Know before you buy
The dual-boiler system allows you to brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously without any temperature loss. This significantly speeds up your routine, especially when making multiple milk-based drinks back-to-back.
The 53mm portafilter is a signature feature of the LUCCA A53 line, designed to provide excellent heat stability and a deep puck for even extraction. While it differs from the standard 58mm size found on many commercial machines, it is highly effective for home use and offers a consistent, café-quality result.
Yes, the machine features Bluetooth connectivity that pairs with the S1 Timer App. You can program specific on and off times for each day of the week, ensuring the machine is fully heated and ready for your first shot the moment you walk into the kitchen.
Yes, the water reservoir is front-loading, meaning you do not need to move the machine or reach over the top to refill it. This design is ideal for kitchens with low cabinetry or limited counter space.
Pre-infusion gently saturates the coffee grounds with water at a lower pressure before applying full pump pressure. This helps prevent channeling and creates a more even extraction, resulting in a sweeter, more balanced espresso shot.
The 'No Burn' articulating steam wand is designed with an inner tube that keeps the exterior cool to the touch, preventing milk from baking onto the wand. You should still purge and wipe the wand immediately after every use to keep it clean and sanitary.
