Hello

My name is Redi and I’ve been involved in the specialty coffee business since 1993. I am one of the Founding Partners of Saeco Ontario Ltd. Sales and Service Centre, which took Saeco Canada Sales and Service to the next level, and have had a love for outstanding espresso ever since. 

Because of my technical background as an aeronautical engineer and former Air Force Pilot, Commercial Pilot and Canadian Flight Instructor CFII, I thought that understanding the complexity of the machines was the most important thing in this business…..I was wrong.  Now I realize that the espresso coffee beans are the other half of the secret to getting the true Italian aroma and awesome aftertaste, and they are still well underrated

That is why I founded La Strada, to match the finest espresso machines with the finest beans, so that you can enjoy great espresso, the way it should be enjoyed.  We carry a range of pre-selected and hand-picked quality models of espresso machines for every budget and occasion coupled with only the best, low-acid espresso coffee beans in both our locations. Do come down, meet us and try them out.
