About
Designed by Clive and built by La Spaziale, the LUCCA A53 Direct Plumb is a plumb-only, dual boiler espresso machine designed for small cafés or those wanting commercial power in the home. With Bluetooth connectivity and volumetric programmability and adjustable pre-infusion, it offers both coffee shop aesthetics and repeatability.
La Marzocco took an already almost-perfect home espresso machine (based originally off of the Linea Classic...their wildly popular commercial machine seen in countless cafés around the world) and made it even better. The Linea Mini Reimagined (also referred to as the Linea Mini R) is a dual boiler machine with massive steam power, excellent temperature stability, and impeccable design, and now features:
