The Lucca A53 Mini by La Spaziale is, at least on paper, a proper home barista workhorse. It claims to bring consistent, reliable, and repeatable cafe quality espresso home at a competitive pricepoint. But words at cheap, so in this week's video I'll be getting my sticky barista paws into this espresso machine to see how it lives up to the claims.

![Blind Burrs | Do They Live Up To The Hype?
Over the last few years a new version of burrs has become all the rage, blind burrs and the thought behind this is not only a more cutting surface area, but also more effective cutting, that leads to a more consistent grind size distribution. But thats a lot of words, so thought it may be time to do dawn the lab coat once again, and do some tests to see if its real or rhetoric.
