FAQs

What should I do if I don't get any brews on the Strada X ABR machines?
Check the settings of your machine to ensure that the "AV/ABR mode" is enabled in the La Marzocco Pro App.

When will the espresso machine status show as active?
It takes roughly two minutes for your machine to show as "Active", as the software waits for the first heartbeat message from your machine.
