FAQs
Is this machine suitable for large offices?
Yes. It performs best in environments with 100–500 employees. For offices larger than that, we recommend a 3-group machine.
Does it require a water line?
Yes. The Strada is a direct-connect machine and needs a dedicated water line.
How often should maintenance be scheduled?
Basic cleaning is performed daily by baristas. Full maintenance, including gasket and steam wand replacement, should occur every 6 months.
