Steel Duo Plus

Okay results are in... But before that, here's my setup: Machine: Ascaso Steel Duo PlusBeans: Medium-Dark, Espresso RoastDose: 18g in/40g outPrep: WDT, single tamp Test Setup - Blind taste:#1.

A good thermoblock or a good thermojet (Ascaso Steel Duo Pid, Decent, Zuriga) will be as stable as a boiler machine.

Ascaso Steel Duo PID. Best decision so far. The controllable PID, the adjustable OPV and the big jump in steam power are a game changer. Shots are much tastier and way more consistent too. It probably won't be my end game setup, but as of now, I don't have any machine that triggers my upgradetitis.

I very honestly believe that in terms of espresso taste a modified Gaggia is top tier. The ability to do pressure and flow profiling opens up a completely new potential which most high-end machines cannot provide. I could only imagine that e.g. a Decent, Meticulous or San Remo You could be somewhat

Another Ascaso Steel Duo PID owner here, and another glowing review. Been a dream since day one, couldn’t be happier. Makes great coffee, very stable on back to back shots, quality of the machine feels nice and the tank is brilliant for refilling. All that, PLUS a few minutes heat up time? Hard to b

I have an Ascaso Steel Duo Plus on the way to replace it, but it will be retired with full honors. Not that you asked, but in

I had the same decision and went with the ascaso steel duo pid. I love it and highly recommend. It's very consistent and heat up time is very quick. Make sure your wiring supports the higher amperage needed or your steam pressure may suffer.

I‘ve seen so many videos about it that I didn‘t even bother trying it. From what I remember, the sensor is not at the best place so you can‘t really get consistent extractions. But I already knew I wouldn‘t use that feature before buying the machine. I prefer pulling every shot manually anyway. If I

This is a machine that’s been rated highly based on several comparisons. I have the Breville Oracle Jet and in retrospect wish I had gotten the Ascaso Steel Duo Plus. The Jet is OK but inconsistent and when you go to manual mode, it‘s hard to dial in. Also had to do a couple adjustments just to get
