Ascaso Steel Uno Professional Brushed Stainless Steel Espresso Machine

There is approximately 30-60 second wait time to go from coffee mode to steam mode (after depressing the steam switch in). After steaming milk, the user can depress the steam switch out. After placing a cup under the steam wand, the user can rotate the steam knob to the on position, and the pump will automatically activate so that the 'too hot steamed water' exits and the temperature of the boiler can be brought down to make additional espresso.

Also, the three way solenoid valve operates to relieve the pressure on the filter basket immediately when you depress the coffee switch to off. This prevents the 'explosion' of coffee grounds that is normally found on home espresso machines without three way solenoid valves. The solenoid valve on this machine also assists in creating a dry puck after the extraction (please note there are certain coffees, grinds, and amounts of coffee that will make a wet extracted puck which no three way valve will help).

Features:

• Brushed stainless steel finished body over a black enamel painted steel frame.
• The UNO has the thermometer dial and water is added manually.
• Dual system temperature control for coffee brewing and steam/frothing.
• 16-BAR pump pressure.
• Boiler machine has a external heating element to provide greater capacity (325 cc) to the boiler and longer life preventing lime, calcium or water sediments to get in contact with.
• 3-Way Solenoid Valve. Relieves the water pressure off the coffee when the brew switch is turned off. It dries out the coffee to prevent dripping and makes it easy to knock the coffee out of the portafilter with one knock.? Convenient cup warmer with railing on top of the unit keep cups warm.
• Safety thermo fuse and steam pipe protector.

Manufacturer Details: Ascaso

More than 40 years in the espresso world... Jesœs Ascaso was born in a humble mountain town in the north of Spain. He was a man with an entrepreneurial spirit and the town offered him little opportunity. As a result he left for Barcelona with the equivalent of $30 in his pocket and a head full ideas.

In the fifties the espresso started to become popular in Spain and the rest of Europe and in Barcelona this popularity led to a flourishing industry. In 1950 Jesœs Ascaso began work for a supplier of spare parts for espresso machines, chrome-plating parts. It was hard work. 1952-1962 Jesœs Ascaso worked on the production line at Gaggia making espresso parts for consumer espresso machines throughout the world .

Other coffee machine manufacturers entered the market. Providing original spare parts was expensive and exclusive and the market continued to grow at a fast rate. Jesœs Ascaso decided to supply all brands of spare parts to the entire market at lower prices. This idea led him in 1962 to open his own company in Barcelona, Spain.

There he met someone who would introduce him to enough distributors/technicians to keep the company going from 1966 onwardsÉ he used to carry 4 different gaskets and 3 different filter holders with him in a black suitcase

In 1962 Jesus Ascaso started his own business to produce and distribute spare parts for espresso machinesÉ Nowadays, Ascaso sells it products to more than 50 countries in the world and continues with its expansion creating new divisions of business as the manufacturer of espresso machines

JosŽ luis Ascaso, the founderÕson, is the autor of the diversification of Ascaso Factory in the last 10 years. He created a espresso coffee factory for to unify his knowledge in the world of the components and the coffee machines with the espresso culture. . ÒFor coffee lovers Ò was born.

Now, the idea is a reality :a range of coffee machines for homes and offices with a especial design and a professional concept.
