Steel Uno PID

I just got a Micra. I went from gaggia to ascaso steel uno to Micra. Just go straight to Micra and skip ascaso if you can afford it. It works so amazingly well

These 3 are the top 3 reviewed entry level Italian made espresso machines. The ascaso steel uno and lelit mara x that I have cost way more than these 3. But I still like the gaggia e24 best haha

Sometimes better then from machine ;) I have pico and Ascaso Steel Uno And coffe from pico is better

The heat up of the Profitec is already rather fast. I never used a Ascaso Steel Uno but the few reviews I saw weren’t really glowing (not terrible but not as positive as the ones for the go). If I had the choice, I would go for the Profitec, again, if you don’t need the next to instant heat up. Edit

If you ask what I ended with Ascaso Steel Uno on sale $950. I would not get it full price. Don’t suffer from those issues. Biggest cons is price Where did you find that kind of price? It's like $1700 new!

Not yet mentioned here, I'd be tempted by an Ascaso Steel Duo PID--personally and at least in my mind, I would find it hard to go back and vary much from the Bambino's near instant-on capability. (But note that the electrical demands for the Ascaso Steel Duo can vary by country--in the U.S., a 20Amp
