La Marzocco Strada X: Key Features
- 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 exceptional accuracy and repeatability.
- 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 channelling. By programming real-time pressure ramping into the software, baristas can see precisely how their newly created profile runs as they pull a shot in Manual mode.
- Independent boilers: Grouphead-specific boilers allow for simultaneous custom brew temperatures while a separate steam boiler delivers on-demand steam pressure.
- Smart saturation: By automating the preinfusion stage based on backpressure sensed in the group head, the new Smart Saturation feature ensures that every espresso puck is fully saturated before the pump is engaged. This ensures that pressurised 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 dialled in. Smart Saturation is the backbone of the Strada X, representing a new way of looking at coffee saturation and pressure profiling, focusing on consistency, repeatability, and workflow.
- 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 group heads, straight-in portafilters completely reimagine the most repeated task in espresso preparation.
- Independent pumps: An external pump provides stable pressure for Smart Saturation, while grouped specific pumps can run unique simultaneous pressure profiles.
