Thursday 27 august 2020 12:05:00 Europe/brusselsThe most emblematic coffee machine in the range for Home designed by Marc Aranyó in 2000. His Dream still remains a dream.
Without touching a line of its daring retro aesthetic silhouette and its world of colours, Dream has upgraded its technology to get the perfect cup at home. A machine built with the highest quality materials (aluminum, stainless steel, brass), and a minimum use of plastic.
A video presentation of the amazing Ascaso Dream w/ PID.
With the new PID you can adjust the temperature of the boiler to suit your blend coffee. Coffee stops automatically, you can adjust the size of coffee and commercial coffee group/handle.
PID Models advantages :
- Being able to adjust the temperature of the water means that you can use any blend of coffee and it wont burn!
- Volumetric coffee control ensures a standard single 30cl shot or double 60cl shot each time.
- You can even adjust the pre-infusion for longer soak times.
- Machine can be put in standby mode for quicker turn-on time.
With the ascaso PID you can:
- Adjust Pre infusion: Decide how much of a pre soak you need before extraction - perfect for more coffee cream.
- Adjust Coffee quantity: Preset coffee shots are ideal when you want to make a single or double shot. It will stop automatically.
- Adjust Pump pressure: After a few years the pump may loose its power and that can easily be rectified by adjusting the OPV.
