La Marzocco Strada AV 2 Group + Mahlkonig EK43ST Grinder (Free)

Overview:
La Marzocco Strada AV (2 Group) Espresso Machine

Strada – Over the course of two years La Marzocco worked with thirty of the world’s finest coffee professionals to design a machine. This group was known as the “Street Team”; the Strada, Italian for street, was named in their honour.

Featuring iconic Italian design and user-friendly interface; the Strada has always been evolving over time based on barista feedback.

Within the Strada family, the Strada AV is the choice for customers who appreciate the familiarity of volumetric controls, and who seek repeatability and consistency in high-volume settings.

With the reliability one expects from time-tested La Marzocco equipment, the Strada AV delivers the most stable brewing platform thanks to its thermal stability system and individual coffee boilers.

The La Marzocco Strada AV Coffee Machine, designed in consultation with professional baristas over a period of two years, provides a more user friendly and intuitive experience. Its lower profile invites customer engagement in a cafe setting, while also providing the barista an open, expansive work area. The initials

Mahlkonig EK43ST Grinder

The performance and grinding results of the established EK43 but in a smaller space-saving grinder.
