The ultimate semi-automatic espresso machine for coffee professionals

Features

What is Strada X?

The "Strada X" is the ultimate semi-automatic espresso machine designed for coffee professionals. It inherits the basic performance of the previous "Strada EP" model while incorporating state-of-the-art features such as the straight-in portafilter, smart saturation, and gravimetric profiling, making it the flagship model. As the latest model in the Strada series, this machine combines the variable pressure system of previous models with innovative new functions, allowing for the maximum extraction of complex and delicate coffee flavors, while also enabling high reproducibility and excellent quality control.

Straight-in Portafilter

An innovative system that allows the portafilter to be attached to the group head simply by inserting it straight in. This simplifies the portafilter attachment and detachment process during espresso extraction, reducing strain on the barista's wrist and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, when combined with auto steam flush (*), it keeps the group head clean. *Auto steam flush: A function that automatically cleans the group head with steam and hot water when the portafilter is removed, effectively removing coffee residue.

Smart Saturation

A function that automates pre-infusion. It performs a low-pressure pre-infusion at the initial stage of espresso extraction and, based on data from the flow meter inside the group, determines the optimal timing to increase pressure. Once it detects that the coffee grounds are fully saturated, the machine automatically increases the pressure according to the user-defined pressure profile. This function enables more precise and uniform pre-infusion than traditional time-controlled methods, contributing to stable quality.

Gravimetric Profiling

A function that controls the pressure profile based on weight. A scale built into the drip tray measures the espresso extraction volume in real-time and automatically adjusts the pressure profile to match the target extraction volume. By having the machine handle the control of extraction volume and pressure, baristas can concentrate on quality control, primarily grind adjustment, enabling the pursuit of unique and high-quality espresso while stabilizing extraction volume.

Three Extraction Modes

Equipped with three modes (Manual, Profile, AV) that enable advanced extraction control. The optimal mode can be flexibly selected according to the barista's skill level and store operations. Manual Mode: A mode where the barista manually adjusts the pressure during extraction. Pressure profiles created in Manual Mode are automatically optimized by simply changing the finished volume and extraction time. Profile Mode: A mode that performs automatic extraction according to a pressure profile created in Manual Mode. By selecting a pressure profile and moving the paddle, the machine automatically reproduces the ideal espresso. AV Mode: A quantitative extraction mode that performs automatic extraction based on a fixed pressure value set for each group and a target extraction volume. Quality control can be performed using one of three indicators: "Pulse (flow rate)", "Mass (weight)", or "Brew Ratio (extraction ratio)".
