Ascaso Steel Duo Dual Thermoblock Espresso Machine
Stainless Steel Body
Manufactured in stainless steel for maximum sturdiness, coated with a black enamel.
Thermoblock Technology
The thermoblock is designed of aluminum for fast warm up times and thickness for good temperature stability. Aluminum also avoids ‘pitting’ in cases where purified water is used. The inside pipe for which water comes in contact for heating is made of stainless steel. Another bonus? The thermoblock in this case is less prone to limescale build up from magnesium and calcium – limescale is a major factor in causing problems on espresso machines.
3-way solenoid valve
Allows you the ability to remove the portafilter immediately after brewing, turning your grinds into a puck, rather than a watery mess!
Quality brewing group
Made of chrome plated brass, the grouphead on the Ascaso Steel DUO evenly distributes heat and reduces hotspots for more temperature consistent espresso. It has also been designed to evenly distribute water across the coffee grounds for a better extraction.
Adjustable Over Pressure Valve
The ability to adjust the over pressure valve allows you to perfect your coffee to the flavor profile that is distinctly yours. The possibilities are endless!
1.3 L Water Reservoir
A microprocessor pulsates the pump so water in the reservoir continuously fills the thermoblock for continuous steam – until the reservoir runs near empty.
Versatility between different brewing methods
No conversion kits needed here! As of April 2014, Ascaso has combined the ground / pod system into one. Simply switch out the filter basket to brew with freshly ground coffee or E.S.E pods. Ascaso provides FOUR different baskets.
