The Ferrari of Coffee Machines

Making espresso can be a high art. We believe that, and that is why we take an interest in the people and technology that push the limits of what is possible.

Yesterday early evening, this writer was introduced to the Stratta E.P., a precision-engineered machine built in Florence, Italy by La Marzocco. I was at the Sweet Leaf cafe in Long Island City. Christian, a barista and manager there, offered to let me take photos from behind the counter, and then demonstrated to me the store's pride and joy.

The machine, built in Florence, Italy, has a very responsive engine.

This is the premier model from La Marzocco. One indicator is its translucency. You can view the gears inside.

Thank you for the tour, Christian. We will provide more details about the Stratta in a revised post.
