La Marzocco Strada X AV 3 Group Espresso Coffee Machine

La Marzocco Strada X AV The Strada X AV represents the pinnacle of espresso machine engineering, combining La Marzocco's legendary craftsmanship with advanced volumetric technology. This dual-boiler powerhouse delivers exceptional temperature stability and pressure profiling capabilities, enabling baristas to extract nuanced flavours with precision. The AV (Automatic Volumetric) system ensures consistent shot volumes, while the intuitive interface streamlines workflow during high-volume service. Built with premium materials and Italian engineering excellence, the Strada X AV is engineered for specialty cafés demanding uncompromising quality and reliability. **Key Specifications:** - Dual independent boilers for simultaneous brewing and steaming - Volumetric dosing with programmable shot buttons - Advanced pressure profiling for optimal extraction - Commercial-grade construction with stainless steel components - Compact footprint suitable for café environments - Integrated water management system

Essential 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 unparalleled accuracy and repeatability.

smart saturation

• By automating the preinfusion stage based on backpressure sensed in the grouphead, 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 dialed in. Smart Saturation is the backbone of the Strada X, representing a new way of looking at coffee saturation and pressure profiling, with a focus on consistency, repeatability, and workflow.

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 channeling. By programming real-time pressure ramping into the software, baristas can see exactly how their newly created profile runs as they’re pulling a shot in Manual mode.

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 groupheads, straight-in portafilters are a complete reimagining of the most repeated task in espresso preparation.

independent boilers

• Grouphead specific boilers allow for simultaneous custom brew temperatures while a separate steam boiler delivers on-demand steam pressure.

independent pumps

• An external pump provides stable pressure for Smart Saturation while grouphead specific pumps can run unique simultaneous pressure profiles.

pid temperature control

• Set independent temperatures for each grouphead and steam boiler accurate to 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit.

pid pressure control

• Fine tune the temperature of the hot water spout.

saturated groups

• Ensure unsurpassed thermal stability, shot after shot.

manual, profile, and av modes

• Create pressure curves manually, save them to repeatable profiles, or set a custom pressure and target weight in AV mode to optimise your workflow.

steam flush

• Automatically cleans your grouphead between shots to increase barista speed.

drip tray scales

• Pair the extremely accurate Drip Prediction algorithm with pressure profiles to deliver unprecedented shot consistency.

pro touch steam wands

• High performing steam wands that are cool to the touch.

hot water economiser

• Enables you to fine-tune the tap water temperature for rinsing.

expansive drip tray

• Increases a barista’s work space with extra room to stage cups and cleaning cloths.
