Ascaso Steel DUO PID White&Wood

Lever coffee machine with 2 independent circuits, 2 thermoblocks

The STEEL UNO PID Black&Wood has two thermoblocks. Therefore, there is no need to heat the coffee machine to the desired temperature to use steam. This saves the precious 2 minutes during which the coffee machine would have to heat up and generate sufficient steam. This is of course reflected in the higher price. However, you do get a coffee maker with a PID thermostat and electronic steam control. You can enjoy your cappuccino without waiting immediately.

Coffee machine for home and office use with vibrating pump

The vibrating pump is the most common type of pump in home, lever and automatic coffee makers. It is a significantly cheaper technology than a professional rotary pump. The optimum pressure for espresso preparation is approximately 9 bar and for vibrating pumps we calibrate to approximately 10-11 bar.

However, vibrating pumps come from the factory with a capacity of approximately 15-20 bar. So how do you get the machine to be set to the desired lower pressure? By using the OPV pressure relief valve that every coffee machine with this type of pump must include. A vibrating pump is noisier than a rotary pump and a coffee machine with a vibrating pump cannot be connected directly to the water supply. However, this is not so necessary for home and office use.
