Ascaso Steel DUO PLUS PID

Yes. Because the Steel DUO PLUS features a dual-thermoblock system, you have independent circuits for brewing and steaming. This means you can pull your shot and texture your milk simultaneously without any wait time between tasks.

The machine uses independent PID controllers for both the coffee and steam circuits. This allows you to adjust the temperature in one-degree increments, ensuring you can dial in specific roast profiles with high consistency.

No. The thermoblock technology is designed for rapid heating, so the machine is ready to brew much faster than a traditional boiler-based espresso machine. It is an excellent choice if you want cafe-quality espresso without waiting 20 to 30 minutes for the unit to stabilize.

Yes, the OPV is externally adjustable. This is a significant advantage if you want to experiment with lower-pressure extractions or need to fine-tune the pressure to match specific coffee beans or basket types.

The machine features a 100% food-safe stainless steel water path, which reduces scale buildup compared to copper or brass. Additionally, it includes a programmable automatic cleaning mode to help keep the internal components in good condition with minimal effort.

Yes, the machine offers volumetric programmable settings. You can set your desired shot volume, allowing for consistent, repeatable results every time you brew without needing to manually stop the pump.
