ASCASO Dream PID Espresso Machine polished aluminum

A high-end espresso machine manufactured in Barcelona

The Dream is the iconic model of the ASCASO brand, whose coffee machines were designed for home use since 2000. The Dream PID offers more features than the original Dream.

Without altering its retro aesthetic silhouette or its chromatic universe, Ascaso equipped the Dream PID with advanced technology to obtain the perfect cup at home. This machine relies on premium materials (aluminum, stainless steel, brass) and minimal plastic use.

The PID version delivers professional performance : 58 mm diameter stainless steel portafilter and filters, externally adjustable OPV, external PID display for temperature control, programmable pre-infusion, stand-by option and many other advantages. All Ascaso Dream espresso machines are hand-assembled in Barcelona, with a fully aluminum body. After polishing, the machine receives a high-quality varnish (identical to that used in Formula 1 and on boats)

The advantages of the ASCASO Dream PID espresso machine

The Insulated Thermoblock developed by Ascaso is made of aluminum and stainless steel. This rapid heating system offers several benefits:

- The water remains pure, as it is renewed with each coffee. The aromas and flavors of the coffee remain intact. The absence of stagnant water in the boiler, constantly reheated, preserves quality.

- Thermal stability and cup quality: thanks to its large capacity and internal pipe exceeding one meter in length. Everything is optimized by electronic temperature control (PID).

- The AISI 316 stainless steel water circuit that prevents any metal migration into the water.

- Less limescale buildup: the stainless steel circuit is easy to clean and limits limescale formation.

- Continuous steam supply with stable pressurefor a fast heat-up time and optimal thermal stability.

The PID allows control of several parameters :

- Extraction temperature
- Steam temperature

- Theadjustable pre-infusion(from 0 to 5 seconds)
- Thedigital displayalso serves as a timer for extraction

This machine has anadjustable OPVas well as a3-way solenoid valveallowing depressurization, which will make your coffee puck drier. Pressure can also be controlled via the gauge located on the front panel.
