All about the La Marzocco Strada X – Pressure profiling

On the Strada X, the barista shapes the pressure of every shot with the paddle on the group, and can save that curve as a profile tied to a target weight in the cup. Each group has its own saturated boiler and its own pump, so two baristas can run different profiles and temperatures side by side.

Key features

Pressure profiling with the paddle
In Manual mode the barista builds the pressure curve with the paddle during the shot, and real-time ramping shows the profile as it runs.

Profiles tied to a target weight
In Profile mode you save repeatable profiles; La Marzocco’s predictive mass algorithm links each one to a target weight. In AV mode you set one pressure and a target weight.

Smart Saturation
Preinfusion runs automatically, based on the back pressure sensed in the group, so the puck is fully saturated before the pump engages.

A boiler and a pump per group
Each saturated group has its own 1.3 liter boiler with PID temperature control and its own pump with PID pressure control. An external pump supplies stable pressure for Smart Saturation.

Scales in the drip tray
The drip tray scales work with La Marzocco’s drip prediction algorithm and the pressure profiles.

Straight-in portafilters and steam flush
Straight-in portafilters speed up the workflow and put less strain on the barista and the puck. Steam flush cleans the group head automatically between shots, and the Pro Touch steam wands stay cool to the touch.

Frequently asked questions

Strada X or Strada S?
Both are 50 cm high and have a saturated boiler per group. The Strada X adds pressure profiling with the paddle, profiles tied to a target weight and scales in the drip tray; the Strada S doses by volume and weighs less (77 kg against 94 kg with 2 groups).

What do Manual, Profile and AV mode do?
In Manual mode the barista builds the pressure curve with the paddle. Profile mode saves those curves so you can repeat them. In AV mode you set one pressure and a target weight.

2 or 3 groups?
The 3-group Strada X is 20 cm wider (103 cm), has a larger steam boiler (11.8 L instead of 8.2 L) and weighs 101 kg instead of 94 kg. Tell us how many drinks you make in your busiest hour and we help you choose.

Which electrical connection does it need?
La Marzocco builds the Strada X with 2 or 3 groups for 200 V single phase, 220 V single or three phase and 380 V three phase, with a maximum power of 5,666 W (2 groups) or 7,783 W (3 groups). Have your electrician check the connection before installation.

What does OR include with the machine?
12 kg of OR specialty coffee for espresso, a Full Barista Training for two people from your team at OR Academy, and full installation of the machine with OR coffee beans.

What our baristas think

The Strada X is for a bar that treats every espresso on the menu as its own recipe: a single origin on one group with its own profile and temperature, the house blend on the next. Profile and AV modes keep those recipes repeatable when the bar gets busy, and Manual mode stays open for the barista who wants to steer each shot. If your menu runs on one blend and you mainly need volume, the Strada S doses by volume with fewer settings to learn. Measure before you order: 83 cm wide and 94 kg with 2 groups, 103 cm and 101 kg with 3.
