Spanish manufacturer • Since 1962
Barcelona's „Ascaso“ makes espresso machines and grinders for people who value quality and good design. The company started out in 1962 making spare parts for espresso machines, and today its hand-built machines are sold in more than 95 countries.
MB „Restoranų įranga“ is the official distributor of „Ascaso Factory“ S.L.U. in Lithuania.
Developed with baristas
„Ascaso“ develops its machines with experienced baristas, so you get a perfect extraction time after time. Precise control over every brewing parameter lets you work fast without compromising quality.
Stainless steel water circuit
„Ascaso“ uses stainless steel for most parts in contact with water, from the heating elements to the filters. The steel is hygienic and resists limescale, so your coffee tastes good and the machine stays reliable.
Coffee in one minute
The electronically controlled „Ascaso“ thermoblock heats only when needed, which saves energy. You can brew coffee a minute after switching on, with a constant supply of steam.
The „Ascaso“ Dream PID is a compact espresso machine that makes barista-style espresso and cappuccino, cup after cup.
The Dream silhouette, drawn by designer Marc Aranyó, has stayed just as it was, while the technology inside has moved with the times. The aluminium body is meticulously painted and the machine uses very little plastic, so it is solid and built to last. The handles are walnut.

Brew temperature stays within ±1.5 °C.
Digital display

Two doses
Programme single and double shots to suit your cups.

Retro design
A timeless silhouette, first drawn in 2000.
The Dream PID is made for coffee lovers who want style and function in a compact machine. It brews one or two cups at a time and works wherever coffee is part of the day — from a home kitchen to an office kitchenette or a guesthouse.
Every shot is as good as the last: the PID controller keeps the water at the temperature you set, and the display shows when the machine is hot and ready.
Set the brew temperature to suit your coffee with the two buttons either side of the display — from 80 to 110 °C in 1 °C steps.
Single and double shots come out the same size every time: programme both doses to suit your cups, then just flick the coffee switch up or down — the machine stops by itself.
With the shot timer on, the display counts the seconds as each shot runs.
Counters show how many single and double coffees you have made in total and since the last reset.
Espresso turns out best when the gauge reads 9–12 bar. The pressure depends on the coffee and the grind, so you can see straight away whether you have got them right.
Pre-infusion briefly wets the coffee before the full shot; set it in the menu from 0 to 5 s.
Match the maximum pressure to your coffee with the over-pressure valve (OPV), which you adjust from the outside.
Brew with ground coffee or ESE pods. With the pressurised baskets, espresso comes out well whatever the grind size.
Froth milk with steam through the stainless steel wand: set the steam temperature in the menu from 110 to 165 °C and the steam flow with the rotary knob.
The wand stays cool to the touch and swivels through 360°, so you can hold the jug at whatever angle suits you.
The same wand gives you hot water too — for tea or for warming cups.
Espresso is at its best in a warm cup, and the active cup warmer on top of the machine has yours ready.
Top up the illuminated tank without moving the machine, and see at a glance how much water is left.
The water tank, filter baskets and drip tray can go in the top rack of the dishwasher.
The programmable stand-by saves energy: the machine switches to stand-by after half an hour, one hour or two hours without use — whichever you choose.
The Dream PID and Dream ONE share the same dimensions and silhouette.

Descale the machine with „Ascaso“ Coffee Washer: monthly if you make more than 10 coffees a day, every two months for 5–10, and every three months for up to 5. The same product also cleans the brew group.
Once a week, backflush the group with the blind filter supplied.
The machine comes with a stainless steel double-spout portafilter with a walnut handle, stainless steel filter baskets (7 g for one cup, 14 g and 18 g for two), pressurised baskets (7 g and 14 g), an ESE pod basket, a blind filter, an aluminium tamper, a measuring spoon and a group head brush.
