The A53 Pro is built for you.

Walnut and maple images feature the magnetic wood panels and the wood touch points, both available as add-ons above.

"This machine is beautiful, and one of my new favorite machines. I've had many commercial machines, and this one is top in quality. It's half the price of a Linea Mini, and can pull back-to-back shots no problem. I'm using it on a coffee cart!"

Need to Know

The LUCCA A53 Pro is a dual-boiler prosumer espresso machine that refuses to compromise. Designed by Clive Coffee and built on La Spaziale's commercial foundation, it's the first A53 that switches between reservoir and direct plumbing without tools or downtime. That means you can plumb in your machine when you're ready, or move the machine between locations without rethinking your entire setup. It's the machine small cafés, coffee carts, and serious home baristas have been waiting for: commercial reliability, residential flexibility, and none of the bulk.

Under the hood: independent steam and brew boilers with PID control, a rotary pump for whisper-quiet operation and adjustable pre-infusion (in plumbed mode), and a 53mm commercial group head. Increased cup clearance accommodates scales and larger mugs with ease. The Integrated brew lights shot timer keeps your workflow visible and repeatable. Adjustable steam pressure lets you dial in your steaming for whatever drink or milk you choose. The Volumetric dosing keeps shots consistent, whether you're pulling two or twenty. The iOS La Spaziale app lets you program a daily on/off schedule, so your machine can be ready to pull shots before you even step out of bed. 

Key Features

  • Dual boiler system: Independent brew and steam boilers mean zero wait time between brewing and steaming
  • Rotary pump: Quieter operation, adjustable pre-infusion in plumbed mode 
  • Switchable water source: Use the internal reservoir or plumb directly into a water line. No permanent commitment. To plumb in your machine, you need the LUCCA A53 Pro Direct Plumb Kit (sold separately). 
  • PID temperature control: Dial in your brew temperature to the degree 
  • Commercial 53mm group head: Saturated group head for thermal stability
  • Integrated shot timer and brew lights
  • Adjustable steam pressure: Fine-tune your milk texture for different dairy and plant-based options with ease
  • Increased cup clearance: Fits a scale and your favorite cups, with ample space.
  • Volumetric dosing: Program 2 separate shot profiles and let the machine stop automatically
  • 20-amp mode available: Faster heat-up and recovery when plugged into a 20-amp circuit
  • Drainable drip tray: Optional via our LUCCA A53 Pro Direct Plumb Kit if you want the convenience of never having to dump your drip tray

Ideal For

Home baristas at any skill level who want a machine they won't outgrow. Small cafés, coffee carts, food trucks, and offices that need commercial durability without the size or power requirements of a multi-group machine. The A53 Pro thrives in low-to medium-volume environments where reliability and flexibility matter more than sheer throughput. Anyone planning to plumb in eventually, but not today. Start with the reservoir, plumb in when you're ready.
