Need to Know

The LUCCA Solo is an espresso purist's machine. No steam wand. No milk pitcher dance. Just a commercial-grade E61 group head, PID temperature control, and a shot timer — everything you need to pull exceptional espresso, and nothing you don't. Built exclusively for Clive Coffee by Quick Mill in Italy, the Solo is a single-boiler machine designed for the home barista who drinks espresso straight and wants total control over the extraction.

At $1,395, this is one of the most accessible ways to get an E61 group head and PID stability in a compact, reservoir-fed package. The 2-liter built-in reservoir means no plumbing required — just fill, heat, and pull. The walnut wood touchpoints (on black and stainless variants) add a handcrafted warmth that most machines in this price range skip entirely.

Key Features

  • E61 group head (58mm) — Commercial standard. Temperature-stable, forgiving on technique, compatible with every aftermarket accessory worth owning.
  • PID temperature control — Set your brew temp digitally and trust it stays there. No guessing, no temperature surfing.
  • Built-in shot timer — Track your extractions in real time. Dial in faster, replicate results consistently.
  • Vibratory pump — Quiet enough for morning pulls, reliable for years of daily use.
  • 2L water reservoir — Reservoir-only operation. No plumbing, no drilling, no commitment to a single counter spot.
  • Espresso-only design — No steam wand. If you don't steam milk, why pay for (and clean) hardware you'll never use?
  • Handmade in Italy by Quick Mill — Not mass-produced. Not dropshipped. A Clive-exclusive collaboration built to a higher standard.

Ideal For

The Solo is for the intermediate home barista who has moved past pod machines and manual lever presses and is ready for the control and consistency of a PID-equipped E61. It's for the espresso purist who drinks their coffee straight — no lattes, no cappuccinos, no milk drinks cluttering the workflow. It's for the minimalist who wants a compact machine that doesn't compromise on the fundamentals. And it's for anyone working with a serious grinder who wants their espresso machine to keep up without requiring a second mortgage.

If your counter space is limited, your coffee preferences are focused, and your technique is developing, the Solo is a centered, intentional choice. It won't do everything. It will do espresso brilliantly.
