At a Glance
Great quality espresso
Ascaso Dream produces really great espresso thanks to the use of quality components and innovative design. Both the brewing group and coffee filter-holder are manufactured from chromed/nickel-plated brass to maximise heat retention and thermal stability. This thermal stability is what ensures your espresso is extracted at just the right temperature to maximise flavour and consistency.
Fast to heat
The brewing system and filter-holder are directly below the thermo-block to maximise heat transfer. The machine takes 5-10 minutes to heat from cold. When you make espresso, fresh water pumped from the tank and then rapidly heated as it flows through one metre of coiled stainless steel heat exchanger within the thermoblock. Each time you brew espresso freshly heated water is delivered at just the right temperature.
Strong continuous steam... for creamy cappuccino and latte
Stainless steel lined thermo-block delivers strong continuous steam. Great steam power combined with a single steam hole tip makes it possible to achieve a nice fine velvety microfoam for all your favourite specialty coffees. Dream also comes with a froth enhancer steam arm attachment that injects steam into the milk as it is heated, this makes it easy to create super fluffy milk for cappuccinos.
Durable aluminium construction
Dream coffee machine is manufactured in die-cast aluminium that not only offers a high quality finish, it makes the Dream very durable. After hand polishing each machine is treated with a high-quality varnish.
Versatile brewing
Dream comes with a range of coffee filter baskets to suit your brewing method. Use the standard commercial style baskets if you have a quality burr coffee grinder and grind your coffee beans fresh for every cup for the full professional barista experience. Use the pressurised coffee filter baskets if you prefer the convenience of using pre-ground coffee beans. Use the single-serve ESE coffee pod basket for coffee pods.

Improvements and upgrades
Ascaso have improved the Dream hugely over the 15 years of production.... The latest version is truely a great espresso machine. Ascaso have worked really hard to improve performance as well as reliability. We are super excited about them. Here are the key upgrades and features:
Thermoblock heating system
Stainless steel lined aluminium thermoblock is not only fast to heat, but is resistant to scale buildup. Scale is usually what kills coffee machines by blocking water passages and making heating systems work harder to heat the coffee. The Ascaso thermoblock not only works amazing, they are super reliable.
Soft-close steam tap with Viton Seal
Steam tap has a soft Viton seal which is both resistant to scale and particle buildup while being much easier to service and replace. This is a huge imrovement over the steam taps on previous versions which were a less reliable metal-on-metal seal.
Versatile brewing options with five included coffee filter baskets
Five included filter baskets allow you to brew espresso with freshly ground coffee, pre-ground coffee, or coffee pods. There is no need to change anything in the brewing group, just select the right basket for your situation. Super easy.
