La Marzocco, true to tradition, continues its endeavour to render its equipment user friendly and dependable, including the innovative and sophisticated technology of the Strada EP.

Indeed, the pressure profile editor, an online app (http://profileeditor.lamarzocco.com) that is accessible from all operating systems by using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browsers, has been ideated to enhance the operation of the Strada EP.   After registering the first time, Strada EP owners can login to a username, create pressure profiles, and download the profiles to a pc and finally save them on the Strada EP CPU to brew espresso over and over again, following the same pressure curve automatically. Key functions include:

• simple drag and drop to assign profiles to each of the groups on the Strada EP;
• with one click, a .zip file can be downloaded to program your machine;
• the zip file includes printable graphs, demonstrating specific profile programming;
• empowers you to log extractions brewed with the Strada;

Moreover, a new user guidebook, developed specifically for the professional barista, is now distributed with Strada EP machines. The guidebook aims to:

• lay the foundation on how to develop a pressure profile program for coffee shops;
• reiterate content delivered during Strada EP training;
• describe the variables involved during espresso preparation;
• provide guidance on which profiles are suitable for various types of coffee.
