Description   Package Savings! Ascaso Basic Espresso Machine plus Capresso Infinity grinder package with double non-pressurize basket upgrade. Pull shots every bit as good as you can from the Rancilio Silvia at a fraction of the cost. We have carefully tested the Capresso Infinity grinder to assure it grinds fine enough to work with the non-pressurized basket upgrade. The New Ascaso Basic Espresso Machine The Ascaso BASIC is Ascaso's newest design. The Ascaso Basic incorporates the same fine components as those found in the Ascaso dream...with a brass boiler, chrome plated brass brew group and heavy brass portafilter. Simple Brewing Features The Basic begins great coffee with the simple push of a button that starts the flow of espresso and continues until you have the desired amount of coffee.  Durable buttons comprise the control panel and all the controls are logically arranged and simple to use.  Blue LED lights tell you when the machine is powered up and when it is at the proper temperature for either brewing espresso or steaming milk. Quality Brewing Group The grouphead (the component that accepts the coffee holder) is made of chrome plated brass.  Designed after Ascaso's commercial espresso machines, the Basics 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. 2 Liter Water Tank The removable water reservoir, equipped with a water level indicator, can be filled while operating or taken out and filled at the faucet. 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 Basic has a polished stainless steel cup tray and a drip pan just underneath, both easy to remove and clean.  A cup-warming surface on the top of the machine lets you keep your espresso cups warm so your freshly brewed espresso does not cool too quickly once it hits the cup. 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. Installation and Accessories The Ascaso Basic requires no special plumbing or electrical outlets.  Just plug it in and it’s ready to operate.  With purchase, the Basic comes with two 56 mm diameter pressurized filter baskets, one for single shot and the other for a double shot, espresso pod holder, coffee tamper, measuring spoon, quick start guide, instruction manual, and sample espresso pods. Non-pressurized backets are available from Seattle Coffee Gear.
