Description
 
In 1962, Jesús 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.

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
  • Construction
    The Ascaso Steel DUO Professional comes wrapped in beautiful as well as durable brushed stainless steel finished housing. The machine measures 10 5/8" W x 13 1/2" H x 12 1/4" D and weighs 26.5 lbs.

    Easy To Use Controls
    This semi automatic espresso machine allows the user to extract espresso just at the push of a coffee brew button. The control panel is simple and easy to operate. Independent steam thermoblock with separate on/off power switch is located on the lower control panel and the steam activation switch is on the top right side. Independent water activation switch (lower right of top front panel) activates a separate valve for hot water through its own water pipe.

    Dual Brass Boiler Heating System
    The Ascaso Steel DUO Professional includes two brass boilers to enable you to brew espresso and froth milk at the same time. The 325 ml brass boiler for coffee and hot water houses a 1200-Watt heating element to bring the machine up to brew temperature faster than any other machine with such a large boiler. The second boiler- brass thermoblock provides instant steaming/frothing capabilities on demand and at the same time of espresso extraction. This thermoblock can be set to always be on or can be switched off to save energy when milk drinks are not needed.

    Commercial Size Portafilter and Filter Baskets
    The DUO Professional uses heavy-duty chrome plated brass portafilter holders and spouts. The machine comes equipped with 58 mm filter baskets to make it easier to find a quality tamper that suits your taste. The Ascaso Steel DUO Professional includes 2 stainless steel filter baskets- separate single shot and double shot filter baskets for ground coffee.

    Temperature Gauge
    To control the temperature and get the most out of your coffee, the machine is also equipped with an easy to read temperature gauge that lets the user adjust the temperature range of the coffee boiler.

    3-Way Solenoid Valve
    The three-way solenoid valve is a commercial feature that not only directs the flow of water from the boiler to the brew group, but also relieves the water pressure off the coffee when the brew switch is turned off. The valve dries out the used ground coffee in the portafilter immediately after the brewing is finished. So you can straight away remove the handle, easily knock the dried coffee out and reset of the machine for another shot.

    Milk Frothing
    Another striking feature of the DUO Professional is its commercial grade stainless steel steam wand with milk froth-aid attachment to create loads of foam for cappuccinos with hardly any effort on your part. The machine also includes an optional three-hole milk frothing tip that helps you create café-style drinks. The steam wand is conveniently located on a swivel joint to accommodate frothing pitchers ranging from 12 oz. to 20 oz. in size.

    Air Release Valve
    The Ascaso Steel DUO Professional features an air release S-2 Autoprime valve to remove air that may be suctioned up with the water from the reservoir.

    Removable Water Reservoir and Drip Tray
    The 2-liter water tank of DUO Professional is removable for easy cleaning and refilling. You may refill the water tank any time during the operation or remove the tank to refill at your tap. The drip tray also slides forward for easy cleaning.

    Accessories
    The Ascaso Steel Steel DUO Professional comes with a detailed instruction manual, filter handle with dual spouts, 58mm single cup basket, 58mm double cup basket,  3-hole milk frothing tip, single hole milk frothing tip, quality dual-sided tamper (57/53mm) and a measuring scoop.
