course of two years La Marzocco worked with thirty of the world’s finest coffee professionals to design an espresso machine. This group was known as the “Street Team”. The Strada, which means street in Italian, was named in their honour. The Strada X improves upon the features and modernises the aesthetics of the original, while combining the most advanced features across the La Marzocco range of products. A lower profile invites customer engagement in a café setting, while alsoe providing the barista an open, expansive work area.
The Strada is now available in 2 different configurations to meet the specific needs of baristas and cafés around the world.
Mass Based Profiling
La Marzocco's Mass Based Profiling uses data from integrated scales to ensure absolute consistency in pressure profiling, while providing familiar and intuitive controls for the barista.
Smart Saturation
Smart Saturation on the Strada X guarantees consistent espresso saturation by automating pre-infusion based on flow meter data, revolutionizing consistency and workflow in coffee brewing.
Paddle-Based Profile Control
Strada X's redesigned paddle auto-tunes your pressure input, ensuring optimal espresso extraction and giving baristas real-time feedback during manual shot pulls.
Straight-In Portafilters
Straight-in portafilters increase speed while reducing the strain on baristas and being gentler on espresso pucks. Combined with an auto steam flush for streamlined workflow and cleaner groupheads, straight-in portafilters are a complete reimagining of the most repeated task in espresso preparation.
Engineering
Proportional Valve Technology
Control steam pressure with pinpoint accuracy on an electronically controlled valve.
Independent Boilers
Grouphead specific boilers allow for simultaneous custom brew temperatures while a separate steam boiler delivers on-demand steam pressure.
Independent Pumps
An external pump provides stable pressure for Smart Saturation while grouphead specific pumps can simultaneously run unique pressure profiles.
PID Temperature Control
Set independent temperatures for each grouphead and steam boiler accurate to 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit.
PID Pressure Control
Create unique pressure curves with the knowledge that profiles are tuned by a PID system that updates 40 times each second.
Saturated Groups
Ensure unsurpassed thermal stability, shot after shot.
Workflow
Manual, Profile, and AV Modes
Create pressure curves manually, save them to repeatable profiles, or set a custom pressure and target weight in AV mode to optimize your workflow.
Straight-In Portafilters
Reduce barista strain and puck damage while reducing prep time between espresso shots.
Steam Flush
Automatically cleans your grouphead between shots to increase barista speed.
Drip Tray Scales
Pair the extremely accurate Drip Prediction algorithm with pressure profiles to deliver unprecedented shot consistency.
Pro Touch Steam Wands
High performing steam wands that are cool to the touch.
Hot Water Economiser
Enables you to fine-tune the tap water temperature for rinsing.
Expansive Drip Tray
Increases a barista’s work space with extra room to stage cups and cleaning cloths.
