Ascaso Steel Duo Proffesional with free Grinder
$899.00
Ascaso Steel Duo Professional Espresso Machine Overview: This is the newest Ascaso espresso machine brought into the United States. This machine offers a 325mL brass coffee boiler for superior espresso extraction, and the there is a button on the lower front panel (hidden behind the steam wand in picture above). this button activates the thermoblock which provides instant steaming/frothing capabilities on demand and at the same time of espresso extraction. Hence, this machine can be used in espresso only mode to save electricity. The steam boiler button can always remain on so when the power is turned on, the steam boiler will warm up with the coffee boiler. Good warm up time is approximately 15 minutes. This espresso machine is unlike other machines with a boiler/boiler configuration or a boiler/thermoblock configuration which only have one pump. When there is only one pump, the user can only extract espresso or steam milk. These other machines can not do both at the same time because they only have the one pump which will not create enough pressure for espresso extraction when steaming at the same time. Since the Ascaso Steel Duo has two pumps, one is always devoted to espresso extraction and one is always devoted to steam production. Features: This is the semi-automatic version where the user depresses the coffee brew button to start and stop the espresso extraction Steam pipe protector so one does not burn his/her fingers when touching the steam wand. Three way solenoid valve allows the instant removal of the portafilter handle once the coffee button is depressed to the 'off' position Independent steam thermoblock with separate on/off power switch (lower panel) and the steam activation switch is on the top panel, top right Independent water activation switch (lower right of top front panel) which activates a separate valve for hot water through its own water pipe slides forward for easy cleaning Drip tray cover is not removable Temperature gauge of coffee boiler allows you to hone in on best temperature range for your espresso coffee There is a sensor to monitor low water level in the water reservoir. This helps avoid damage to the heating element in the boiler S-2 Autoprime valve acts as an air release valve to remove air that may be suctioned up with the water from the reervoir Frothing aid on swivel steam pipe helps in creating good froth for cappuccinos Accessories Included: filter handle with dual spouts, 58mm single cup filter basket, 58mm double cup filter basket, plastic tamper (57mm), instruction manual and quick start guide. Specifications: Approximate measurements: 10 5/8" W x 13 1/2" H (in front including bar) x 12 1/4" D (steaming can be performed from the front or the side of the machine as the steam arm swivels) removable water tank: 2 liters (0.53 gallons) Bodywork: brushed stainless steel Recommended tamper size: 58mm Weight: 26.5 lbs.

Warranty: One year parts and labor limited to manufacturer's defect. Notes: The instructional manuals for Ascaso are printed for worldwide distribution and covers almost every model produced worldwide. With this in mind, there may be features, accessories, or colors available in Ascaso equipment in other countries, but not available in our models produced for the United States. Temperature gauge - the temperature gauge on the front of this machine should be used as a relative guide on how to make the best out of your espresso machine. Since temperature measurement is a science, a comparison with measuring water at the grouphead will definitely yield different results. Please note there is no rail across the top rear of the machine as shown in the picture. The reason is that it can impede the opening of the water reservoir cover. In the first picture below, you can see the large rund brass boiler that adds to temperature stability, and the oval brass thermoblock provides continuous steam and can powered on/off independently of the coffee boiler.
