DETAIL

: Strada X

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 honor.

The Strada X improves upon the features and modernizes 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 also providing the barista an open, expansive work area.

: 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 group heads, straight-in portafilters are a complete reimagining of the most repeated task in espresso preparation.

: Smart Saturation

By automating the pre-infusion stage based on backpressure sensed in the group head, the new Smart Saturation feature ensures that every espresso puck is fully saturated before the pump is engaged. This ensures that pressurized water has consistent pathways through the coffee, making every shot—no matter what the pressure profile is set to—behave exactly like the one the barista dialed in. Smart Saturation is the backbone of the Strada X, representing a new way of looking at coffee saturation and pressure profiling, with a focus on consistency, repeatability, and workflow.

: Mass Based Profiling

Tying pressure profiles to a target weight managed by La Marzocco’s predictive mass algorithm creates unparalleled consistency from shot to shot—even with the most adventurous pressure curve. Combined with Smart Saturation, the mass-based profiling delivers unparalleled accuracy and repeatability.

: 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.
