LUCCA is Clive's house brand, built on La Spaziale bones, and the A53 Pro is the line's flagship. Saturated brew group, rotary pump, PID, customizable wood side panels, and programmable volumetrics for well under the price of a Synchronika II. If we were spec'ing a home bar for a discerning friend tomorrow, the A53 Pro would be on the short list every time.
What we liked and didn't
Pros
- Saturated group, rotary pump, PID
- Customizable walnut or maple side panels
- Excellent price-to-spec ratio
Cons
- LUCCA brand less well-known than ECM or Profitec
- No E61 character - saturated group is different
