The Ascaso Steel DUO Plus PID V3 White & Wood combines precise espresso preparation with the distinctive design of the Ascaso Steel series. This version pairs white with warm wood accents 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 features two separate thermoblocks, allowing espresso extraction and milk frothing to happen in parallel. This means the machine can prepare a double espresso while texturing milk for a cappuccino or flat white, without switching a shared boiler between coffee and steam. On-demand heating is especially convenient for everyday home barista workflows.
PID control and pre-infusion: dial in your beans precisely
The electronic PID temperature control helps you adjust the brewing temperature to suit the roast you are using. You can program the shot volumes for repeatable extraction, while a pre-brewing function helps wet the coffee grounds evenly and under control. With the right grind size, even distribution in the portafilter and an espresso scale, you can fine-tune the acidity, sweetness and body of your espresso.
DUO Plus V3: added convenience
The DUO Plus is for anyone looking for an especially convenient milk-frothing workflow in addition to precise extraction. Compared with the regular DUO, the Plus series offers expanded features. The confirmed V3 version from the retailer determines the exact contents of the delivery.
White and wood: a portafilter machine with character
The combination of white and wood details makes the Ascaso Steel DUO Plus PID V3 a standout feature on your coffee station. Its clean lines suit modern kitchens, high-end home barista setups and individually styled espresso corners. The side-removable water tank is especially practical when the machine is positioned beneath wall cabinets.
