After decades of using a french press, I started my espresso journey early this year with the ROK Presso Smartshot. Although I love how simple it is and how it good the shots are after I upgraded the basket, it is limited and lacks thermal stability.
Rather than buying a series of increasingly expensive machines, I decided to buy once, cry once. A few weeks ago, I bought the Ascaso Steel Duo Plus.
The first day was frustrating learning to dial in my shots. I tasted them all and got very little sleep. Each day it gets better and better. So far, I'm loving this machine. It's solid and well built, and I love the look on the counter. I'm hoping it lasts.
Could this be my end game machine?
