Machine Overview

The Londinium Compressa is priced at $2,515 and is designed for advanced users, while the Lucca A53 Mini V2 is more affordably priced at $2,295 and caters to intermediate skill levels. Both machines fall under the semi-automatic category and are made from stainless steel. The Londinium brand is known for its high-quality espresso machines, while Lucca provides a model that balances performance with user-friendliness.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Londinium Compressa operates with a lever activation method and features a copper boiler with a heat exchanger system. It has a steam boiler capacity of 2.3 liters and takes approximately 15-30 minutes to heat up. The Lucca A53 Mini V2, on the other hand, uses button activation, has a nickel-plated brass boiler with a dual boiler system, and a steam boiler capacity of 1.2 liters, heating up in just 5-15 minutes. Its water source is a 2.4-liter reservoir compared to the direct connect system of the Londinium model.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, the Londinium Compressa offers pre-infusion and a simultaneous brewing and steaming capability but lacks any PID control or pressure gauges. Conversely, the Lucca A53 Mini V2 includes PID control with both degree control and a dual PID setup, along with boiler pressure and steam pressure gauges, enhancing precision in espresso making. Both machines support hot water functionality and come equipped with a steam wand, but the Lucca includes additional safety with an over-pressure valve.
