NEW! Free Aluminum Ascaso Tamper Included! $59.95 Value! Dual-Sided Polished Aluminum Tamper for both 53mm and 57mm filter baskets.

Although 'professional' is in its name, the Ascaso Steel Uno is an extraordinary home-model espresso machine. The features found on no other machines in its price class are a) the low water cut-off switch under the reservoir when the water is low and b) the temperature gauge which helps users achieve repeatable results of espresso extraction by focusing in on the boiler temperature. This espresso machine is also satisfactory for a small office environment (approximately 5-10 people) where E.S.E. single dose pods need to be used.

There is approximately 30-60 second wait time to go from coffee mode to steam mode (after depressing the steam switch in). After steaming milk, the user can depress the steam switch out. After placing a cup under the steam wand, the user can rotate the steam knob to the on position, and the pump will automatically activate so that the 'too hot steamed water' exits and the temperature of the boiler can be brought down to make additional espresso.

This steam knob feature in coffee mode makes it very practical for preparing Cafe Americanos.

• Brushed stainless steel finished body over a black enamel painted steel frame.
• Water reservoir removable from top of machine after removal of water reservoir cover - there is a metal bar on top of water reservoir. this bar sits horizontally along the top of the reservoir and also holds two hoses - the longer hose is the intake hose with a particle filter on the end and the short hose which ends at the metal bar is the air release valve exit tube. If you purchase the optional water softener, the particle filter needs to be removed from the longer hose.
