Ascaso Steel DUO Versatile Office Espresso Machine Brushed Stainless

Today's Ascaso Steel DUO Versatile OFFICE Espresso Machine Brushed Stainless is comprised of a 225mL brass boiler specially designed to deliver the best extraction through its easy to manipulate button on the lower control panel, which automatically activates the thermoblock to provide steaming and frothing services while espresso extraction is being done. It saves electricity by enabling the user to operate on espresso mode only, with only 15 minutes to wait for the boiler to warm up after the power is turned on. Unlike other machines, the Ascaso Steel DUO Versatile OFFICE Espresso Machine has two pumps and a boiler/boiler configuration or a boiler/thermoblock configuration, which enables steaming and extraction to take place at the same time. The two pumps are independent of each other and are dedicated solely for espresso extraction and steam production. This machine was specifically designed to fit in an office environment, where E.S.E. pods are commonly used.

Features

• Includes E.S.E. Pod Adapter
• The Ascaso Steel DUO Versatile OFFICE Espresso Machine Brushed Stainless is semi-automatic, allowing the user to depress the coffee brew button to start and stop espresso extraction.
• The steam pipe comes with a protector to avoid burns when touching the steam wand.
• The portafilter can be instantly removed once the coffee button is depressed to the off position because of the installed three-way solenoid valve.
• Controls are easy to learn as the steam activation switch is located on the top right of the top panel while the steam thermoblock has a separate on/off power switch on the lower panel.
• The machine is equipped with a drip tray which slides forward for easy cleaning and a drip tray cover which is not removable.
• To control the temperature and get the most out of your coffee, the machine is also equipped with a temperature gauge that lets the user adjust the temperature range of the coffee boiler.
• To avoid damage to the heating elements in the machine, the Ascaso Steel Duo TRONIC Professional has a sensor that determines water levels in the water reservoir.
• To remove air that may be suctioned up with the water from the reservoir, the machine has a special S-2 Autoprime valve that automatically releases the air.
• The swivel steam pipe contains a frothing aid to help create good froth for cappuccinos. A three-hole tip is also included to replace the frothing aid.
