LUCCA Tempo Espresso Machine
What is it?
The LUCCA Tempo is a compact, Italian-made espresso machine with all the essentials for home baristas who care about control, quality, and style. A Clive exclusive, it combines PID temperature regulation, real-time flow control experimentation, and shot precision in a beautiful stainless steel or matte black frame complemented with walnut accents. It has enough programmable features not to overwhelm and be über functional when you choose to use them.
Who is it for?
The LUCCA Tempo is for the espresso purist who values simplicity, control, and quality. The Tempo delivers if you prefer to pull shots one after the other and steam milk occasionally, or if you enjoy straight espresso and want to experiment with flow control and pre-infusion. It is ideal for home baristas who love the ritual of espresso and want to fine-tune every variable without compromising on space and price.
Why do we carry it?
We designed the LUCCA Tempo to strike a balance: compact yet capable, approachable yet refined. It has features we love, like programmable pre-infusion, a PID with shot timer, eco and standby modes, and manual flow control, all without unnecessary bulk or bloat. It’s crafted in Italy, thoughtfully finished. The Tempo hits the mark for those seeking quality craftsmanship and performance in a small footprint.
