The boldest outline, a wink to the past and a best to the future. The
Dream Versatile espresso and cappuccino machine is the flagship of the
Ascaso line. Its classic retro look is combined with the best that
modern technology has to offer in a traditional style machine.
This
series is dubbed the "Versatile" machine because the Dream Versatile
machines can use either ground coffee or proportioned single serving
espresso pods. This offers a lot of versatility in the way you brew
your coffee or espresso. Not only does this machine look great in any
kitchen, but it also allows you to make cafe quality espresso drinks,
lattes, cappuccino, and cafe mochas.
Simple to Use Controls
Flip
on the center power switch to begin heating up the boiler. Two more
professional grade rocker switches now let you control the steam
function (far left) and the coffee brew control (far right). A series
of indicator lights inform you when the machine is powered up, and when
it is at the proper temperature for either brewing espresso or steaming
milk.
Pressure Gauge
The
front mounted pressure gauge monitors the brewing pressure while making
espresso to help insure a proper "espresso extraction."
Frothing Tip for Perfect Foam
Like
magic, the wand will make perfect foam. In an instant, the steam wand
converts the milk to lovely foam
for lattes and cappuccinos. Mounted on a swivel joint, the stainless
steel steam wand conveniently swings aside
Quality Brewing Group
The
grouphead is made of
chrome plated brass. Designed after Ascaso's commercial espresso
machines, the Dream group head evenly distributes heat and reduces
"hotspots" for more temperature consistent espresso. It has also been
designed to evenly distribute water across the coffee grounds for a
better extraction.
Heavy Duty Coffee Holders and Filter Baskets
Keeping
with the tradition of using only commercial grade components, the Dream
uses heavy-duty chrome plated brass coffee holders, which feature a
rugged plastic handle. There is a coffee holder for ground coffee and
one for espresso pods. Single shot and double shot 57 mm diameter
stainless steel filter baskets are also included.
Water Tank
The
removable water reservoir can
be filled while operating or taken out and filled at the faucet. 1.3lr
16 BAR Water Pump
The
secret to a great espresso is a water pump that has the power to force
water through the coffee grounds to extract the full flavor from the
coffee. No worries here, you have more than enough pressure to extract
the best of what your coffee has to offer.
Drip and Cup Tray, Plus Cup Heater
The
Dream has a polished stainless steel drip pan and chrome plated steel
cup try, both easy to remove and clean. A unique scratch resistant
cup-warming surface on the top of the machine
Brass Boiler
Made
of heat distributing brass, this boiler can get up to temperature
quickly and stay there, with a fast recycling time. Two thermostats
control the temperature for espresso and for steam, and a third that
specifically monitors the boiler to protect it from overheating if the
machine is left unattended for long periods.
Construction with Longevity In Mind
The
Dream is constructed of corrosion resistant aluminum for extra long
life. The aluminum is then finished in a chip resistant enamel paint.
Unlike most espresso machines in this class that are made of steel, the
Dream will not rust thanks to the aluminum body. All of components
that make up the construction are designed for long life and low
maintenance.
