Product Description
The flagship of the Ascaso line, the Dream espresso machine is unique. It may even be a conversation piece on your countertop. When you combine it's retro style looks with modern technology, the Ascaso delivers. Recently updated (therefore the "UP"), it now features a 3 way solenoid valve, adjustable overpressure valve, and an aluminum tamper. This versatile machine can use either ground coffee or single serving espresso pods. Not too big and not too small, this machine fits in to any kitchen decor. Make your favorite lattes, cappuccinos or any coffee house drink you choose with ease.
Detailed Features Include:
Simple Switch Controls
Three professional-grade switches make this machine a cinch to use. The center switch is the power switch which, when flipped, starts heating up the boiler. The switch to the far left controls the steam function and the switch to the far right controls the coffee brew. A series of indicator lights let you know when the machine is powered up and at the proper temperature for brewing espresso or frothing milk.
Frothing Tip for Perfect Cappuccinos
The frothing wand will have you making creamy froth for your cappuccinos in no time at all. This stainless steel steam wand is mounted in a swivel joint, which make it easier to froth milk and conveniently swings away for easy cleanup.
Pressure Gauge
To help ensure a proper espresso extraction, the front-mounted pressure gauge monitors the brewing pressure.
Brewing Group
This high quality chrome-plated brass grouphead is designed after Ascaso's commercial espresso machines. It ensures that heat is evenly distributed and reduces "hotspots" which make for a more temperature-consistent espresso. It also ensures that water is evenly distributed across the espresso grounds for a better extraction, i.e. a better tasting espresso!
16 Bar Water Pump
This 16 bar pump has the power to force water through coffee grounds thereby producing an impressive espresso. This is more than enough pressure for an excellent extraction.
Heavy Duty Coffee Holders & Filter Baskets
The Dream uses heavy-duty commercial-grade coffee holders which are chrome-plated brass with plastic handles. There is a coffee holder for ground coffee and one for espresso pods. A single shot and double shot stainless steel filter basket is included. The larger basket allows the user to use more ground coffee for a stronger espresso or coffee.
48 oz. Water Tank
A large 48 oz. water tank, which is equipped with a water level indicator, can be filled while on the machine or removed and filled at the sink.
Drip Tray and Cup Heater
A stainless steel drip pan and chrome-plated cup tray are easy to remove and clean. To keep your espresso cups toasty, there is a scratch-resistant cup-warming surface on the top of the machine. (Nothing makes espresso cold as fast as cold cups!)
Brass Boiler
The brass boiler gets up to temperature quickly and stays there, with a fast recycling time. There are 3 thermostats which control the temperature of the espresso, the steam, and one that specifically monitors the boiler to protect it from overheating in the event the machine is left on for extended periods of time.
Aluminum Construction
Ascaso had longevity in mind when they constructed the Dream. Made of corrosion-resistant aluminum, then finished with a chip-resistant enamel paint, this machine will not rust thanks to the aluminum body. All components that make up the construction of this machine are designed for long life and low maintenance.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Your machine must be periodicially cleaned in order to keep it running in good condition. Scale buildup from naturally occuring minerals in water can damage sensitive components such as the inside of the boiler, and if left unchecked, can cause considerable damage. By descaling your machine every 2-3 months, your machine will be trouble-free for years. Even if you have a sophisticated water filtration system, descaling and general cleaning is highly recommended, and especially is you use well water.
