Ascaso Steel DUO portafilter coffee machine

Ascaso Steel DUO portafilter espresso machine with or without PID temperature control

Steam circuit can be switched on separately - 25% more steam power - PID continuously variable from 110 - 165 °C

Ascaso, the espresso maker from Barcelona, ​​builds classics with a twist. The Steel Duo has two completely separate thermoblock heating systems, each with an independent vibration pump. A separate system for the coffee and a separate one for steam production. This makes the Ascaso Steel Duo a real "dual-circuit machine" that brews the espresso and allows milk frothing at the same time. The Ascaso Steel Duo is constructed in the typical counter design and has rough edges. Thanks to the rapid thermoblock heating, the Steel Duo series is ready for use very quickly, impresses with its easy handling and a very good espresso in the cup. An Ascaso Duo can be recognized by its unique design. All Ascaso machines shine with great surfaces. The housing of the Steel series is made entirely of stainless steel and the matte finish is high-quality and elegant.

The ascaso Steel Duo PID is the top model in the Steel range. In addition to all the advantages of the Uno PID, there is also a separate steam circuit. Thanks to the latest technology, this is so optimized that you don't miss the conventional boiler. The steam can be adjusted to the exact degree using the PID control from 110º to 165º and has 25% more power than the previous model. The steam can be easily regulated using the rotary dial - so the ambitious home barista can produce the optimal milk foam. The straight-lined aesthetics of the machine also visually underline the modernity offered here in a perfect way.

Difference to the Steel Uno basic machine

• dual-circuit system with 2 separate thermoblocks
• Electric thermostat control for high temperature stability (PID version)
• Manometer with temperature and brewing pressure display
• Hot, extremely dry steam and the non-stop
• Active cup warmer
• LED illuminated work area (PID version)

Inner values ​​- Temperature-stable, high-quality espresso machine with quick start system

In order to achieve high energy efficiency and operational reliability, Ascaso consistently relies on its own designed thermoblock heating system. Instead of a large boiler, the required water is heated by a special continuous flow heater. The system uses significantly less energy than machines with large water boilers. All of the water-carrying components of the Steel Duo are made largely of tempered stainless steel, which minimizes deposits and makes cleaning easier.

Abundant steam for milk foam Whereas in boiler systems the volume determines the amount of steam, the Ascaso Steel also impresses with its rapid thermoblock system and long-lasting power. The gentle and rhythmic hum of the Ulka vibration pump accompanies the steam production. This also makes it possible to create a fine latte-art milk foam.
