ntroducing the Ascaso Basic espresso machine, also known as Pablo. This machine is a perfect blend of design and performance. It has all the features of more expensive machines such as a brass boiler for hot water, a 16-bar pump, and a chromed brass filter holder. The Basic is designed for home use, but it's built with longevity in mind and uses the same high-quality components as other machines in the Ascaso range.

The Basic has simple controls, a powerful pump, a brass filter holder with a matching plastic handle, a milk frothing aid on the steam wand, a removable water tank, a cup warming surface, and a removable drip tray. It's compact, with a streamlined and simple design, all in one color with a blue pilot light.

The water tank holds 2 liters and the recommended tamper size is 57mm. The machine has a bodywork of ABS plastic, weighs approximately 8 KG's and has a power of 900 Watts. The pump pressure is 16 bar, with a coffee thermostat of boiler 100°C / thermoblock 95°C, and a steam thermostat of 140°C with a safety thermofuse. It is a ground coffee only version and has a brass portafilter holder of 57mm.

With the simple push of a button, you can start brewing great coffee. The controls are durable and easy to use, and two blue lights indicate when the machine is powered on and at the proper temperature for brewing or steaming. The grouphead is made of chrome-plated brass, evenly distributing heat and reducing hotspots for consistent espresso. The machine also uses a heavy-duty chrome-plated brass coffee holder and stainless steel filter baskets of 57mm diameter.

The machine has a removable 2-liter water tank that can be filled while in use or taken out and filled at the faucet. The 16-bar water pump provides enough pressure to extract the full flavor from the coffee. The drip tray and cup tray are removable and easy to clean, and the machine also has a cup warming surface. The brass boiler is controlled by two thermostats and has a fast recycling time.

The machine is constructed of durable ABS plastic and should be cleaned every two to three months to keep it healthy. Descaler powders and water filters can be purchased for this purpose. The drip tray and water tank should also be periodically cleansed with dish soap and warm water. Installation instructions are included.
