 | This espresso machine maybe Basic by name, but it certainly is not by nature. It is Ascaso's entry level espresso machine; however, it is designed with longevity in mind and fitted with the same high quality components as the other machines in their range. The fact that the Basic has a brass boiler sets it head and shoulders above other espresso machines in this price bracket; making the Basic fantastic value for money.
The Basic is not just well equipped, it is beautifully crafted too; a point that did not go unnoticed at the Ambiente Trade Fair (2008), where the Basic was selected into their 'Trend Forum'. It has a small footprint, so is ideal for a kitchen with limited space (or if your partner is less appreciative of fine coffee it will give them less reason to complain). Despite its compact size, it performs like larger professional machines, packing a powerful 16 bar water pump for excellent coffee extraction and steaming ability. Like its bigger brother, the Arc Fun, it can be used with either coffee grounds or E.S.E pods giving you that extra versatility.
