Strad Espresso Maker + SPU Preheating Unit Bundle

A professional-grade manual lever espresso system for home baristas and specialty coffee professionals.

The Strad Espresso Maker Bundle combines the purity and craftsmanship of manual lever espresso with the consistency required for daily professional use. By integrating the Strad Espresso Maker with the Strad Preheating Unit (SPU), the system delivers precise thermal stability while preserving the tactile, hands-on experience that defines true espresso craftsmanship.

Built around the industry-standard E61 group and engineered with a minimalist design philosophy, Strad gives the user complete control over every variable of extraction. Pressure, flow, and timing remain entirely in the hands of the barista, enabling a more intentional and expressive approach to coffee preparation.

The SPU brings a new level of consistency to the process by maintaining a stable brewing temperature before every shot. This controlled preheating ensures optimal thermal performance, making the system equally suited for discerning home enthusiasts, specialty coffee bars, and hospitality environments seeking a more authentic and transparent brewing ritual.

Precision-machined from high-quality materials using advanced CNC manufacturing techniques, Strad combines mechanical excellence with modern thermal management. The result is a lever espresso system that delivers exceptional repeatability without sacrificing the artistry, connection, and control that make manual espresso unique.

For those who believe espresso should be crafted, not automated.
