Hey everyone, most likely you already saw this review of the Ascaso.
I was wondering, are the thermoblock really that good? Or it’s just a paid Ad?
Seems quite a lot of money, and I remember someone mentioning that it is still not very stable in terms of temperatures. Also in the review, it does not show the greatest results.
In that price range it competes with Silvia Pro X and in some markets with Lelit Elizabeth. What are your takes on this one? Curious to discuss.
I’d consider it from serviceability perspective. The boiler machines are fairly simple to understand even with PID control. There are Silvia parts all over the place and the machines are easy to service. Looking at the internals of the Ascaso, it’s a bit of a different picture.
With that said, I think I like the idea of a thermoblock for steam specifically.
