The Ascaso Steel DUO Plus PID V3 Stainless Steel & Wood combines precise espresso preparation with the distinctive design of the Ascaso Steel series. This version combines stainless steel with warm wooden details and is designed for home baristas who value temperature control, everyday practicality, and high-quality construction when making espresso, cappuccino, and flat white. This is specifically the V3 version with wood.
Espresso machine with dual thermoblock: coffee and steam at the same time
The design with two separate thermoblocks allows espresso extraction and milk steaming to happen simultaneously. This means the machine can prepare a double espresso and texture milk for a cappuccino or flat white without switching between a shared boiler for coffee and steam. On-demand heating is especially convenient for a daily home barista workflow.
PID control and pre-infusion: fine-tune the settings for your beans
Electronic PID temperature control helps you adjust the brew temperature to suit the roast you are using. You can program the shot volumes for repeatable extraction, and a pre-infusion function supports controlled saturation of the coffee grounds. With the right grind size, even distribution in the portafilter, and an espresso scale, you can fine-tune your espresso’s acidity, sweetness, and body.
DUO Plus V3: added convenience
The DUO Plus is designed for anyone seeking an especially convenient milk-steaming workflow in addition to precise extraction. Compared with the regular DUO, the Plus series offers enhanced features. Please refer to the retailer’s confirmed V3 version for the specific items included.
Stainless steel and wood: a portafilter machine with character
The combination of stainless steel and wooden details makes the Ascaso Steel DUO Plus PID V3 an eye-catching addition to your coffee station. Its clean lines suit modern kitchens, high-end home barista setups, and individually styled espresso corners. The removable side-mounted water tank is especially practical when the machine is placed under wall cabinets.
