Ascaso Steel Uno Professional PID Espresso Machine

Not just your ordinary home espresso machine, the Ascaso Steel Uno Professional PID Espresso Machine allows you to change the temperature of the coffee boiler, enabling it to perform more consistent extractions. The machine is perfect for small offices comprised of five to ten people, where E.S.E. single-dose pods are commonly used. Upon depressing the steam switch in, you will only have to wait for around 30-60 seconds for the machine to go from coffee mode to steam mode. You can rotate the steam knob to the on position after placing a cup under the steam wand. The hot water switch must then be depressed, enabling the pump to activate and let the steamed water exit, thus lowering the temperature of the boiler. The machine is also equipped with a three-way solenoid valve that relieves the pressure on the filter basket after you depress the coffee switch to off. It also creates a dry puck after the extraction to avoid the explosion of coffee grounds after a cycle.

Features

• PID Temperature Programming. Equipped with an advanced temperature programming, the machine allows you to change boiler temperature through the easy to understand digital display and control panel located in front of the machine. It also has three selection switches--power on/off, espresso extracting, and coffee/steam mode.

• Heavy duty brass boiler. The brass boiler can hold up to 325cc and is located directly over the brass grouphead to ensure temperature stability.
• Three way solenoid valve. The machine is equipped with a three-way solenoid valve that enables you to remove the filter handle after the espresso extraction is done. It also allows grouphead backflushing.
• Easy frothing. The machine is equipped with a swivel-based steam wand that enables easy swiveling over 20 oz. steaming pitchers. The frothing aid also enables you to froth milk for perfect cappuccinos.
