QUICK START GUIDE
A53 Espresso Machine by La Spaziale
Congratulations on your purchase of the LUCCA A53 Espresso Machine by La Spaziale! Here are
a few pointers to help get your machine up and running.
Installation
Please ensure you read the safety and warranty information before installing your machine.
Follow the instruction manual for installation and first use.
Water Quality
Take note of the water quality requirements for espresso machines. This is imperative for the
function and longevity of your machine. The water mineral content should be between 5 and
50ppm and the water must not be distilled, deionized or reverse osmosis treated.
Volumetric Dose Programming
The programmable volumetric dosing feature allows programming of the Single Cup and Double
Cup buttons to dispense set quantities of espresso.
Many users only pull double shots and program the double shot button for 1.5-2.0 oz for that
purpose. Then they program the single cup button for a larger amount for use in backflushing the
group or pulling shots manually. The beauty of the programmable dosing feature is that the
machine owner can be creative.
Programming Instructions:
1. With the machine on, press the Power button and keep it pressed for about three seconds;
the Standby light and the light indicating the set temperature will start flashing.
2. Fill portafilter with freshly ground coffee and press with a 53mm coffee tamper.
3. Attach portafilter to group head and place a measuring cup under the portafilter.
4. By pressing the Single Cup button the delivery starts and the 85-90-95 temperature
indicators light up to show that the one-shot espresso dose is being programmed.
5. When the coffee inside the cup has reached the desired quantity, press the Single Cup button
again to stop the delivery.
6. To lock the setting into memory, press the Power button once (do not hold). This will take you
out of programming mode.
7. Repeat steps above using the Double Cup button making sure you use freshly ground coffee
in the portafilter. During programming of the Double Cup button the 100-105-110 temperature
indicators will light up.
