La Marzocco Strada Commercial Espresso Machine

Description

Over the course of two years La Marzocco worked with thirty of the world’s finest coffee professionals to design a machine. A lower profile invites customer engagement in a café setting, while also providing the barista an open, expansive work area. The Strada platform has been designed to encourage creativity and customization so that each machine can be unique. The Strada is available in 5 different configurations to meet the specific needs of baristas and cafes around the world

The Strada incorporates technologies from the aerospace and medical industries: where component failure is not acceptable.

Electronically controlled gear pumps provide precise, direct pressure control. Motor speed is controlled with La Marzocco’s classic paddle interface. The Electronical Paddle assures absolute and direct control of pressure at any point during the extraction and it is manually controlled by the barista. Thanks to the Strada EP technology it is possible to program and reproduce pressure profiles.

Strada AV vs. EP vs. ABR

The La Marzocco Strada comes in three types.

AV (automatic volumetric) – offers software-driven, highly accurate volumetric brewing with programmable doses.

EP (electronic paddle) – versions allow you to introduce water at the pace and pressure you set and control by hand. This last version offers the most control as well as full pressure profiling functionality. These pressure profiles can then be reused electronically.

ABR (Auto Brew Ratio) – Using precision scales, built beneath each group, that are incorporated into the espresso machine’s electronic system and provide the barista with a new level of consistency, by giving control over beverage mass
