About The Brand
We think of Ascaso as that high-quality brand that makes retro-inspired espresso machines in fun colors to compliment your kitchen and glorious professional machines for bars and cafés. Based out of Barcelona Spain, Ascaso was born from a man who spent the first 10 years of his career manufacturing spare parts for espresso machines so it was only natural that he borrowed this deep knowledge of the working components to make espresso machines. All Ascaso equipment is handcrafted with special attention to detail using high-quality materials. The final product is thoroughly tested for quality assurance passing a 25 point inspection: that's passion for making good espresso. Your morning routine just got more reliable and a bit more cooler.

Ascaso Dream PID Automatic Home Espresso Machine - Kid Blue Review Summary
What people like
Pros
- Rapid Heat-up Time: The advanced thermoblock system allows the device to reach optimal brewing temperature in just a few minutes.
- Precise Temperature Stability: An integrated digital controller provides users with exact control over water temperature for consistent coffee extraction.
- Elegant Retro Design: The handcrafted aluminum body and walnut wood accents offer a distinctive look that stands out from standard stainless steel appliances.
- Professional Portafilter Size: The inclusion of a standard 58mm group head ensures compatibility with a wide range of high-quality aftermarket accessories and baskets.
- Externally Adjustable Pressure: Users can easily fine-tune the extraction pressure via an accessible valve without needing to disassemble the unit.
Cons
- Small Drip Tray: The limited capacity of the drainage tray requires frequent emptying and can lead to spills if not handled carefully.
- Sequential Milk Workflow: Because it uses a single heating element, users cannot brew coffee and steam milk simultaneously, adding time to latte preparation.
- Tight Cup Clearance: There is relatively little vertical space under the group head, making it difficult to fit larger mugs or scales during extraction.
- Loud Vibration Pump: The internal pump produces a noticeable amount of noise during operation which may be distracting in quieter environments.
