La Marzocco Strada X 1-group – Espresso Machine with Pressure Profiling by Weight
The shot is running, and you see the pressure curve progress exactly as you programmed it – linked to a target weight that the machine achieves automatically. The Strada X is the most technologically advanced machine in the La Marzocco family: the result of two years of work with thirty baristas worldwide, the "Street Team," to whom the Strada owes its name. The 1-group version brings this compact technology to the counter – for specialty bars, training, and competitions.
At Coffee Coaching Club, we are both La Marzocco partners and a coffee roastery – we provide configuration, installation, training, and service.
All Features at a Glance
Pressure Profiling by Weight
Pressure profiles can be linked to an adjustable target weight – using an algorithm developed by La Marzocco. This keeps the result consistent from cup to cup, even with unusual pressure curves.
Smart Saturation
The pressure sensors integrated into the group head automatically run through pre-infusion and fully saturate the coffee puck before the pump starts. This ensures water flows evenly through the puck – the basis for repeatable results.
Saturated Brew Groups
The saturated brew group maintains a very stable temperature cup after cup – the thermal backbone of every La Marzocco.
Separate Boilers and Pumps
A separate boiler for each group head allows for different brewing temperatures simultaneously, while a separate steam boiler delivers the desired steam pressure. An external pump provides constant pressure for Smart Saturation, and separate pumps allow for different pressure profiles in parallel.
PID Temperature and Pressure Control
Separate brewing temperatures for each group and steam boiler with an accuracy of 0.05 °C, plus PID-controlled pressure for custom pressure curves.
Straight-In Portafilter with Steam Purge
The portafilter is inserted straight rather than twisted – faster, gentler on the puck, easier on the wrist. The automatic steam purge cleans the group head after extraction.
Integrated Scale and Operating Modes
A scale integrated into the drip tray combines precise drip prediction with pressure profiles. Operation optionally in manual mode, via stored profiles, or in AV mode with a fixed target weight. Also features Pro-Touch steam wands that remain cool to the touch, and a Hot Water Economizer for precise hot water temperature.

Installation, Delivery and Service
The machine is produced upon order and comes from the factory without a plug. For professional commissioning and on-site warranty services, we recommend the installation package and the lime protection filter installation – both will be automatically added to your cart once you add the machine. Availability and delivery will be discussed individually with you after purchase. When you purchase a La Marzocco, a barista workshop for your team is included (at one location, up to three team members, German or English), plus Swiss warranty and support. Questions in advance via office@coffeecoachingclub.ch or by phone during business hours; personal consultation in Bern and Zurich.
What goes with it
You can find the right grinder for café operations in the Mahlkönig assortment, and care products under machine and grinder cleaning. Further La Marzocco products in the La Marzocco Collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does pressure profiling by weight mean?
Pressure profiles can be linked to a target weight. A La Marzocco algorithm keeps the result consistent, even with custom pressure curves.
What is Smart Saturation?
The integrated pressure sensor automatically runs through pre-infusion and fully saturates the puck before the pump starts – for even flow and repeatable extractions.
Who is the Strada X 1-group intended for?
For specialty bars, training, and competitions that want a single group with full profiling technology.
How long does delivery take?
The Strada X is produced upon order. We will individually clarify availability and delivery date with you after purchase.
Roastery Tip
A machine that drives pressure curves by weight invites experimentation – especially with lighter beans. As a roastery, we can tailor profiles to your operation, from chocolatey and round like our Cozy Chocolate to livelier, fruity cups. Talk to us. This is our recommendation, one of many.
