S T U F F : P R O D U C T S THE STRADA AV'S PATENTED SCALE TECHNOLOGY La Marzocco is bringing autovolumetric technology and experience to the next level, with Auto Brew Ratio on a Strada machine: the Strada AV. It's now possible to customize an espresso shot, controlling the extraction by volume, mass, or a brew ratio on the AV model. Such proprietar y advancement in electronics will provide a great educational tool when training baristas, since the user will know the precise dose in the cup, program the dose on the basis of weight in the cup rather than volume, and visualize the time (in seconds) and weight (in grams) on the display while brewing. www.lamarzocco.com MR. ESPRESSO'S AWARD- WINNING WORKA Mr. Espresso's Fair Trade and organic-certified Ethiopia Worka wears the 2017 Good Food Awards Seal with pride. The phenomenal taste of the coffee comes through a light roast that gives way to blueberr y, wild strawberr y, and Meyer lemon notes. Even strictly dark- roast drinkers have been known to rave over the taste. This award-winner is sourced from Gedeo ethnic, family owned farms of the Gedeb District, Ethiopia. The Gedeo people, whose land was confiscated in the late 1800s, were forced to work coffee crops as unpaid labor for their new landlords. It was over 100 years before their land was rightfully returned to them. Now, the Gedeo are working their own land again, and are proudly committed to producing organic heirloom beans in the birthplace of coffee. www.mrespresso.com 64 barista magazine
