Coffee enthusiasts who are troubled by limited kitchen space won't have to worry anymore. The Ascaso Basic espresso and cappuccino machine was specifically designed to fit in space-challenged kitchens.

It has an excellent steaming ability and can brew perfect blends tailored to your taste. Its performance is like no other as it can make espresso drinks including lattes, mochas, cappuccinos and your other favourite coffee drinks.

Beyond its simple and compact frame is its ability to hand you the reins in the simplest way ever. The Ascaso Basic has easy to use controls and holds a sturdy pump, a ground coffee holder, an espresso pod holder, an efficient heating element for making hot water and steaming milk, a special milk frothing tip, a detachable water tank, a cup tray, cup warming surface and a removable drip tray.

Designed as a medium-priced espresso machine, the Ascaso Basic is compact, versatile and reliable. The Ascaso Basic is enclosed in a special ABS plastic housing and comes in two colours to choose from, black for sleek, masculine kitchen and white for bright, sunny kitchens.

Features

• Easy to use features. Your coffee experience begins with a simple touch of a button, enabling the flow of espresso until you have the desired amount of coffee. These buttons in the control panel are not only durable, but also easy to understand as they are logically arranged to enable easy manipulation of the machine. Lights are also used to indicate power and temperature levels.
• High Quality Brewing Group. Composed of chrome plated brass and uniquely designed after Ascaso’s commercial espresso machines, the Dream group head reduces hotspots by distributing heat evenly and distributing water evenly over ground coffee, resulting in consistently brewed espressos.
• Heavy Duty Coffee Holder and Filter Baskets. The Dream machine also uses heavy-duty chrome plated brass coffee holders with a rugged plastic handle, the same kind used for commercial brewing so you know you have high quality equipment inside your machine. Additionally, you get single-shot and double-shot 57-mm diameter stainless steel filter baskets for ground coffee (you can add more coffee for a stronger, more aromatic blend) and pod basket for single dose ESE pods.
• Large-capacity water tank. The Ascaso Basic is equipped with a removable 2-liter water tank with a water level indicator. The tank can either be filled while operating or taken out to be filled at the faucet.
• 16 BAR Water Pump. More pressure means more flavourful coffee and the Dream machine gives you just that— aromatic, rich coffee brewed by a powerful 16 BAR water pump.
• Drip and Cup Trays and Cup Heaters. Cleaning up is a breeze with the polished stainless steel drip pan and chrome-plated steel cup tray. The machine is also equipped with an innovative scratch-resistant cup-warming surface that keeps your coffee warm even after poured into the cup.
• Brass Boiler. The heat distributing brass boiler won’t make you wait too long for the temperature to rise. Three thermostats monitor the espresso, steam and boiler to keep temperatures in optimal levels and prevent overheating.
