Ascaso Dream PID Love Red is a retro-style coffee machine made from high-quality aluminum with minimal use of plastic, emphasizing its quality. The machine is available in 15 different colors and 3 surface finishes, including gloss, matte, and handcrafted. Each part of the machine is hand-polished, making it a work of art. The machine's lifespan is significantly longer due to the stainless steel parts of the system, which results in less limescale buildup.
The coffee machine has one thermoblock and primarily heats up to the temperature for coffee preparation. To use the steam, the machine must be switched to steam mode and wait for the system to heat up and produce enough steam. After using the steam, the system must be switched back to espresso mode to cool down. The machine is ideal for black coffee and espresso lovers who occasionally enjoy milk foam.
The machine features electronic temperature control and PID regulation, allowing users to set the temperature to one degree, choose the sleep mode, set the coffee dispensing timer, and set the pre-infusion time from 9 to 5 seconds. The machine also has a display indicating errors. The electronic steam control ensures the correct amount of water enters the heating system based on the system's temperature, not the amount of water.
The machine's display shows the extraction time, which is crucial in coffee preparation. The extraction time is the contact time between coffee and water, and for espresso, it typically ranges from 20 to 30 seconds. The Ascaso Dream PID Love Red provides a luxurious overview of the extraction time, making it an excellent choice for baristas and coffee enthusiasts.
