"Have had this machine for two years now. It has never missed a beat or given any problem. Would buy again. We get so many compliments from everyone that comes over both on looks (we opted for wood panels) and taste. Great great machine."
The LUCCA A53 Mini espresso machine is custom produced by La Spaziale specifically for Clive, based on the reputable Vivaldi II espresso machine. This dual boiler machine is tank-only and has volumetric shot dosing. This machine has the option to include a shot timer and pre-infusion chamber. It also comes equipped with Bluetooth connectivity to sync with the S1 Timer App available on Apple App Store to program automatic machine heat up and cool down by date and time.
The LUCCA A53 Mini is for the home barista who wants a commercial experience. Its easy-to-use programmable features make pulling great shots and steaming milk back-to-back the perfect suitor for your next dinner party. If you want an espresso machine that offers commercial looks and power but need something to fit in your home, the LUCCA A53 Mini makes this easy with a small footprint and front-loading reservoir.
We saw a commercial machine with great in-home potential and turned it into one of the most versatile and well-loved home espresso machines out there. By updating the design and interface, we built a machine that makes pulling great shots easy and one we'd all be proud to have in our kitchen. We use this machine daily at Clive HQ in Portland and assure you it will stand the test of time.
