The art of expresso at home: What Ascaso machine is made for you?

Our Home range was conceived with a clear premise: to bring professional coffee shop technology into the intimate space of the home, without sacrificing the honest design that embodies our native Barcelona.

But when you decide to take the plunge into the home barista journey, the big question arises: DREAM, STEEL, or BABY T? Although all three share our undeniable DNA of excellence, each has been designed for a different way of experiencing and enjoying coffee.

Today, we delve into their differences to help you discover your perfect barista match.

Ascaso DREAM: The retro-chic icon for design and functionality lovers

If there’s one silhouette that defines Ascaso’s modern history, it’s the DREAM. Designed by Marc Aranyó, this coffee machine combines a nostalgic spirit with cutting-edge technology. With its curved lines and a vibrant color palette hand-finished in Barcelona, it’s not just a coffee machine; it’s an aesthetic statement piece for your kitchen.

What’s inside?

It features a state-of-the-art thermodynamic group. Water circulates through a stainless steel circuit, ensuring that the water for each extraction is always clean, fresh, and metal-free.

Who is it for?

The DREAM is ideal for the coffee enthusiast looking for a perfect balance between style and compact functionality. It’s for those who prioritize quick startup, enjoy daily espresso with optimal consistency, and seek an intuitive machine capable of extracting all the nuances of a single origin.

Ascaso STEEL: Industrial robustness and purist precision for those seeking total control

We take a step towards geometric sobriety and industrial minimalism. The STEEL range replaces curves with straight lines and a robust chassis of polished or painted stainless steel. It’s a machine that commands visual and technical respect.

What’s inside?

Here we enter purist territory. STEEL PID incorporates electronic temperature control that allows you to adjust extraction degrees one by one. Additionally, it offers programmable pre-infusion, shot time control, and a professional steam wand that doesn’t burn.

Who is it for?

The STEEL is for the advanced home barista. If you’re passionate about experimenting with different roasts (light roasts require higher temperatures than dark ones), you play with ratios and timers, or if many espressos or lattes are prepared consecutively at home, the thermal versatility of the Steel DUO PID is your natural choice.

Ascaso BABY T: Uncompromising professional performance

The BABY T plays in a different league. Born directly from our acclaimed commercial Barista T series, this machine represents the Multi-Group concept: a specialty coffee machine with high-end coffee shop features condensed into a size suitable for home or gourmet office environments.

What’s inside?

Multi-Technology Engineering: It breaks with tradition by combining advanced thermodynamic groups for coffee with an independent stainless steel steam boiler. The result? Absolute thermal stability (+/- 0.5°C) and brutal dry steam production capacity, identical to what you’d find in your favorite specialty coffee shop. All manageable from its interface or via an app on your smartphone.

Who is it for?

The BABY T is for the true connoisseur and coffee professional who wants to train at home. It’s for those who accept no compromises, who organize tastings at home, or who simply demand absolute excellence, the most powerful steam flow on the domestic market, and the robustness of a machine that will last a lifetime.

In summary:

At Ascaso, we don’t just make machines to brew coffee quickly; we create tools to enjoy the journey, respecting the bean and caring for the planet thanks to our sustainable, low-energy consumption technology.

Whether with the iconic curves of the DREAM, the millimeter precision of the STEEL, or the professional power of the BABY T, your kitchen is one step away from becoming the best coffee haven in the city.

And you, which one will you start your ritual with tomorrow?

For the genuine coffee lovers.
