Ascaso Dream Espresso Machine - Dark Black - Open Box
Overview
Espresso machines don't need to be boring slabs of stainless steel! The Ascaso Dream is an espresso machine cute enough for any kitchen. Vintage curves and simple analog controls make it a perfect partner next to similarly retro standing mixers or blenders—and the Dream's footprint is small enough to show-off full time. It's no slouch in the performance department either, with a quick-heating thermoblock, 5 different pressurized and non-pressurized brew baskets and a swing-out steam arm for lattes and cappuccinos.
Features and Functionality of the Ascaso Dream Up Espresso Machine - Dark Black - Open Box
- Design DNA - The Dream was destined to be a looker from day 1. Solid metal and a hard-wearing powdercoat don't hurt either.
- Integrated Thermoblock - A surprisingly simple integrated thermoblock also keeps the group piping hot.
- Accessories Abound - Ascaso includes everything you need to brew including a fantastic tamper, an optional panarello steam tip and both pressurized and nonpressurized (and an ESE Pod) baskets.
- Important Improvements - New to the V3, ESE pods now fit in their own (included) portafilter basket! No adapters or special parts needed.
- Resourceful Reservoir - The water reservoir pulls out sideways and can be refilled without removing from the machine.

| SCG Staff Says... | There's something to be said about simplicity, and the Dream's retrofuturistic 1950s design—complete with analog toggles and a temperature gauge—pairs well with its no-frills operation. |
| How Does it Compare? | The V3's main claim to fame lies with its newly designed portafilter, which can now accept ESE pods without the need for a special adapter! Also, the thermoblock is now lined in stainless steel and the steam wand assembly sports a better sealing connection to help eliminate leaks and scale. |
| Tips and Tricks | Make sure to brace the base of the Dream while tightening in the portafilter. |
