The new La Marzocco Strada is designed with the barista in mind. For the first time, the coffee machine allows for absolute and direct control of pressure at any point during an extraction. The Strada comes with what is likely the most advanced pressure profiling system in the world today. Pressure profiling is very important because it allows the barista to tailor each extraction to bring out different flavor components, affecting the balance and body of the shot to produce a rounder, softer espresso. And in today coffee markets, where you find the widest selection of single origin coffees that are differently harvested, processed and roasted, such a profiling can deliver incredible results.
