Over the course of my coffee career I've watched certain features of espresso machines go from the peak of price points, to widely accessible by nearly any budget. For example, flow profiling and programmed pre-infusion have become less of a gold standard, to more of just a standard. And those features are why I was curious to give the Lucca Tempo, a modified Quick Mill Pop-Up, a once over.
