developed for and by baristas, the strada x redefines espresso machine functionality
The Strada X represents the best of La Marzocco’s pioneering espresso engineering in its easiest-to-use machine, ever. With predictive mass-based profiling tied to drip tray scales, straight-in portafilters, and independent group pumps, the Strada X combines industry-leading espresso technology with an all-new software system and Smart Saturation to ensure every shot pulled is exactly how the barista imagined it.
Highlights
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.
Essential features
Independent Boilers
A grouphead-specific boiler allows for custom brew temperatures while a separate steam boiler delivers on-demand steam pressure.
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.
Drip Tray Scales
Pair the extremely accurate Drip Prediction algorithm with pressure profiles to deliver unprecedented shot consistency.
Proportional Valve Technology
Control steam pressure with pinpoint accuracy on an electronically controlled valve.
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 degrees Fahrenheit.
PID Pressure Control
Create unique pressure curves with the knowledge that profiles are tuned by a PID system that updates 40 times each second.
Saturated Groups
Ensure unsurpassed thermal stability, shot after shot.
Steam Flush
Automatically cleans your grouphead between shots to increase barista speed.
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.
