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

If La Marzocco is the Ferrari of espresso machines, what is your machine like?

Oof. I don’t know cars. I have an Ascaso Steel Duo PID. Feels like a less-considered fancy car

Time for an upgrade [Budget $2,500]

I'd check out the Ascaso Steel Duo Plus Espresso Machine. Great espresso and quick heat up time. At about $2.100 it's just under budget too...

Would yall say I’ve upgraded or downgraded?

The Jura is plastic dogshit that is practically impossible to service. A borderline disposable machine. The Breville is probably your best of the lineup but not by a lot. My gut tells me you shouldn't bother with an E61 like a Rocket or a Lelit Mara. There is too much to get lost in the weeds with t

Rancilio Silva price increase?

With the exception of Ascaso machines. A year ago it was cheaper for me to buy an Ascaso Steel Duo PID in the U.S and pay the customs duty and shipping than buying here in the UK and Europe. I just looked and prices have gone up in the U.S on Ascaso machines but it's between £1800 - £2000 (cheaper p

Mittelklasse Empfehlung

Hi,muss es neu sein oder geht auch was gutes gebrauchtes? Wenn neu:Hier könnte ich mir zB eine Lelit Mara X (1000€) vorstellen. Bzgl. der Mühle wäre gerade wenn ihr nicht so viel Kaffee trinkt eine Single-Dosing Mühle wie zB. die DF64V am besten - das ist zwar vom Workflow nicht ganz so bequem wie e

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

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.
