LUCCA Solo Espresso Machine

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 $899, 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.
