The pinnacle of semi-automatic espresso machines for coffee professionals

Features

What is Strada X?

The "Strada X" is the pinnacle of semi-automatic espresso machines, designed for coffee professionals. Inheriting the basic performance of the previous "Strada EP" model, this flagship model is equipped with cutting-edge functions such as the Straight-in Portafilter, Smart Saturation, and Gravimetric Profiling. As the latest model in the Strada series, it combines the variable pressure system of previous models with innovative new features to maximize the complex and delicate flavors of coffee, while enabling high reproducibility and excellent quality control.

Straight-in Portafilter

A revolutionary system that allows the portafilter to be attached to the group head by simply inserting it straight in. By simplifying the attachment and detachment of the portafilter during espresso extraction, it reduces the burden on the barista's wrist and improves work efficiency. Furthermore, when combined with Auto Steam Flush (*), it helps keep 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 low-pressure pre-infusion in the initial stage of espresso extraction, and based on data obtained from the flow meter inside the group, it determines the optimal timing to increase pressure. When it detects that the coffee grounds are fully saturated, the machine automatically increases the pressure according to the pressure profile set by the user. This function enables more accurate and uniform pre-infusion than traditional time control, contributing to quality stabilization.

Gravimetric Profiling

A function that controls the pressure profile based on weight. A scale built into the drip tray measures the amount of espresso extracted in real time and automatically adjusts the pressure profile to match the target extraction amount. By having the machine handle the control of extraction amount and pressure, baristas can focus on quality control, mainly adjusting the grinder's grind size, making it possible to pursue original and high-quality espresso while stabilizing the extraction amount.

3 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 final volume and extraction time. Profile Mode: A mode that automatically extracts according to the 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 volumetric extraction mode that performs automatic extraction based on a fixed pressure value and target extraction amount set for each group. You can choose from three indicators: "Pulse (flow rate)," "Mass (weight)," and "Brew Ratio (extraction ratio)," allowing for quality control using your preferred method.
