| Description | The Ascaso Steel Duo PID uses two independent thermoblocks — one for brewing, one for steaming — to allow simultaneous espresso and milk frothing in a compact chassis. Made in Barcelona, it features a commercial 58mm portafilter and PID control for both circuits. | Compact single-boiler machine with an insulated 0.45 l brass boiler, ring group, PID and a profiling valve to vary brew pressure from pre-infusion to the end of the shot. It has a shot timer, programmable pre-infusion, eco mode and a side water tank. |
