Ascaso Dream with PID

The Ascaso Dream with PID, crafted in Barcelona, is a testament to a unique combination of elegant design and innovative technology. Boasting a retro exterior available in various colours, this machine leverages cutting-edge thermoblock technology, which Ascaso heralds as the future of espresso.
Key features of this machine include a side-loading water tank illuminated by a light, three airplane-style toggle switches for power, coffee delivery, and water or steam control. The PID situated below fine-tunes the temperature, and a pressure gauge is conveniently placed on the right. Safety is paramount with its double-walled steam wand. Moreover, the machine's compact design showcases a minimalistic drip tray and refined wooden accents.
Internally, the Ascaso Dream utilizes a thermoblock, presenting a marked advancement over traditional boilers. The machine's dimensions are 24.3 CM in width, 28 CM in-depth, and 34.5 CM height. In this video, we pair it with the Eureka Silenzio grinder and employ the provided aluminum tamper for the best results.
For programming, simply hold the middle button during extraction. Notably, the PID also serves as a shot timer. When craving lattes, it's best to steam the milk first, followed by brewing the coffee. For those who prefer Americanos, this machine guarantees a consistent water temperature.
Elegant and efficient, the Ascaso Dream with PID is a must-have for coffee aficionados. For further inquiries or insights into the world of coffee, reach out to iDrinkCoffee.com and don't forget to subscribe to our KZbin channel. Thanks for tuning in!

They need to make more machines like this with side water tanks. I think Ascaso is the only one.

[@baudelette]

Should not forget Quickmill. They have been out there for decades.

[@santiagof4]

What's the maximum cup height that can fit in this machine with the included portafilter? It looks pretty small. Other than that, it looks like an amazing machine!

[@georgiegirl1602]

Great demo and instructions. Thanks.

[@jaytaffer9641]

This video really helped me know what the buttons do! The manual is kind of dense.

[@thomasneddon]

Is there any technical difference on the dream Uno vs the steel Uno? Seems like quite the premium just for better looks

[@vgerster]

I believe that they are the same internals, different case. Also it would very costly for Ascaso to make two different specs of machine when the dream’s design is its main selling point.

[@falkom6]

The dark one - is it black, or anthracite?

[@stefdriver]

To get more powerful steam I let the pump run for a minute before opening the valve.

[@ShayanGivehchian]

Its a nice machine but definitely not worth 6 times more than a Bambino

[@JC-oh4mg]

True, that's because its only 2 times the price of a Bambino.

[@ShayanGivehchian]

@JC-oh4mg bambino in Canada is 350 this is 1800

[@Snip59]

Steam Pump is a joke not enough steam Pressure at all my Bellmen steam Frother does a better job.

[@Snip59]

Overpriced very much so its not made in Italy like a San Remo C which is far better and worth the price.
