SEMI-AUTOMATIC [EE] TECHNOLOGY
In an aim to complete the Strada line of models, the Strada EE is characterized by its underlying mechanical and electronic features and design of the Strada. The initials "EE" refer to a feature whereby brewing is activated by the simple start & stop motion of the paddle on the group head, albeit with electronic pre-infusion. The Strada EE model includes proportional steam valves, both featuring anti-re-suction valves.
On the Strada EE, similar to the Strada MP and Strada EP, the group is operated using a paddle. However the mechanism for activating brewing on the Strada EE is different from the Strada MP and the Strada EP.
As the Strada EE paddle travels, a micro switch above the group cap is turned on. This micro switch engages the electric solenoid and the pump in the same way that other semiautomatic espresso machines operate. In simple terms, the paddle works like an on-off switch found in other “EE” models.
The Strada EE employs a two-stage, programmable pre-infusion process. First, the pump is engaged and water flows to the coffee bed for a programmed period of time. Next, the pump disengages for a programmed dwell period before the pump reengages for the duration of the extraction. The barista moves the paddle to the “off” position at the end of the extraction (based on visual, time, and other cues).
Two-stage pre-infusion allows for multiple groups to be in operation at the same time, regardless of the stage of the brewing process from one group to the next.
With the addition of the Strada EE to the Strada family, the family now features three different types of paddle technologies:
-
Stainless steel construction
-
Exposed groups
-
Individual boiler system
-
PID temperature control
-
Pre-heating system
-
Lcd display & jog wheel programming interface
-
Lever steam actuation
-
Adjustable hot tea wand temperature
-
2 or 3 groups
