    Overview

    Watch Video on Making Tampers

    The Pear Alto gets its name from the pear pipe shape and the Italian “alto” meaning tall. The standout feature of this tamper is its feel in the hand. The smooth neck tapers gradually toward the head where it swells gracefully to fit into the palm. Because the handle is taller than the average tamper at about 3 ½ inches, the Pear Alto will be particularly well suited for baristas with larger hands. Complementing its pragmatic side, the Pear Alto’s light, high-contrast finish displays the captivating characteristics of briar particularly well. I really like the melding of bird’s eye and flame grain on the head and the great representation of bird’s eye in general on this piece. The Pear Alto combines style and function in a great package that will help you enjoy the art of making espresso even more than you already do.

      $19,000.00

      Few advancements in espresso machine technology over the past fifty years could be called revolutionary. The latest advancement featured in La Marzocco's Strada Electronic Paddle (EP) is one that has earned that title. Pressure profiling was first introduced into the mass market in 2009 by the Slayer Espresso Machine. The La Marzocco Strada takes this new technology to the next level by allowing the barista to save up to four pressure profiles at any given time. Along with the ability to save profiles, each group has a digital display that shows the temperature (±0.1°C), shot time, and current bars of pressure (±.1 Bar). The Strada perfectly combines the durability and workmanship of La Marzocco with the technology of the future.

      For most companies it's hard to find motivation for pushing out new products if you find yourself on top already. This is not, however, the case with La Marzocco. The Italian based espresso machine manufacturer continues to push the envelop when it comes to innovations in espresso machine technology. The newest line from La Marzocco continues their progression in the specific areas of temperature stability and pressure profiling. We've discussed the Strada Electronic Paddle version in detail in our Strada EP blog post and listing for the 2 Group Strada EP. The Strada Mechanical Paddle employs technology similar to the Mechanical Paddles on other La Marzocco models but with a few new features including individual pressure gauges, digital PID control, and dedicated group boilers.
