Steel Duo

Nice setup. Out of curiosity how long do the beans in the hopper last you? It's a shame they don't do it in stainless silver. Any reason you choose this over an Ascaso steel duo for instance?

Nice. I'm tempted by the Ascaso Steel Duo Plus V2 PID. Debating that or the Profitec Move.

Ouch. This is the absolute biggest reason preventing me from upgrading my 2 "dumb" machines. My Flair 58 is just a heater, and my Ascaso Steel Duo doesn't use a chip, just a little PID controller. I thought about getting a Sanremo YOU or a Decent, but yeah... those touch screens are not a longevity

4 months into my Ascaso Steel Duo PID Plus ownership here. Here are my pros and cons: Pros Fast heat up. 5 mins with the portafilter in the group head and a quick flush = ready for business Can pull a shot and steam at the same time Fantastic back-to-back consistency Engaging u/x with the clicky swi

I loved my Micra and was sad to sell it, it looked great and was proud of looking at it everyday. I have no complaints on my Steel Duo and coffee quality is just as good as my Micra, they make equally good espresso for sure. If I had the space for the Micra I would pick that, purely because of the w

Profitec Move is in the top of my list of dream machines. The white Ascaso Steel Duo PID or Plus version is worth taking a look at if you're contemplating on the Move.
