Ascaso Steel UNO Programmable Espresso Machine w/PID Controller, Single Thermoblock, 120V (Inox)
The Ascaso Steel UNO has a vintage industrial look that is both beautiful and stunning so you won't be tucking this appliance out of sight. It's also easy to clean after each use and customers have shared with us that it's a pleasantly quiet espresso machine for home use. Water is stored in a tank that is easy to fill and the boiler will heat up before you’re even done brushing your teeth. In fact, if you’re looking for a machine that manages temperature better than other machines on the market then we recommend any Ascaso for that matter since the PID feature takes out all the guesswork. This is a great entry-level machine for working from home or the office and is used by baristas for its professional steaming capabilities.
