Ascaso Steel Uno vs Ascaso Steel Duo
Other popular Ascaso coffee machines include the Steel Uno and Steel Duo models. The main difference between them is that the Steel Duo has a double boiler, while the Steel Uno has only one boiler.
TheAscaso Steel UNO has a single circuit, which consists of a thermoblock and primarily heats up to the temperature for brewing coffee. In order to use steam, you must switch to steam, i.e. activate the temperature rise of the system.
Wait until the system has heated up and sufficient steam has been generated. Steam can then be used to whisk milk, once the milk has been whisked the system must be cooled again to espresso mode.
TheAscaso Steel DUO has two independent circuits making it what is known as a two boiler system. It offers not only maximum comfort of use, but also perfect control over the system and perfect thermal stability.
There are two separate circuits in the coffee machineand each has its own heating element. It is therefore possible to independently adjust the temperature of the espresso water and the temperature of the water in the service thermoblock.
