La Marzocco Strada X 2-group – Espresso Machine with Pressure Profiling by Weight
The extraction runs, 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 technically advanced machine in the La Marzocco family: born from two years of work with thirty baristas worldwide, the "Street Team," to whom the Strada owes its name. Two groups for high-demand specialty coffee operations.
At Coffee Coaching Club, we are both La Marzocco partners and coffee roasters – 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 sensor integrated into the group head automatically goes through pre-infusion and fully saturates 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 groups maintain very stable temperatures cup after cup – the thermal backbone of every La Marzocco.
Separate Boilers and Pumps
A separate boiler for each group head allows different brewing temperatures simultaneously, and a separate steam boiler delivers the desired steam pressure. An external pump provides constant pressure for Smart Saturation, while separate pumps allow different pressure profiles to run 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 slides straight in instead of twisting – faster, gentler on the puck, and 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 is available in manual mode, via saved 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 ships from the factory without a plug. For professional commissioning and on-site warranty services, we recommend the installation package and lime scale filter installation – both are automatically added to your cart when you add the machine. Availability and delivery will be discussed individually with you after purchase. The purchase of a La Marzocco includes a barista workshop for your team (at one location, up to three team members, German or English), plus Swiss warranty and support. For questions beforehand, please contact 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 range, and cleaning products under Machine and Grinder Cleaning. More La Marzocco products are available 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 performs pre-infusion and fully saturates the puck before the pump starts – for even flow and repeatable extractions.
Which type of operation is the Strada X 2-group suitable for?
For specialty cafés with high demands for profiling and repeatability. Two groups allow for parallel work.
How long does delivery take?
The Strada X is produced upon order. We will discuss availability and delivery date individually with you after purchase.
Roastery Tip
A machine that uses pressure curves based on weight invites experimentation – especially with lighter beans. As a roastery, we can match profiles to your operation, from chocolatey-round like our Cozy Chocolate to more vibrant, fruity cups. Talk to us. This is our recommendation, one of many.
