Overview
In 1962, Jesus Ascaso founded the Ascaso Factory in Barcelona, Spain. The Ascaso enterprise kept on growing until it became a major brand in the world of home and professional espresso machines. It creates espresso machines and coffee grinders with long lasting components where durability and professional performance are the rule.
The term 'Professional' used by Ascaso signifies that the grouphead and portafilter accommodate 58mm diameter sized filter baskets like that found on commercial machines
The STEEL range is offered in a robust industrial bodywork that meets the requirements of the expert user. It is manufactured with the highest quality materials (aluminum, stainless steel, brass), and a minimum use of plastic. The standard version is equipped with a Ø 60mm filter holder and electronic temperature control.
The PID version provides a completely professional performance: externally adjustable OPV and a external PID display for temperature setting, adjustable pre-infusion, stand-by option and much more. A professional machine at Home!
