LUCCA A53 Pro Espresso Machine

What is it? 

The LUCCA A53 Pro Espresso Machine is the most advanced version of the A53 platform to date, and the first of its kind. No longer are you required to choose between a reservoir or a plumb-in-only machine. You can pull your shot and drink it too. Bad coffee puns aside, the A53 Pro has its bona fides; designed by Clive Coffee and built on La Spaziale’s proven commercial foundation, the Pro adds thoughtful upgrades that make everyday espresso faster, cleaner, and more flexible. Increased cup clearance means fewer compromises on glassware. Brew lights and an integrated shot timer keep your workflow tight and repeatable. For the first time on an A53, the commercial 53mm spouted portafilter now accepts a triple basket, opening the door to bigger doses without workarounds. Adjustable steam pressure allows you to fine-tune the milk texture. At the same time, a switchable water source provides the flexibility between a reservoir and direct plumbing—a crucial feature for home baristas and commercial baristas alike. 

Who is it for?

The A53 Pro is for the home barista at any skill level who desires a proven and true prosumer machine. It’s built with the future in mind, allowing your barista skills to grow and blossom, so you can enjoy a true cafe experience at home without needing to upgrade—the A53 Pro is the upgrade-proof machine. Even better, the A53 Pro excels in low- to medium-volume situations, making it ideal for small cafés, coffee carts, food trucks, offices, or shared spaces that require commercial reliability without excessive bulk.

The A53 is the machine for you if you want:

• Consistent shots with volumetric dosing
• Adjustable pre-infusion (plumbed-in mode only)
• More headspace for larger cups and scales
• Consistent PID temperature control
• The ability to plumb into a water line or use the reservoir on the fly
• Commercial steam power with control
• Can run the machine in 20-amp mode for even faster heat-up and recovery (provided you have a 20-amp outlet)
• A machine with longevity that thrives under heavy daily use

Why did we make it?

We’ve fostered a special and enduring relationship with La Spaziale since the inception of Clive’s existence, with a keen focus on refining machines that bridge the gap between home and commercial use. The A53 Pro represents the next step in that evolution. Ultimately, we designed the A53 Pro because it solves real workflow pain points, cup clearance, consistent dosing, visibility, shot tracking, and dosing flexibility, without sacrificing durability or simplicity. It’s a machine that feels purpose-built, not overdesigned, and it delivers the kind of performance we expect from a true flagship.
