A53 Mini Espresso Machine by La Spaziale

What is it?

The Baratza Sette 270 is a dedicated home espresso grinder with 40mm conical steel burrs. It uses a digital timed dosing system and a combination stepped and stepless grind adjustment system.

Who is it for?

For the home barista who wants a grinder designed for a home barista. Something that fits your space and your budget without sacrificing where it counts: quality, ease of use, and reliability. You want the ability to get repeatable shots from your favorite blend and then mix it up by single dosing a few different single origin coffees in a row, all with minimal waste and delicious shots of espresso.

Why do we carry it?

The Sette 270 is the best single dosing espresso grinder we’ve ever used, full stop. It’s also the easiest to clean. It’s designed for home baristas first, not adapted from a commercial design, which is why it has so many features we treasure. It works perfectly well with a full hopper, providing consistent doses using its timed dose system, but it truly shines when used for single dosing. Over a one month period, we used the Sette 270 to single dose with 11 different coffees without ever touching the adjustment dials, and got perfect shots with every single one. It’s this absurd consistency and ease of use that led us to have four in our classroom space for our Home Barista Classes. Whatever your home espresso needs may be, the Sette 270 will help you pull consistent and brilliant espresso shots that are as good in a cappuccino as they are straight.

What is it?

The Eureka Zenith 65E is a dedicated home or commercial espresso grinder with 65mm flat steel burrs. It uses a digital timed dosing system, stepless adjustment, and has a hands-free portafilter holder.

Who is it for?

The home barista who won’t accept anything less than true cafe quality, but doesn’t want to sacrifice ease of use and the ability to routinely clean without losing calibration. You want to pull rich ristretto shots with a grinder that won’t break a sweat and try single origin coffees knowing that you’re getting perfect clarity of flavor. Or, for the small cafe or coffee stand that needs an espresso grinder that can keep up with the rush, while making it easy to keep up with cleaning.

Why do we carry it?

The Eureka Zenith is a favorite here at Clive not just for its incredible speed, grinding a 20g dose in about 5 seconds, but also for being easy and satisfying to use. Eureka is one of few manufacturers that makes espresso grinders which can be cleaned without losing calibration, a convenience which can’t be understated. Its stepless grind adjustment dial is also ergonomically located right in front, making grind adjustments hassle-free. All this in a beautifully streamlined case and a clear digital display for your timed dose settings.

The simplest water softening solution for any reservoir espresso machine. Drop one of these in the reservoir for months of perfectly softened water.

The OSCAR softening pouch is an ionic exchange water softening pouch that can be used with any espresso machine running on a reservoir. The pouch replaces calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions. The OSCAR pouches are rated to last between 4-6 months, depending on machine use. We recommend checking the water from your group head every couple months to ensure the pouch is still active.

A quick and easy aftermarket shot timer for use on espresso machines with electronic group head 3-way valves. The perfect complement to our Lucca Direct-Plumb A53 or A53 Mini. We will install when added to a cart with an A53.

If you are tired of trying to quickly hit start on your iPhone timer each time you pull a shot, the Luminaire shot timer may be for you. Based on a simple electromagnetic sensor that attaches to the group head solenoid, the shot timer automatically starts the count as soon as the solenoid is activated. It works on most 120/220v group head solenoids. With a battery that is good for 4-7 years, this handy accessory has become a staple in the Clive office for use on our Linea Mini and Lucca A53s.

This optional chamber mimics the passive preinfusion you find on the venerable E61 group. The LUCCA A53 Mini and La Spaziale Mini Vivaldi II’s brew group is designed to make installing the preinfusion chamber easy and reversible. Instead of all the pump pressure flowing straight through the group head, the pre infusion chamber diverts some of the flow resulting in a gradual 6 second (not adjustable) ramp to full pressure. This saturates the coffee bed more gently to minimize channeling, making even extractions easier and shots more consistent!
