Espresso machine „Ascaso“ Barista T ONE, 2 groups, Black

Two-group espresso machine with thermoblocks, PID control and an 8.5 L steam boiler

With the „Ascaso“ Barista T ONE you brew espresso and froth milk at the same time: each group has its own thermoblock, and an 8.5 L boiler supplies the steam.

With „T Technology“ the machine uses less energy than traditional espresso machines, and the thermoblocks heat up so quickly that the first espresso is ready just one minute after you switch on. When ordering, you choose standard groups (cups up to 9 cm) or raised groups (cups up to 12 cm).

①

A thermoblock for each group

Each group brews at its own temperature: it has a separate thermoblock, and water reaches it already pre-heated in a circuit through the steam boiler.

②

PID control ±0.5 °C

You get the taste you want in every cup: with PID and dynamic pre-heating the brew temperature stays within ±0.5 °C of the setting.

③

Two displays per group

A good shot is easy to repeat: each group’s two displays show its temperature and the shot time.

④

Extraction controls

Every shot is the same size, whoever makes it: the machine measures each dose by volume, and you match the pre-infusion to your coffee.

⑤

Rotary pump

The pressure can be matched to your coffee: a technician sets it with the adjusting screw on the rotary pump (factory setting 9 bar).

⑥

8.5 L steam boiler

You froth milk while the groups are brewing: a separate stainless steel boiler supplies steam and hot water.

⑦

Durable parts

The machine is built to last: the body and Ø 58 mm portafilters are stainless steel, and the water circuit is stainless steel and 99% pure copper.

⑧

Two steam wands

Two baristas can froth milk at once: the machine has two Ø 12 mm steam wands that stay cool on the outside.

⑨

Work area lighting

With the work area lit, you see every shot as it pours.

Who it suits

The Barista T ONE suits a bar that wants the same precise temperature control as the rest of the Barista T range in a machine you run simply from dose buttons and group displays. With two groups you brew several espressos at once.

The right temperature for every group

You set the brew temperature of each group from 80 to 110 °C in 0.1 °C steps.

You set the steam boiler temperature separately, so it does not depend on the coffee group settings.

In quieter hours you switch off one group, and the other keeps working.

The same dose every time

You programme four doses — single and double espresso, single and double lungo — once; after that you just press a button, and the machine stops the coffee automatically.

You fill cups of other sizes with the XL button: the coffee flows until you press it again.

You only need to programme the doses on the left group — they are copied to the right one.

You can set a pre-infusion of up to five seconds for each dose: the ground coffee is soaked before the extraction starts.

Espresso to your recipe

The right-hand group display shows the extraction time, so you see at a glance whether the grind is right: a correctly ground and tamped shot runs for 20–25 seconds.

You brew a single espresso with the 7 g basket and a double with the 14 g.

Between orders the Ø 58 mm portafilters stay locked in the groups, so they are always warm.

Milk foam and hot water

You turn the steam on and off with a knob, and the steam tips have four holes each.

A dual pressure gauge shows the pump and steam boiler pressure.

You draw hot water for tea or for warming cups from a separate outlet.

Easy every day

In quiet periods the steam boiler drops to a lower standby temperature after a set time, so it uses less energy.

Counters show how many cups each group and the whole machine have made.

With the work area lit, you can see the coffee flow.

Comparison

All three Barista T models have a thermoblock for each group, an 8.5 L steam boiler, PID control to ±0.5 °C and four programmable doses, and share the same dimensions and power; they differ in controls, insulation and accessories.

If you want insulated groups and steam boiler and walnut handles, choose the „Ascaso“ Barista T.

Connection and installation

• Electricity: 380 V or single-phase 220–240 V, 50/60 Hz, 5,665 W; a single-phase connection requires a 25 A circuit. The machine is hard-wired, without a plug.
• Power limiting: if your circuit is rated lower, a technician limits how many heating elements run at once (the coffee groups take priority), so the machine draws less current.
• Water mains: connected with a 3/8″ hose; 1–6 bar supply pressure (above that, a pressure reducer) and an 8 L/min flow are required, with a shut-off valve between the mains and the machine.
• Water quality: softened drinking water; for harder water, a water softening filter.
• Drain: the Ø 16 mm drain hose runs to a drain outlet.
• Location: a level, dry and stable surface indoors at 5–32 °C and no more than 70% humidity; dimensions 700 × 535 × 475 mm (W × D × H), weight 71 kg. The machine is connected by a qualified technician.

Operation

You wipe the steam wands with a damp cloth right after use, and in the evening clean them with a steam wand cleaner.

Once a week you brush the group shower screens and gaskets and back-flush the groups with the blind filter and „Ascaso“ Coffee Washer — so the coffee keeps a clean taste.

You descale the steam boiler with a special descaler — more often if your water is harder or the machine is used a lot.

Supplied with

The machine comes with three Ø 58 mm stainless steel portafilters with black handles (one single-spout and two double-spout), filter baskets (1 × 7 g, 2 × 14 g), a blind filter, an aluminium tamper, 4-hole steam tips, and inlet and drain hoses.
