Ascaso »

Ascaso was established in 1962 in Barcelona with the goal of manufacturing components for espresso machines. Fifty years later, while still continuing their production of espresso machine parts, the company has turned the family business towards manufacturing their own range of coffee machines for both home and the office. Ascaso has been able to produce machines that offer premium features at a reasonable price to those just beginning their journey into the realm of high quality home espresso. The Ascaso Dream offers a stylish and budget friendly option while the Ascaso Steel series offers a modern stainless build with even more features, including the ability to steam and brew at the same time with the Steel Duo models. Ascaso's line of espresso grinders are offered in conical or flat burrs, in doser version or doserless, and in multiple colors.

  • Bunn Trifecta Infusion Brewer

    $2,865.00
    When it comes to serving freshly brewed coffee in a commercial setting, one key dilemma has continually arisen. How can a commercial, high volume coffee shop make quick, fresh coffee without sacrificing quality? The solution has been either (1) to slightly sacrifice quality by making a large amount of drip coffee every hour or so, or (2) to preserve quality but to slow down production and possibly lose a potential profit with single-cup brewing (V60, Chemex, French Press, etc.). The brewing process that the Bunn Trifecta is built upon could be the answer to this significant dilemma.

    The Trifecta has been anxiously awaited by the coffee community since Starbucks bought the rights to the Clover brewing system and took it off the market. At a fraction of the price of the Clover, the Trifecta could be the next-generation coffee system. The process is incredibly simple and efficient without sacrificing quality. It can be compared to a Syphon Brewer in its use of total immersion, constant temperature, and agitation of the grounds.

    First, the hot water completely saturates the freshly ground beans resulting in a French Press like immersion. This takes advantage of the total extraction of beans that can only take place in full immersion brewing systems.
    Second, Air is injected into the pressurized chamber which agitates the grounds. This further enhances extraction by exciting the grounds and water as they interact with each other.
    Third, at just the right time (before over-extraction can take place), the pressurized air presses the coffee through a metal filter into the waiting cup. Similar to the Aeropress, this added pressure further enhances the extraction process and ensures a full-bodied flavor in the coffee.
