| 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. | LatteCrema variant of the Magnifica Evo — the automatic milk carafe delivers hands-free cappuccinos and lattes with no steam wand technique required. |
