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.
Short „Ascaso“ videos show how to clean the brew group and the steam wand. They feature the Dream PID; the Dream ONE is cleaned the same way.
The „Ascaso“ Dream ONE 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 Dream ONE 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 electronic control keeps the water at the temperature you set.
Set the temperature to suit your coffee — from 90 to 106 °C in 2 °C steps.
Water flows through a stainless steel tube cast into the aluminium block separately from the heating element. The element never touches the water, so it stays free of limescale.
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.
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 165 °C steam through the stainless steel wand, and set 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.
Top up the water without moving the machine, and see at a glance how much is left.
The water tank, filter baskets and drip tray can go in the top rack of the dishwasher.
The Dream ONE and Dream PID 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, 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 and a measuring spoon.
You can also order a portafilter with a walnut handle (for one or two cups) or a bottomless portafilter — choose the one you want in the „Accessories - Options“ field.
