Of course! The Strad Espresso Maker is compatible with group E61 portafilter. You can also use the shower and silicone gasket from the same group.
The Strad Espresso Maker has been designed to last for many many years. However, in some cases even metals can suffer some type of aesthetic deterioration over time. We offer a ten-year warranty on steel and aluminum parts in case of breakage.
Strad Espresso Maker, SL., is a limited company founded in Barcelona, Spain, and is responsible for the production and marketing of the coffee maker of the same name.
The Strad is a manual lever machine. Its essence is the completely artisanal production of coffee. We have not included an electric preheating unit because we consider that in practical terms it is not necessary.
Preheating in the Strad usually takes between 40 and 60 seconds. However, in order to take advantage of the preheating done by an electric unit, it is necessary to wait between 7 and 15 minutes. Some YouTubers recommend up to 20 minutes.
On the other hand, it has been shown that machines with electric preheating units require a change of O-rings with some frequency if intensive use is made.
However, if at any time we decide to make an electric preheating unit, you can be 100% sure that we would develop an add-on that can be easily adapted to the existing Strad model.
The thread of the group where the pressure gauge is placed is 1/8.
Yes, you can use a T splitter with the following characteristics: 1/8 male thread for the group, 1/8 female thread for the Strad pressure gauge, and the necessary thread for the digital sensor model you have.
If it is a Pressensor, simply indicate that you want it for a Strad, and they will provide you with the appropriate adapter.
There is no need to maintain your Strad Espresso Maker. To clean it you can pour hot water and then let it out by lifting the lever as is done during pre-heating. Additionally, you can clean the shower screen with a cloth after each use. This is all!
The O-ring usually lasts for many years. However, if you have to replace it, simply remove the screws that hold the connecting rod with the lever and remove the piston.
We know that some types of manual lever machines, due to the design of their mechanism, usually have the lever facing up. However, this is not necessary on the Strad.
The natural position of the Strad lever is downward. This eliminates unnecessary movement of having to lower it to pour the water. It also prevents the piston seal from sliding without being lubricated by water. However, the most important thing is that if you have placed the filter holder with the coffee, when you lower the lever without water, the air crosses through the coffee, weakening the the coffee puck and causing possible channeling.
For everything explained above, remember: when you start the lever it is down. When finished the lever remains down.
Don't forget to drain the rest of the coffee before removing the portafilter. This will make the coffee puck practically dry.
