Steel Duo Plus

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.

Ascaso Steel Duo all the way, it's a more capable machine and consumes significantly less energy. The v2 offers solid steaming power, not as powerfull as a dedicated boiler, but more than capable of steaming silky milky. Regarding QC, Lelit has it's issues, certainly after the acquisition by Brevill

4 months into my Ascaso Steel Duo PID Plus ownership here. Here are my pros and cons: Pros Fast heat up. 5 mins with the portafilter in the group head and a quick flush = ready for business Can pull a shot and steam at the same time Fantastic back-to-back consistency Engaging u/x with the clicky swi

Biggest annoyanc

Wish I had gotten the Ascaso Steel Duo Plus also and not just for looks. I also like all the features and accessories it comes with. I opted against it because there was some question as to whether the amps and even the plug would be compatible with the house. I also read about a loud knocking noise

I am extremely happy with my Ascaso Steel Duo PID - coming up to 3 years of ownership. My only real gripe is the steam wand is a bit short. Not an espresso machine but I did buy a Felllow Aiden which failed after about 4 months. I had absolutely no response from Fellow customer support, and my retai

I have the Ascaso Steel Duo PID v2 and I think it’s worth it. But I also specifically make alot of milk drinks in addition to straight espresso shots for myself. The temp stability is phenomenal in my opinion. I also came from a Bambino when I upgraded to the Ascaso and for the espresso, it makes mu

I was considering the Ascaso Steel Duo Plus but some things discouraged me; the plug that you need an adapter for (why in the world would a new machine not be plug-in ready??), the rattling noise while heating up for steaming, the top of the machine is slanted sending the cups towards the back and t
