The height of the machine is 34 cm and is therefore easily adaptable to any space in the kitchen.

It s a venerable machine for sure but a bit long in the tooth and seemingly fetching more money than it is worth this is not to say it isn t capable of great espresso. Ascaso has a tradition of professional quality machines and parts. The grinder is infinitely adjustable which is great but can take a lot of messing about to find the perfect. Finding the perfect espresso machine can be hard work especially for espresso enthusiasts who are looking for a machine with all the right features the right build and high end performance.

Great cappuccino microfoam is also achieved with surprising ease. What ultimately swayed me to the ascaso was the dual boilers as well as the free grinder and accessories that came along with it. The ascaso dream coffee machine has a body finished in polished aluminum with rounded edges that gives it a pleasant style avoiding the square appearance of classic coffee machine models. In the right hands these machines can make a very robust espresso including an impressive crema.

Manufacturer of coffee machines and grinders in barcelona. This product has been in our review database since november 4 2003.

Since it doesn t do an auto shutoff for 1 or 2 shot pulls i just purchased a kitchen timer to keep my pulls in the 30 35 seconds range. It s also cooler looking even though it s plastic a quality black look and takes up less space. The possible learning curve is really the only drawback i can forsee with these machines. I also purchased an ascaso mini grinder which makes for a perfect pairing the two machines next to each other look stunning.
