In short

A good first step up for home baristas, the Ascaso Steel Uno heats up quickly and adds PID control, a pressure gauge and a standard 58 mm portafilter with wide accessory choice. It has a 2 L tank. The limitation is that it is less temperature stable than a boiler machine.

The verdict

Thermoblock heating gets this semi-automatic ready quickly, and PID control plus a pressure gauge give useful feedback. The 2 L tank and 58 mm portafilter suit a first step up, but it is less temperature stable than a boiler machine.
