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.

    In the European market, it is priced similarly to a Lelit Bianca, which is the end game budget. The Silvia Pro X is about 400€ and the Elizabeth can be found for 900€ less, both new.

    To me it seems that the pricing is just not right. And understand that I am not the target audience for this kind of machine.
