Clive designed this machine exclusively for customers who care about shot quality, temperature stability, and the ability to experiment with flow control and pre-infusion, all in a footprint that fits most countertops. It's exceedingly rare for a machine at this price to deliver flow control, PID temperature control, and programmable features in such a handsome and compact footprint. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven though it is a single-boiler, the Tempo reaches steam temperature remarkably quickly and delivers the driest, most robust steam pressure of any single-boiler machine we've used. It's built for the home barista who pulls one or two drinks in the morning, appreciates straight espresso, and enjoys the ritual of crafting each shot with intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManual flow control paddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAdjust flow in real time during extraction to manipulate flavor and experiment with advanced techniques like declining pressure profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePID temperature control with shot timer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMaintain precise brew temperature for each shot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProgrammable pre-infusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSet custom pre-infusion duration to gently saturate the puck and improve extraction consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaturated group head:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThermally stable design borrowed from commercial machines ensures consistent temperature shot after shot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle boiler with vibratory pump\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGets to steam mode fast:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eYou still have to pull your shot first (becuase it's a single-boiler), but it gets to steam pressure faster than any other single-boiler on the market\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEco and standby modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eReduce energy consumption when the machine isn't in active use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide-loading reservoir:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEasily accessible to refill without needing to move your machine around\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LUCCA Tempo is built for home baristas who want to deepen their espresso practice. If you've outgrown a basic machine and you're ready to experiment with flow profiling and pre-infusion, this is your next step. It's ideal for solo baristas or couples who drink one or two espresso-based drinks per session and don't need simultaneous brew-and-steam capability. If you value a compact design, appreciate Italian build quality, and want a machine you can grow with for years, the Tempo fits the bill. It's also an excellent choice for the home barista who's considering a manual lever machine but wants the forgiveness of a pump and PID while still gaining hands-on control over pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"my-6\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"details\" class=\"my-4 text-caps\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ov-list prose-sm prose\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-boiler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaturated group-head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePID with integrated shot timer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlow control paddle (magnetized \u0026amp; removable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgrammable ECO \u0026amp; standby modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgramable pre-infusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrew boiler pressure gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibratory pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide-loading water reservoir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalnut wood steam rotary knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo-burn insulated steam wand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrew boiler: brass, .45L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReservoir: 1.8L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BH Engine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44404108623960,"sku":null,"price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/7733\/7944\/files\/LUCCATempoEspressoMachine.webp?v=1784552170","url":"https:\/\/bhengine.com\/products\/lucca-tempo-espresso-machine","provider":"BH Engine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
