Steel Duo

Got this straight from the Ascaso factory in Barcelona to Iceland, in a custom colour. Upgraded from a Steel Duo v2. We loved the Steel Duo and it served us well for 2 years, but this is a different beast entirely. The steam power is ridiculous, and the constant pressure from the rotary pump, with n

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

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

Have you considered any thermoblock machines? I just upgraded from my non-Plus Bambino to an Ascaso Steel Duo and it warms up so fast, I dont miss the near instant warm up of the Bambino. Just flip it on when I start dosing out my beans and by the time I prep the puck, the machine is more than ready

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

Could you swing for an Ascaso Steel Duo? Dual thermojets. When I “upgraded” from my Bambino I was so spoiled by the quick heat up time of the thermojets I ended up regretting a “nicer” boiler. Steel Duo has a thermojet steam wand so as long as you water you have steam.

I recently bought an Ascaso Steel Duo second-hand and I am happy. Since it was an older model, I got the steam upgrade (so that I have the turning wheel now) and from my first few weeks with the machine I have to say I'm really impressed with the build quality. If you can, I'd recommend you check it

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

I ended up going with an Ascaso Duo+ to stay boiler free and keep the super fast heat up time. Temp stability has been solid, steamer is much more powerful than the B+
