LUCCA M58 Sunto Espresso Machine

A close friend and avid home barista has used the pre-Sunto M58 for years and told me to trust this machine and trust Clive. He was right. I was fortunate to get the new Sunto version and my friend has tried my new machine and says the improvement are amazing.

For my first machine, I am spoiled with the M58 Sunto. I also bought the Mazzer Philos grinder with Clive guidance. I have the perfect set-up. Can't say enough about the Clive staff. They will get on the phone with you and help you with any question or issue.

Prior to this unit I had another Quickmill heat exchanger for 14 years. The unit was so well made that I decided to get another step up unit also by QuickMill Mill. Not only is this one built like a tank, but it has so much user friendly, forward thinking, convenient features built in. It has independent boilers that come up to full power very quickly even if the unit has been on for a while, and stepped down into power saving mode (which is a fantastic feature and can be adjusted or shut off). The unit exceeded my already high expectations after carefully reading and watching everything Clive had on their site. You could steam a full pitcher of milk, pull a shot simultaneously, and the unit is back to full power in around 90 seconds. It's such a pleasure to use with the joystick switches opening the steam to full power or hot water tap to full with just a nudge. The pump is so quiet, espresso sounds like rain dropping into the shot glass. Paired with a beautiful grinder, it pulls absolutely stunning espresso. Frothing milk to the consistency of silky liquid latex is quick & easy. And to top all of this off it has a polished finish like a mirror with beautiful accents. This machine is a pleasure and you could see how much thought went into its fine details. Very highly recommended.

love this machine!

Recently received the Lucca M58 Sunto. Wow. I flirted with the Lelit Bianca, which seemed (thinking Italian) like a Lamborghini. The Lucca Sunto is a Ferrari by comparison. It’s functional and beautiful, without being ornate. It’s lovely on the counter, and extremely well thought out. First pulls were perfect, having dialed in my grinder. It is such a delight to use a machine that does exactly what it promises. Many thanks to Clive.

Bought the Lucca M58 in 2018. Still going strong. Works and looks great. No complaints. Highly recommend.

The M58 is an absolutely beautiful machine! It has all of the features that I would want as part of an end-game setup. I purchased this as an upgrade to an ECM Mechanika V Slim, which I had also purchased from Clive many years ago. It has many quality of life features that my previous machine lacked. Notably, this machine can be plumbed in. I no longer have to pull out the machine to fill the reservoir located in the back several times a week. The dual-boiler and PID are also significant upgrades, as is the quieter rotary pump. Though it does have a much larger footprint, it still fits snugly on my countertop, underneath my cabinets, with room to utilize the cup warmer on top. I purchased the black model that comes with wooden accents. This machine also comes with a bottomless portafilter, which is not typical for a new machine and is usually a separate purchase. Although this didn't make or break my decision to buy it, I thought it was a great inclusion. I had once dreamed of owning a La Marzocco Linea Mini, I no longer feel the envy, as this machine truly meets my expectations and needs. I truly believe that this is the absolute best machine you can buy for the price.

It’s a great machine when it’s working but I’ve had to have it repaired twice because the pump motor seized up. I use it daily and clean it frequently. Now the LCD display has gone out and Clive Coffee refused to do anything to address it. I have an LCD alarm clock from the 80’s that still works fine. This display should not have failed after only a couple years. Seems like they chose parts of poor quality. It could have failed because of the heat behind it but they should have installed adequate heat shielding. My only option is to buy a replacement LCD from them, which is pretty expensive for what it is, and then have someone locally install it, also expensive, because the whole machine has to be taken apart to do it. To make it worse, the replacement LCD screen will only support 15amp power which means the machine will take much longer to heat up. I’ll probably just have it fixed and sell it if I can. Plenty of other good machines out there whose manufacturers will stand behind their products.

Bought the M58 with a Mignon Grinder in 2020 and it has changed my life :-) - the M58 is very easy to use and just really consistent. Great espresso, heats up pretty quickly, and easy to clean and maintain. Overall it's probably one of the best units for someone who is ready to invest in a double-boiler for the first time! Also - huge shout out to Clive Coffee service! i've had the machine in for a tune up just recently (after about 4 years) and they did an incredible job getting the m58 ready for the next 4 years!

Within 14 months of buying the M58, it had already broken down and needed service. Since we didn't have the original packaging materials and were not close to Clive, we drove it to a (somewhat) local shop for service. $275 and 8 weeks later, the machine is now working again beautifully. We didn't expect that, nor did we expect the ongoing maintenance associated with this high-end machine. While it looks great in our kitchen and makes a nice shot of espresso, we would not purchase again.

