Ascaso Steel Duo (The future is behind Thermoblocks) - eviltoast

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.

    For me, even the dual boiler is not worth it. A machine with a working PID (that has the offset documented and you can set it, not via vague presets) and you are set and properly equipped. Everything above are nice to have but unnecessary.
