Key Features:
Comprehensive Profiling
The integration of pressure profiles with a target weight, managed by La Marzocco’s predictive mass algorithm, ensures unparalleled shot-to-shot consistency, even with the most intricate pressure curves.
Intelligent saturation and comprehensive profiling combine to deliver unmatched accuracy and repeatability.
Intelligent Saturation
The new Intelligent Saturation feature automates the pre-infusion phase based on back pressure sensed in the group head, guaranteeing full saturation before the pump activates.
Consistent water paths through the coffee result in each shot behaving precisely as ordered by the barista, making Intelligent Saturation the backbone of the Strada.
Paddle-Based Profile Control
A redesigned paddle facilitates real-time pressure boost programming into the software, allowing baristas to monitor the performance of their customized profiles during manual shot pulling.
Direct Coffee Filters
Straight portafilters enhance speed, reduce pressure on baristas, and treat espresso pods more gently.
Automatic steam flow streamlines the workflow, ensuring cleaner group heads and offering a complete reimagining of the traditionally repetitive task of brewing espresso.
Independent Boilers and Pumps
Group head boilers enable simultaneous custom brewing temperatures, while a separate steam boiler provides on-demand steam pressure.
Independent pumps, including an external pump for stable pressure during intelligent saturation and group head-specific pumps for unique synchronized pressure profiles, contribute to the machine’s unparalleled performance.
La Marzocco’s Strada X promises to revolutionize the coffee industry with its innovative features, setting a new standard for excellence. As coffee aficionados eagerly await its market debut in 2024, the machine’s advanced technology and user-friendly design are poised to make a significant impact on the way espresso is brewed and enjoyed in the UAE and the broader Middle East region.
