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!

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.

The machine brew lever would randomly fall starting about 3 months after I got the machine and then stopped doing so about 5 months later without any work. Much much harder to avoid shots spraying everywhere when they pull than the ECM classika I had previously. The machine is fine, but for the price I'd explore other options.

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.

Our M58 has remained rock solid now for 4 years. Set up on a timer, ran through a Mavea C50 filter, this machine has run non stop making 4-5 doubles a day. We make lattes every morning, then make a few for our clients at our Marriage and Family Therapy Practice. Can’t say enough good stuff about this machine. Thank you Clive Coffee!

This machine makes great espresso and is as beautiful as a piece of art, unfortunately mine stopped working in 7 months. I spoke with the repair department and ran the troubleshooting steps they recommended (which required some level of disassembling of the machine) and when those didn’t work I brought it in for repair. I now lack confidence in this beautiful machine as I wait to hear what the problem is.

I bought my Lucca M58 9 years ago and have used it almost twice daily except for when we are away on vacation. No problems whatsoever after all these years. I can't recommend it enough. The grinder is also 9 years old and still grinding! The machine is built like a tank.

I bought this machine in January, 2016. My husband and I use it every day. It works perfectly now the way it did the day I unboxed it. I love this machine. :-)

Absolutely loving my Lucca. The unit feels and looks great. Upgraded from a Gaggia Classic Pro and the difference is blindingly different. Double boiler, quietness of the rotary pump, direct plumbing. This thing is an absolute work horse and has brought the fun back to making coffee at home. Highly recommended for anyone ready to enter the prosumer grade.

I was head over heels about getting this machine. Now it’s my second unit. The first unit overheated the coffee brewer. I bought this machine in December 2021, That January I replaced it for another and use it every single day. It makes a wonderful cup of espresso. I have noticed about 4months ago, it easily runs out of steam, and my coffee is never hot enough even though the temperatures is up to snuff. I noticed that the temperature rises to 220° when it first starts up I find that rather strange it seems too hot by at least 15°, the machine is not consistent. It’s beautiful it’s built like a tank but nothing worth consistently. When I get some money together I’m going to sell this machine off as it still works the way it supposed to apparently, not happy with it.

Great looking machine and very quiet as well !! I’m so happy with the purchase so far I almost have it a month .

Overall the Lucca M58 has been "ok". It is my second espresso machine, and I wanted to get a solid machine that will last me a long time.

Unfortunately, I had an issue after only 3 months. My machine suddenly started steaming out of the drip basket as if it had overheated. After a bunch of research I discovered that the vacuum seal had broken and this was resulting in the boiler going above 2.5 bar of pressure (not good).

Clive warranty did not include having a local mechanic fix it, nor did it include expedited shipping for the replacement part. They indicated that warranty only covers the part itself with ground ~5 day shipping, or shipping the machine back to their office in Portland (which makes no sense to me, these things are heavy and not easy to ship). I ended up taking the machine apart and fixing it myself - I guess the vacuum seal breaking is common because they have a support video showing how to replace it? Thankfully the replacement part that they supplied did fix the issue so far after a few uses.

I'm hoping that the machine lasts longer than 3 months until the next breakage. Only other complaints are that the steam wand knob is squeaky and feels cheap, the water reservoir is annoying to take in and out with cabinet overhead, and I wish there was some sort of indicator that the reservoir needs replacement or that the drip basket needs dumping.

I am happy with the machine, thank you.

Had the Lucca M58 since March 2018 and my wife and I love it! Very well constructed, makes excellent espresso and great steam wand. Also the Clive Coffee team is outstanding and helpful. Paired with a Fiorenzato F4E grinder which has done well 6500 shots later.

Love it - no complaints

I purchased the Lucca M58 over a month ago. The machine was shipped promptly and the Clive team was very responsive to all emails. I was a beginner, having only used a super-automatic Breville Oracle that broke down after 3 years. I went through all the excellent videos available on the Clive web site on how to pull shots and steam milk. Within a couple of hours I started pulling great shots using the Eureka Mignon Specialita grinder and have now reasonably mastered most aspects of the M58 machine. Incredibly well made and an absolute pleasure to use. Family and guests now put my espresso drinks above those of the local coffee shops. Extremely satisfied and expect to enjoy it for decades to come :)

Bought my LUCCA M58 the end of December 2017 and still in love with her! She has operated flawlessly and produces incredible shots.

Reading all the 5-Star reviews should tell uou something about this great machine and also something about the great team at Clive Coffee. The decision to buy should stop here.

The beauty of the machine equals the performance. 5 years later and I see no reason to upgrade.

Thank you Clive for helping me make my decision so long ago. I cannot recommend you any higher as a company!

I've had the machine for 20 hours. I know you'll think it's too soon for a review but it actually isn't. The sheer quality of all the components alone will tell you, this is no toy. I'm a total coffee nut by nature since I was seven years old. I grew up in a large Sicilian family who loved food, wine, and coffee. I've had the best coffee's from all over the world personally and must confess The last three shots I pulled were the best I ever tasted in this category: espresso/latte. The Lucca M58 is impressive to look at in it's masculinity and commanding presence. My last trip to Rome Italy left me remembering the coffee I had there, that was three years ago. So, I decided I needed a good espresso machine, and I found Clive on Google. I also found Whole Latte Love. I went easily with Clive for their selection, knowledge, and the wonderful Chat! Won me over hands down and sent me the best machine to start my Journey with, the EMC Casa V. I discovered that with a lot of patients, I learned how to pull a darn decent shot comparable to some of the better coffee I had in Europe. years later, enter the Lucca M58. Talk about arriving! After familiarizing myself with the Lucca an hour later it arrived I pulled my first shot. It wasn't the best as i was not ready for the power difference! Seven shots later and quite wired..lol, I arrived at what I believe is the best latter and espresso i ever had! No smoke here.. just steam.. I'm absolutely serious. It arrived in 20 degree weather so it was cold! It took 40 minutes to warm up so everything was ready including the group head which is the last to heat up. Not too shabby! This morning it took 20 minutes to heat up from room temp 71 degrees. I made my husband some tea with the great water nozzle and he was impressed. Two stones with one bullet! I've has three lattes this morning and the last one was the best! I have to mention, the joysticks are totally the way to go so precise, quick and the included bottemless portafilter and double spouted one plus the very decent wooden handled tamper. Buy this Machine! I'm so happy I did.

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