T-Tech

Multi-group system

Thermal Stability System

The filtered and clean water enters the machine through the rotary pump at a certain pressure.

Enter the water/steam boiler through a U-shaped preheater tube (thick and 100% Aisi 316 L stainless steel), at network or ambient temperature. And it comes out hot without touching or altering the water in the water boiler. A very efficient system (no need to use any additional energy to preheat the water entering the groups).

Hot water (80º) will enter each thermodynamic coffee group.

The coffee group (see technology group T) and the algorithm established in the electronic exchange, guarantee a great thermal stability of the water at the exit of the group (+ - 0.5ºC). Both in situations of continuous or timely consumption.

And all this without constantly reheating the water or having saturated groups of water. Clean water in each coffee at a constant temperature. With a much more efficient and sustainable technology.

Multi-group (separate) technology with PID control.
Minimal metal migration to the beverage through the use of stainless steel.
Freshly Delivered Water.
Energy efficiency.

Energy efficiency

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 groups 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.

Energy consumption

Reducing the energy consumption of our coffee machines has been a priority goal for the last 10 years. The result of this process is the creation of our own technology, in a sector that primarily uses technologies from 60 years or 20 years ago, as in the case of the most popular and modern multi-boiler technologies.

We want to make public our result and, we hope, that many other manufacturers will follow this path. The result obtained, available to our clients, is based on the European protocol.

A step beyond the European Standards

It would be advisable to publish the actual consumption of professional coffee machines, which is based on the European standard DIN 18873 - 2: 2016. It is a sign of transparency that fosters the consumer and the energy transition, but we believe that this data does not reflect consumption in real conditions.

How is it tested according to official protocol?

  • New machines are tested under laboratory conditions. In reality, after a period of use, copper boiler machines accumulate a large amount of lime, causing an increase in energy consumption when in use. This does not happen in stainless-steel boilers of Ascaso coffee machines.
  • It is not considered that a group/ groups and the boiler cannot be turned off in a mono-boiler machine, which is indeed feasible with our T technology resulting in the corresponding energy savings.
  • Time required to activate or switch on the coffee group is not evaluated either. Ascaso's T technology enables a group to be activated when it is completely switched off in 1 minute. It is a unique design in the world.

European regulations foster that all manufacturers have the same protocol to measure energy consumption, but considering the tests carried out and the methodology, it does not accurately reflect efficiency and performance. In real working conditions, our technology and materials improve the data obtained according to the official protocol of European Standards.


Energy savings = Economic savings

The energy consumption of a professional coffee machine is high. Also it is its hours of use. Consequently, financial savings are also important.

By doing a simple calculation, we can obtain an annual saving of more than € 300 on the electricity bill.

Average saving 5.5 kWh/24h. 300 days of annual opening. 0.21 kWh (average price in Europe).

Total: € 350 / year.

Curious data

We can translate the energy request of those models into CO2 generation due to the energy being used to. Considering each 1.000 kWh being used generate 458 kg of CO2, or which is equivalent, to cut 19 trees.

Translating data to those 2 parameters shows results as follows:

BARISTA T PLUS 2GR

HX MONOBOILER 2 GR

Annual energy request

1.413,00 kWh

2.838,00 kWh

Generation of co2

647,15 kg

 1.299,80 kg

 53,92Trees




Also considering energy request differences between models and base HX one, can also try to translate these differences into something common for all of us, for example the energy request of a fridge. Considering the annual energy request of a fridge is around 175 kWh, the differences between the BT model and the HX mono boiler would allow user to completely cover the energy request of this appliance, as follows:

Stainless Steel & Multi-Groups System
 Contents
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

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

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..

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 T) 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


Silicone seal ring



Material: Silicone. Can withstand temperatures of up to 100º. Our tests show that they have double the normal lifespan of standard high-quality rubber seal rings. Food safe material. In green. Odorless and tasteless.

Design: Specially designed rubber seal rings. Thick and flexible. The silicone makes engaging the portafilter easier thus less effort and strain on your wrists.

 
Competition filters

In AISI 304 stainless steel. These are essential for optimum extraction. We only use high-precision filters. Only a top quality, cutting-edge production process can guarantee a consistent result. Filter by filter. Hole by hole. Otherwise, there would be significant differences in the cups and systematic extraction variations (over/under).

Main features:

  1. AISI 304 stainless steel.
  2. Laser engraving, including a different serial number for each filter.
  3. High-tech manufacturing process.
    A well-manufactured filter has uniform, circular holes that are all the same size (maximum tolerance is 0.02 mm difference). This ensures consistent, uniform extraction of the entire coffee dose, Simplifying the preparation of an espresso, and reducing possible grounds in the drink.
The holes are produced using a highly precise perforating machine that guarantees uniformity of all the manufacturing parameters.
