With its retro-inspired look and modern capabilities, the Ascaso Dream PID Coffee Machine is true to its name. Featuring professional controls in an easy-to-use interface and high-quality construction of aluminium, stainless steel, hardwood, and brass, the Ascaso Dream PID makes a fantastic investment for your home or office coffee nook. PID Temperature Control - Full Customisation in Two Buttons First on this professional coffee machine’s impressive list of features is the PID group temperature control. This electronic control panel allows multiple levels of customisation including one-degree changes in boiler temperature, steam control, chronometer function, programmable pre-infusion, and stand-by mode. The PID temperature control operates with just two buttons and a neat digital display that’s clear to read but doesn’t take away from the machine’s retro look. External adjustments In addition to the digital controls, the Ascaso Dream PID coffee machine also has simple-to-use and tactilely pleasing physical toggle switches for power, volumetric dose control, and water/steam control. There is also an overpressure valve that can be adjusted externally using a flathead screwdriver. Changes in pressure can be viewed through the manometer at the front of the machine. Safety and longevity features Designed for long-term usage, the Ascaso Dream PID espresso machine is built with features to improve safety while the machine is being used, as well as systems to slow down wear and tear. For starters, its multidirectional stainless steel steam wand has a heat-resistant nozzle for ease of use and to prevent burns. Inside, the machine also has a Thermoblock thermal cover to improve the thermal stability of the group and reduce power consumption. And at the back, the water reservoir is illuminated to make it easy to see the tank’s current water level.
