Ascaso Steel UNO PID Espresso Machine, Black with Wooden Accents

The Ascaso Steel UNO PID Black & Wood is a lever-style espresso machine designed for discerning home baristas who want professional technology, maximum control over coffee preparation, and first-class craftsmanship. Its robust stainless steel construction, complemented by elegant wooden details, creates a timeless industrial design that will be a stunning addition to any modern kitchen.

The coffee machine is designed and manufactured in Barcelona, where Ascaso has been developing its own technologies inspired by professional espresso machines for decades. The construction primarily uses stainless steel, aluminum, and brass, while plastic parts are kept to a minimum.

Professional PID Control for Maximum Control

The Steel UNO PID offers features typically found only in professional coffee machines. The easy-to-read PID display allows you to easily set all important brewing parameters:

• water temperature in individual increments,
• steam temperature,
• pre-infusion time (0–5 seconds),
• extraction timer,
• sleep mode,
• other operating functions.

Electronic PID control maintains the temperature with an accuracy of approximately ±1.5 °C, ensuring consistent extraction from the first cup to the last.

Next-Generation Thermoblock

At the heart of the coffee machine is a modern Thermoblock made of a combination of aluminum and AISI 316 stainless steel. Unlike traditional boilers, it heats only a small amount of fresh water, offering fast heating, high thermal stability, and lower energy consumption.

Key benefits include:

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

The Thermoblock insulation also reduces energy loss and helps maintain a stable operating temperature.

Professional Components

Just like professional espresso machines, the Steel UNO PID uses a lead-free brass brew head, a professional Ø 58 mm lever, and precision-manufactured AISI 304 stainless steel filters.

The coffee machine is equipped with:

• a professional vibration pump with 20 bar pressure,
• an externally adjustable pressure relief valve (OPV),
• an integrated pressure gauge,
• a three-way valve for backflushing.

These features ensure consistent extraction and facilitate regular maintenance.

Powerful Steam for Milk-Based Specialties

The professional steam system provides ample power to create a fine microfoam for cappuccino or latte art. The Cool Touch stainless steel steam wand stays cooler to the touch during operation and offers convenient handling thanks to its 360° swivel joint.

Electronic steam control ensures consistent performance even during extended use.

Comfort in Everyday Use

An active electric cup warmer is located on top of the coffee machine, keeping cups ready for serving. Thanks to side access, the 2-liter water tank can be conveniently refilled without having to You’ll need to set your cups aside.

The workspace is illuminated by practical LED lighting, which makes it easier to prepare coffee even in low-light conditions.

Black & Wood – a combination of stainless steel and natural wood

The Black & Wood variant combines a matte black stainless steel body with elegant wooden elements on the lever and controls. The result is a premium look that blends modern industrial style with natural materials.
