LUCCA Solo Flow Control Espresso Machine

The LUCCA Solo Espresso Machine with Flow Control takes the espresso-focused design of the Solo and adds manual control over the flow of water during extraction. Manufactured by Quick Mill in Italy, it features a commercial-standard 58mm E61 group head, PID temperature control, an integrated shot timer, a single brew boiler, and LUCCA's E61 flow control system for greater control over how each espresso shot develops.

The flow-control paddle allows the user to adjust water flow during extraction, making it possible to perform longer pre-infusions, gently extract lighter roasts, reduce flow toward the end of a shot, or create custom profiles for different coffees. Its 0.75 L insulated brew boiler and vibratory pump provide a traditional prosumer brewing experience, while an approximately 10–15 minute warm-up time keeps the machine practical for everyday home use.

A 2 L internal reservoir eliminates the need for plumbing, while the espresso-only design removes the steam system entirely for a compact and focused workflow. The commercial 58mm E61 platform also provides access to an extensive selection of precision baskets and espresso preparation accessories. The LUCCA Solo with Flow Control is an excellent choice for espresso enthusiasts who do not need milk steaming but want maximum control for exploring different roast styles, pressure profiles, and extraction techniques.
