Ascaso Factory | Espresso coffee machines manufactured in Barcelona |

From E-61 and saturated group technology (1971) to T

A reappraisal of tradition. Sustainable engineering.

First, society changes. Neither manufacturers nor engineers nor industrial engineers invent new needs. It is society that demands products that are more sustainable with improved energy efficiency, easier to use and longerlasting.

In these new times, it is the professional barista who demands innovative products without compromising the espresso’s.

At Ascaso, our team of engineers has spent years working to differentiate and perfect our espresso coffee machines. And this has led us to reappraise our approach to tradition. To ground our projects on sustainable engineering.

In the ‘60s, the development of the E-61 group brought innovation to the espresso world. It was an instant success and became one of the most widely used systems in the history of espresso coffee Even today, many manufacturers still use it or work with its principles. Something similar happened with the saturated group (1971) or the multi-boiler system (2001).

But, 60, 50 or 20 years later, we needed to look for a new technology that addressed the shortcomings of the old ones.

Big Dream T

A product incorporating latest-generation technology. Multi-group. Complete PID control. Highly energy efficient.

Technological change

Technology T & Stainless Steel

After the creation of our Big Dream model, in which we have changed a technical criterion used for more than 100 years (using stainless steel instead of copper and brass), we wanted to continue creating unique products. A product that would also mark a turning point in the industry.

Technology T, is a state-of-the-art multi-group technology. Engineering developed entirely by Ascaso. It offers great thermal stability with a high level of energy efficiency (low energy consumption) and clean and fresh water in each coffee.

T Technology
A cleaner, more stable and sustainable water management.
Integral management of the extraction water temperature. Multi-device system.

PREHEATING SYSTEM
We preheat the fresh water we use in each coffee.

Thermodynamic group
With PID control, double heating element and thermal covers. Maximum stability.

SOFTWARE (algorithm Pid)
Maintains thermal stability throughout the system. We do not offer a fixed temperature in each group (like other systems on the market), the temperature is adapted to the working conditions (high frequency of services or widely spaced)

Benefits:

Multi-group (separate) technology with PID control
High professional-grade performance: Thermal stability guaranteed (in continuous or intermittent use). High steam production (separate, high-volume boiler).

Clean coffee
Minimal metal migration to the beverage through the use of stainless steel.

Complies with European regulation EN 16889

Freshly Delivered Water
Avoiding the use of standing, constantly reheated water to make the coffee. The water for each coffee comes directly from the mains supply, taking fresh, filtered water to the group. Without affecting the water's oxygen and improving the coffee's taste.

Energy efficiency
One of the T technology’s key goals was to reduce the machine’s energy consumption. We deliver a 50% average saving compared with a traditional machine and 25% compared with other multiboiler machines.

Stainless Steel: A remarcable material

Energy & Efficient

We guarantee a saving 50% compared to a single boiler traditional coffee machine.
Use of electronically controlled thermoblocks focused on conserving energy by heating the extraction water only.
Electronic temperature management. The heating element only operates when necessary and only for as long as required. It allows ‘smart’ control, with a much lower energy consumption than other systems on the market.
PID Control in all the coffee boilers and the steam boiler. Featuring electronic thermostats that are much more precise and act much faster than the traditional mechanical pressure gauge system.
The Multi-Group System means that power is only used by the part of the machine in use at any time. Each group can be turned off or on independently.
Thermal lagging made from high-tech material for coffee and steam boilers. Notably increases the quality of the coffee machine and the energy-efficient.
