Ascaso Dream PID Espresso Machine, Dark Black

The Ascaso Dream PID is one of the most iconic home lever espresso machines on the market. Its unmistakable retro design was created more than fifteen years ago by Marc Aranyó and continues to represent a blend of timeless aesthetics and modern technology. Hidden inside

its

elegant all-metal body is professional-grade equipment that allows you to prepare espresso on par with high-quality coffee shops.

The coffee machine is manufactured in Barcelona and is constructed primarily from aluminum, stainless steel, and brass. Plastic parts are kept to a minimum, which contributes not only to its long service life but also to its first-class craftsmanship.

Professional PID Control for Perfect Extraction

The Dream PID model offers precise electronic temperature control via a PID system, allowing you to set the water temperature in individual increments. A stable temperature means more consistent extraction and a fuller flavor in every cup.

On the easy-to-read display, you can easily set:

• coffee brewing temperature,
• steam temperature,
• pre-brewing time (0–5 seconds),
• extraction timer,
• sleep mode,
• and other service and operating functions.

The machine also features a built-in pressure gauge that allows you to monitor the pressure during espresso preparation.

Next-Generation Thermoblock

Ascaso uses its proprietary Thermoblock technology, which combines aluminum and AISI 316 stainless steel. Unlike traditional boilers, it heats only a small amount of fresh water at a time, so the coffee machine responds faster and consumes less energy.

Advantages of the Thermoblock system:

• very fast heating,
• high thermal stability,
• always freshly heated water,
• less limescale buildup,
• easier maintenance,
• long service life.

An internal stainless steel tube over one meter long ensures sufficient heat transfer for consistent coffee brewing and powerful steam.

Professional Components

Just like professional espresso machines, the Dream PID uses a lead-free brass brew head and a professional 58-mm-diameter portafilter, which is compatible with a wide range of professional accessories.

High-quality stainless steel filters are manufactured with exceptional precision, which promotes even extraction and consistent results.

After extraction is complete, the three-way valve automatically releases pressure in the brew head, dries the coffee puck, and allows for backflushing, which facilitates regular maintenance.

Powerful Steam for Cappuccino and Latte

The newly designed steam system provides ample power to create a fine microfoam. The professional Cool Touch stainless steel steam wand stays cooler to the touch during operation, and thanks to its 360° swivel joint, it offers maximum comfort when frothing milk.

Electronic steam control ensures more stable performance than standard home coffee machines.

Premium Materials and Handcrafted Construction

The coffee machine’s body is made of solid aluminum. The surface features a highly durable coating used, for example, in automotive motorsports and the marine industry. The result is not only a beautiful appearance but also high resistance to daily wear and tear.

The retro design is complemented

:

• metal controls,
• a wooden lever handle,
• wooden handles,
• an active electric cup warmer,
• LED lighting for the water reservoir.

Practical features for everyday use

The coffee maker is equipped with a removable 1.3-liter water tank that can be conveniently refilled even while the machine is running. The wire cup tray makes cleaning easier and reduces the buildup of coffee residue.

The machine also features a professional pressure relief valve with simple user settings, allowing you to fine-tune the extraction pressure according to the type of coffee.
