The Ascaso Steel DUO Plus PID V3 Black & Wood combines precise espresso preparation with the distinctive design of the Ascaso Steel series. This version pairs black with warm wood accents and is designed for home baristas who value temperature control, everyday practicality, and high-quality craftsmanship 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 two separate thermoblocks allow you to extract espresso and steam milk simultaneously. The machine can therefore prepare a double espresso while texturing milk for a cappuccino or flat white, without switching between a shared boiler for coffee and steam. On-demand heating is especially convenient for your daily home barista workflow.
PID control and pre-infusion: fine-tune your settings to 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, while a pre-infusion function helps wet the coffee grounds evenly and in a controlled way. 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 looking for an especially convenient milk-steaming workflow in addition to precise extraction. Compared with the standard DUO, the Plus series offers an expanded feature set. Please refer to the retailer’s confirmed V3 version for the specific items included.
Black and wood: a portafilter espresso machine with character
The combination of black and wood details makes the Ascaso Steel DUO Plus PID V3 a standout feature of your coffee station. Its clean lines suit modern kitchens, premium home barista setups, and personalized espresso corners. The side-removable water tank is especially practical when the machine is placed under wall cabinets.
