Thanks for this review!
I'm thinking about buying the Ascaso, but I still have a few doubts and I would like to ask you a few questions:
- Is a lungo or a little more (60-80ml) possible, does the temperature remain stable?
- I have my water filter in the fridge, so the water in the water tank is cold when I fill it up. To me it would be logical if that affects the output temperature, do you know if that is correct?
- If I want to switch between dark and light roast for two shots and adjust the temperature with the PID, how long do I have to wait until it is stable at the new temperature?
- What do you think of the workflow for a cappuccino (I rarely make it, only for visitors), is it rather frustrating or is it okay? I'm especially thinking about the wait after the shots (is the crema still good?)
- There are various reports in several forums about suddenly occurring problems, for example the solenoid valve. Can you say something about the quality and durability of the machine?
very big thank for your work, would be a pleasure to hear from you! Greetings

Does the wood tamper shows in the video come with the machine?

What’s PID? Still didn’t tell us what PID is.