I used to buy Caribou or Starbucks every morning. This is so much better and less expensive!

I'm so happy I chose this particular Espresso machine. It has all of the expensive features that you need to have full control of your pull at a extremely fair price compared to other machines with the same features from other manufacturers. I firmly believe that Clive Coffee has put together a high quality machine with Lucca that can't be beat at any price, unless you want a higher level of an "automatic" machine.

Delivers as promissed and beautiful to boot

It’s been 4 months since purchasing and pulling shots for the first time at home. My lattes are so dialed in now even the best shops around town can’t beat my Lucca or is it the barista?? Hmm...I think a bit of both. Going full geeker has paid off. Purchased the Lucca M58 V2, Profitec Pro T64, St. Anthony twin set of distributor and tamp, Eddy pitchers, Oscar pouch, Pearl and Lunar scale, and Motta Knock Box. Have been using a bean from my best friends roasting company out of Miami called Eternity Coffee roasters. Can honestly report I’m making the best lattes I’ve ever had in my life. Home shots is the way to go. Not to mention the cost savings. Never knew how much enjoyment I would get and pride I would feel from pulling shots on the Lucca M58 V2.

Love this machine. We've had it for about a month and we make 6-10 drinks a day - a mix of lattes, espressos and americanos. It works flawlessly. Visually the machine is really beautiful - and it's really easy to keep clean.

The Lucca M58 is a beautiful espresso machine. I was torn between this and the Profitec Pro 700. In the end, I am glad I chose this machine due to the fact that it shares similar components, but the Lucca M58 has a touch more style. I can’t recommend Clive enough. They are a first class etailer. Don’t hesitate to buy from them.

I’m very pleased with the M58. The combo features for the price was the “whole pkg” for me. But that includes some things I didn’t “need”, but did want if I was going to spend the money to upgrade. Probably not an uncommon scenario for people. For about a grand less I could have bought a nice machine, but after having my last “good and functional but not awesome” machine for many good years, it was time to replace it, and if going to the expense and hassle I may as well get all that I want. Got it with the M58. Other element of note is the height. I chose the m58 for its merits, but it also was one of only a few that I could make work under my cabinet, with only minor wood-trim mod, vs a larger mod required or just not doable due to size for other models. Also nice that the Clive people know their biz. I’m no espresso genius or pro, but am used to getting no help at shops that sell stuff they don’t really know. At Clive it’s a relevant, helpful, and enjoyable conversation about the gear. I’ve had a number of machines over the years, including some classics, and some I’ve rebuilt, so it was a true pleasure to set up and use the m58 the first time.... outstanding. But I have not owned other machines in its class, so can’t speak about comparisons in that light.

Love the machine and the quality of expresso drinks you can make are excellent!!! The Clive team are awesome!!

biggest surprise was the joystick operation. The knob controls on my previous Expobar were good but the joystick is quite convenient . The steam wand is more efficient too. A beautiful machine. I just wish I could drink more coffee.

The M58 is impressive. It has all the power and beauty you could ever want. It delivers more than the competition in features for the price. The quality is amazing.

We love this machine. It is a huge upgrade to our previous machine. It is easy to use. Great fit under the cabinets. With the help of Clive Coffee videos, we are able to make amazing espresso.

Very simple to use. The quality of the build is outstanding. I enjoy making espresso everyday with it.

Love this machine! Highly recommend!

I've been VERY happy with my new machine. I had a Mini Vivaldi that I really liked for many years but wanted to upgrade. This machine has performed great and is actually more of an upgrade than I thought it would be. It's more substantial and sturdy and just seems more heavy duty and smoother in many respects. I also really like the look and feel. I think it's a great value for the money.

We have used a La Pavoni Professional for 24 years, and still love it. But this machine is so much easier and consistently turns out great cappuccinos. Frother is far superior so we could dispense with a separate milk frother. Appearance is elegant!

I made a LOT of research before buying this machine. It is my first prosumer espresso machine so I don't have much to compare it with however I am very happy with my purchase. I had it for a month now and must say that the process of making a latte every morning has become a very special ritual. I even started making something that is starting to look like latte art :) It is fun to learn with the help of such a beautiful and powerful machine. Also, customer service was great! Thank you Sean for all your help.

Pulls a fantastic shot and is exceedingly well-built. Clive couldn't have been more helpful. I'll definitely buy from them again.

Beautiful machine. I love the rotary pump and the steam and hot water control knobs are very functional. Clive did a nice job including a IMS shower screen and naked portafilter. Highly recommend
