La Marzocco - Strada X 1GR Straight In Portafilter

Please note: This machine is in Pre-Order and will be available after July

Features

• Mass-Based Profiling: Utilizes integrated drip tray scales and a predictive mass algorithm to control the pressure curve based on beverage weight, ensuring unparalleled consistency from shot to shot—even with complex pressure profiles.

• Smart Saturation: Automates pre-infusion by monitoring water flow rate, eliminating guesswork and ensuring consistent saturation of the coffee puck.

• Paddle-Based Profile Control: Redesigned paddle auto-tunes pressure inputs into profiles that prevent puck damage and channeling, providing real-time feedback during manual shot pulls.

• Straight-In Portafilters: Simplify the engagement process, reducing barista strain by twelve times and enhancing performance and usability.

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

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

• PID Temperature Control: Set independent temperatures for the grouphead and steam boiler accurate to 0.1°F, ensuring precise thermal management.

• PID Pressure Control: Create unique pressure curves with profiles tuned by a PID system that updates 40 times each second.

• Saturated Groups: Ensure unsurpassed thermal stability, shot after shot.

• Steam Flush: Automatically cleans the grouphead between shots to increase barista speed and maintain cleanliness.

• Pro Touch Steam Wands: High-performing steam wands that remain cool to the touch, ensuring safety and comfort during milk steaming.

• Hot Water Economizer: Enables fine-tuning of tap water temperature for rinsing or tea preparation.

• Expansive Drip Tray: Increases barista workspace with extra room to stage cups and cleaning cloths, enhancing workflow efficiency.

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.

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.

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.

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.
