Ascaso Steel duo plus vs Lelit Mara X V2 [3000$]
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

Kaufberatung Siebträger, 2000-2500 Euro
Nur als Denkanstoß, wenn du nicht komplett auf Boiler eingeschossen bist: Ascaso Steel Duo Pid Ist kein Boiler, aber Temperaturkonstanz auf selbem Niveau wie teurere Boiler und deutlich schneller aufgeheizt (3 Minuten). Die Modelle ab 2022 haben auch eine deutlich bessere Dampfleistung für Milchscha

No mess Workflow
I went from a PID Rancilia silvia to the ascaso steel duo. I had the silvia setup on a smart plug to turn it on before I woke up so it would be ready. With the steel duo it heats up fast enough that I dont need to do that. Otherwise, the temperature stability and steam performance (I have high amper

Ascaso Steel duo plus vs Lelit Mara X V2 [3000$]
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

Rocket Appartamento TCA / Empfehlung neue Siebträger
Wenn du eine eher Stromsparende Variante haben willst die nicht dieses Klassische E61 aussehen hat, kann ich dir die Ascaso Steel Duo wärmstens empfehlen. Zu deiner gewünschten Maschine und der Ascaso haben die Kaffeemacher tolle Videos. Ich finde die Tca macht leider keinen Sprung im Vergleich zum

What is the Niche Zero of espresso machines ? [no budget]
Quick Mill Silvano Evo, Rancilio Silvia Pro X, Lelit Elizabeth. Basically any machine with a dual heating element and flat pressure profile. I guess you could also say Ascaso Steel Duo for the quick heat up time.

Upgrading from breville bambino under [$2000]
If you like the convenience factor with the Bambino, I'd look at the Ascaso Steel Uno/Duo PID; also the Lucca Tempo at Clive Coffee.

ASCASO Steel DUO PID vs FELLOW Espresso Series 1
Short answer (my opinion): If you are more traditional or casual with your espresso then go with the Ascaso. If you are more creative or like to experiment with your espresso then get the Fellow ES1. Long answer (my reasoning): I’ve had the ascaso for 6 years now and it still makes excellent espress

ASCASO Steel DUO PID vs FELLOW Espresso Series 1
I've owned my Ascaso Steel Duo for 3 years and use it 1-2x daily. No experience on the Fellow but I love the Ascaso and have had no issues. Let me know if you have any questions!
