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.
Smart Saturation
By automating the preinfusion stage based on backpressure sensed in the grouphead, 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.
Paddle-Based Profile Control
A redesigned paddle ensures that the Strada X automatically tunes your pressure inputs into a profile that won’t damage the puck and result in channeling. By programming real-time pressure ramping into the software, baristas can see exactly how their newly created profile runs as they’re pulling a shot in Manual mode.
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.
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 run unique simultaneous 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 relay system.
Saturated Groups
Ensure unsurpassed thermal stability, shot after shot.
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.
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 Economizer
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.
