STEEL SERIES
The STEEL range goes one step further and transcends the Home use. It is a semi-professional coffee machine for home, offices, and even the Hospitality channel.
DUO – a thermoblock for coffee and an independent thermoblock for steam.
It was designed by the Ascaso Factory engineering team in its UNO and DUO versions and it is offered in a robust industrial bodywork that meets the requirements of the expert user. It is manufactured with the highest quality materials (aluminum, stainless steel, brass), and a minimum use of plastic. The standard version is equipped with a Ø 58mm filter holder and electronic temperature control.
The PID version provides a completely professional performance: externally adjustable OPV and an external PID display for temperature setting, adjustable pre-infusion, stand-by option and much more. A professional machine at Home!
- Note: available with the 15-amp plug or 20-amp plug
Powerful Steam
Steam without boiler
-
Improves energy consumption. Reduced from 35% to 70%, according to EN60661 test.
-
Waiting time for activation 2 minutes. The steam unit is ready within 2 minutes after switching on. Once switched on, steam generation is instantaneous. A traditional boiler takes between 15 and 25 minutes from start-up.
-
Instantaneous regeneration time. Constant steam. A traditional boiler takes several minutes to recover if it has previously made steam, proportionally to its use. With Ascaso's system, the waiting time is zero. Throughout the process it does not lose steam, it is constant for 3 minutes (maximum established for system safety) and then recovers instantly.
- Clean water in every steam service (no water constantly overheated).
- 2 year general labour + parts from purchase date
- 5 year Ascaso warranty on thermoblock + groups
Features and Functionality

High-quality materials and components
Manufactured in stainless steel for maximum sturdiness. A wide range of possibilities that make this a truly professional machine in a domestic environment.

Special cappuccino steam wand
Stainless steel. Multidirectional to 360º. The wand is cold to the touch, reducing the risk of contact burns. Milk build-up is reduced to a minimum, making for easy cleaning.
-

Powerful steam/hot water
The new aluminium + stainless steel group guarantees continuous, unlimited steam. The life of the piece is now much longer thanks to the fact that the limescale does not build up on the stainless steel circuit.

2-litre water reservoir
Can be removed for easy maintenance, cleaning and visual access, allowing the user to quickly check the amount of water in the chamber. The reservoir can be filled with the coffee machine in operation. BPA – free.
-
![]()
Cup warmer
Emulating professional coffee bar machines, the upper part features a surface that keeps cups warm, ensuring that coffee remains at its optimum temperature.
Large area – 270 mm x 315 mm. 100% usable (Side reservoir)

Metal switches
The high quality of the machine makes it a pleasure to use. Emphasises the industrial look. LEDs.
-
![]()
Pressure gauge
Along with the PID temperature control, this enables complete control of the machine.
DUO PID Features

Powerful Steam
New software: Instant, constant and powerful.
- More steam power is gained by increasing the working surface of the steam circuit.
- Extra steam pressure can be generated just by delaying the opening of the tap after activating the system.
- Our new software algorithm has increased the power of steam in 25%!!
- More steam power is gained by increasing the working surface of the steam circuit.
