From E-61 technology 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.

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

Stainless Steel: A remarcable material

Mechanical resistance
The mechanical resistance of copper is almost nil. Stainless steel has a high mechanical resistance.
Anti-lime scale
Stainless steel is the ideal material to avoid the build-up of lime scale deposits.
100% FOOD-SAFE
Its offers optimal corrosion resistance. It is an excellent choice from a hygiene point of view.


 
Multi-Group System

The multi-group technology is based on coffee groups and a steam boiler that work completely independently. Each group and boiler have their own autonomous heating system, safety device and precise electronic temperature control.

This system is much more evolved than the conventional system of a single boiler or the dual boiler machines.

Advantages

  • Aids energy saving.
  • You can turn a group on or off independently.
  • Standby function by group or for all the groups. Being independent, the power is only used for the parts of the machine you are using at that particular time.
  • Excellent thermal stability.
  • Excellent extraction quality for either small or large operating volumes. The quantity of steam does not influence the thermal stability of the coffee groups.
  • High, consistent steam production (exclusive boiler)
  • The machine can be adjusted to different types of coffees and roasts.
  • Extra safety level. If there is a problem with one group, the others will continue working.
 
Professional coffee group

New Thermodynamic Coffee Groups. With a large thermal mass (lead free brass), heated with a separate professional-grade thermoblock (modern thermodynamic technology) in each group, with a temperature sensor that can be easily adjusted by the barista.

With thermal insulation on all surfaces. Unit thermally insulated from the rest of the machine. Focused on conserving energy by heating the extraction water only. The coffee group is completely ‘enveloped’ by thermal cladding. Unique in the market.

Thermal stability. Energy efficiency. Coffee groupindependent of the steam production and water boiler.

 
Thermodynamic group
  • Clean water. Here it is constantly renewed and clean for every coffee. The taste and smell of the coffee are unaffected. As the water does not stand in the boiler, being constantly re-heated, quality is not affected.
  • Thermal stability. Quality in cup. Thanks to its high capacity and internal pipe measuring over a metre long. Optimised with electronic temperature control.
  • 100% food-safe. AISI 316 stainless steel water circuit. No metal migration in water.
  • Less limescale build-up. Easy-to-clean stainless steel circuit reduces limescale build-up.
Coffee Groups: Logical evolution.
Group Restrictors made of Peek

They are in stainless steel at the moment. Their manufacturing in Peek offers many advantages for the group flow of water.

Particulary:

  • Wear resistance. A constant water flow through a small hole produces high level of friction which affects to its size. Peek material ensures a much longer durability than stainless steel or brass. And less erosion.
  • Reduced possibility of scaling in the restrictor. Peek is the best material to prevent clogging.

Restrictor is a key element in the coffee brewing. Its clogging or fluctuation may produce a variation of the rate or quantity of water flow.

Independent steam boiler in AISI 316 stainless steel

Manufactured in 100% AISI 316 stainless steel.
Plasma-welded both inside and out.
Extremely sturdy and large capacity: 8,5 litres
Weight: 9 kg

Every Barista T has a boiler dedicated exclusively to producing steam; its large capacity produces a dry steam that facilitates the preparation of cappuccinos, lattes and macchiatos with exceptional power.

In addition, with more than 9 kg of thermal mass in very thick AISI 316 stainless steel it provides exceptional thermal stability. This means that the steam pressure is kept constant and it uses less energy while at the same time maximising steam production.

Lime scale hardly ever adheres to stainless steel. This makes cleaning much simpler and means repairs are a thing of the past.

Our boilers (coffee and steam) include a thermal sleeve which reduces the machine’s consumption by up to 35%.

PID Control

(PID) (Proportional Integral Derivative)
Easy and optimal temperature regulation lets you select the appropriate extraction process for each coffee, producing excellent results.

Our system offers a precision of 0.5ºC which considerably reduces any heat fluctuations within the coffee group.

The barista simply has to select the desired temperature and Barista T will do the rest.

 

To do so, Barista T has triple temperature control:

1. Dynamic pre-heating/temperature control of the water entering the coffee group.


2.
 Control of the temperature of each coffee group (PID).
Each group is completely independent and easy to control by the general or individual display (precision of 0.1ºC).

The temperature of each group is controlled by an NTC sensor. The high-speed heat sensor replaces the traditional mechanical thermostat.

These high-precision sensors are immersed in the water of each distribution group. The sensors activate the element by means of a static relay (Triac). They improve thermal stability, eliminate mechanical failure, and significantly reduce heat fluctuations in each coffee group.


3.
Control of the steam boiler/water temperature (PID). We do not use electromechanical pressure switches. They are much slower and less accurate and reliable..

Steam technology system

Steam is an essential element of the coffee machine. It is crucial for making drinks that contain milk (lattes, cappuccinos, emulsions).

In response to baristas’ needs, we have developed a system with a large capacity as well as the flexibility to allow maximum control during use.
  • Excellent steam power thanks to a specific, large capacity boiler.
  • PID Temperature Control
  • Exclusive in-house technology steam nozzle in stainless steel with two positions.
  • Very long, multi-directional steam wand with thermal protection.
  • Ergonomic lever design.
  • Steam tips with a special angle and design.

Professional filter holders
Following the Ascaso philosophy of transferring professional components from the espresso coffee world to the home, all our machines feature a filter holders and filters made of stainless steel (for 1 or 2 coffees) and a special filter for ESE coffee pods.

Thanks to its ergonomic design, it has a strong yet pleasant feel. Non-slip grip. It is tilted 10º for ease of use, while the horizontal placement of the filter holder in the delivery group ensures perfectly pressed coffee grounds.
Ø58mm Stainless steel filter and portafilter

We only use the Stainless Steel Portafilter (including the 1 and 2 coffee spouts). In the entire Home Pro (Dream One / Pid, ​​Steel) and Professional (Bar, Baby T, Barista T, Big Dream) range.

We stopped using brass and chrome on this key component. The advantages are multiple:

-Health. Stainless steel is the food material par excellence. Even with the use of low lead brass, there are metal migrations in the beverage. We also remove the chrome, which ends up in the cup. The traditional chrome-plated brass filter holder is black on the inside in a few weeks, while the stainless steel one is unalterable over time.

Quality of material. Stainless steel is a much harder material than brass. Its lifespan is much longer.

-Cleaning. Much easier to clean and more resistant.

-Esthetic. We have provided this filter holder with several details that give the product a better image:

  1. Internal laser marking
  2. Glossy finish
  3. Logo on the handle
 
Professional filters

Stainless steel fittings

The only company in the market that uses them. Brass is usually used. A much more economical option but not as suitable for mechanical (hardness, limescale, durability...) and food applications.

Copper pipes

We only use 99% pure copper.
The copper we use is: CU-DHP (EN 12735-2 / EN 1057)

  • Excellent mechanical characteristics, excellent heat conduction and resistance to severe pressures.
  • Excellent resistance to corrosion.
  • Hygienic, antibacterial material and makes it ideal in drinking water systems.
  • Pure material, which contains no additives that could contaminate drinking water.
  • Visible usage, as copper, even if exposed to temperature changes, does not age and does not change its properties over time.
  • Recyclable endless times.
High-quality electronic components.

Every machine comes with an Integrated Digital Control System (switchboard). This system guarantees the utmost precision in the digital programming and regulation of all the machine’s parameters. It is the machine’s ‘brain’. We have developed totally new, state-of-the-art software, offering total control over the machine through the display.

They have been arranged completely independently for ease of repair and to provide better thermal insulation and increase the life of components.
