La Marzocco Strada X

Introducing the La Marzocco Strada X, the pinnacle of espresso machine engineering, designed to offer the ultimate user-friendly experience without compromising on performance. The Strada X integrates industry-leading technology with intuitive features, making it the perfect choice for any café or coffee shop aiming for precision and consistency.

Key Features and Benefits:

Smart Saturation

• Revolutionizes the pre-infusion stage by automating it based on backpressure sensed in the group head. This ensures complete saturation of every espresso puck before engaging the pump, leading to consistent water pathways and shots that behave precisely as dialed in by the barista.

Mass-Based Profiling

• Ties pressure profiles to a target weight managed by La Marzocco’s predictive mass algorithm, creating unparalleled consistency from shot to shot. Combined with Smart Saturation, this feature delivers exceptional accuracy and repeatability.

Paddle-Based Profile Control

• A redesigned paddle automatically tunes pressure inputs into a profile that prevents puck damage and channeling. Real-time pressure ramping can be programmed into the software, allowing baristas to see exactly how their profile runs in Manual mode.

Straight-In Portafilters

• Increase speed and reduce strain on baristas while being gentler on espresso pucks. An auto steam flush ensures a streamlined workflow and cleaner group heads.

Workflow Optimization

• The Strada X supports manual, profile, and auto-volumetric (AV) modes, allowing baristas to create pressure curves manually, save them to repeatable profiles, or set custom pressure and target weight in AV mode.

Drip Tray Scales

• Pair the accurate Drip Prediction algorithm with pressure profiles for unprecedented shot consistency.

Pro Touch Steam Wands

• High-performing steam wands that remain cool to the touch for enhanced safety and comfort.

Hot Water Economiser

• Fine-tune the tap water temperature for rinsing, optimizing your workflow.

Expansive Drip Tray

• Provides extra workspace for staging cups and cleaning cloths.

Engineering Excellence:

Independent Boilers

• Grouphead-specific boilers allow for simultaneous custom brew temperatures, while a separate steam boiler delivers on-demand steam pressure.

Proportional Valve Technology

• Control steam pressure with pinpoint accuracy using an electronically controlled valve.

Independent Pumps

• An external pump provides stable pressure for Smart Saturation, while grouphead-specific pumps can simultaneously run unique pressure profiles.

PID Temperature and Pressure Control

• Set independent temperatures for each grouphead and steam boiler accurate to 0.1 degrees Celsius. Create unique pressure curves with a PID system that updates 40 times per second.

Saturated Groups

• Ensure unsurpassed thermal stability shot after shot, delivering consistent quality with every espresso.

Honouring the "Street Team":

• The Strada X is a testament to La Marzocco's collaboration with a diverse team of engineers, technicians, and baristas, known as the "Street Team." This machine incorporates their insights and innovations, ensuring it meets the evolving needs of the coffee industry.
