Baratza Maestro Plus

 

A great cup of coffee starts with the proper grind, you can’t go wrong with a Baratza Maestro Plus grinder for all your home brewing methods! To order visit our Retail Store using the links to the right or just click on the text below to be taken directly to our listing.

The Maestro Plus™ is based on the very popular Maestro™ grinder. The Maestro Plus™ includes all the winning features of the Maestro™, plus some extras that increase its versatility and ease of use. The Maestro Plus™ includes a 60 second timer, a front mounted pulse button and a brushed-satin metal base. The Maestro Plus™ has double the weight of the Maestro™ which gives it a rock-solid feel and increased stability.

The original Maestro Plus™ was introduced in 2004. In March 2007 it was upgraded to include an innovative calibration system, new powerful DC motor and other improvements.

Detailed Product Features:

German made conical burrs

The Maestro Plus™ uses the same 40 mm conical burrs it has always used. Conical burr grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine to very course.

Grind Coffee for Any Brewing Method

There are many coffee grinders on the market. However, few have the ability to grind fine enough for a professional espresso machine and course enough for a French press coffee maker. The Maestro Plus™ has 40 steps of adjustment. Choose the perfect setting by turning the bean hopper to the desired position.

Innovative calibration

Commercial grinders have a calibration system to ensure that the grinder will grind fine enough for espresso and has the range to grind course enough for press pot. Now this feature is available in a grinder designed for home use. An innovative burr calibration system ensures that each grinder has the full range of grind. The grinders are calibrated when they are manufactured to ensure an accurate range of grind. If necessary the grinders can be user calibrated.

DC Motor

A 240 watt DC motor is replacing the current AC motor. The DC motor is twice as powerful as the current motor and turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding duty-cycles. The circuitry is equipped with an automatically resetting, thermal cutoff switch.

Special Gear Reduction

The Maestro Plus™ uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reducers to slow the spinning of the burr to 450 RPM. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.

Timers switch and Pulse button

The Maestro Plus™ has a sixty second timer, with segmented graphics, for easily repeatable grind times. It also has a front mounted pulse button that manually controls the on/off function. This is nice if you wish to grind a small amount of coffee for espresso.

Pulse button makes Espresso Easy

If you have an espresso machine, you will enjoy the convenience of being able to grind directly into the filter basket for your machine. After you remove the coffee grounds bin, you can insert your filter basket (portafilter) directly under the dispensing chute to collect the coffee as it is being dispensed. You can push the pulse button with your thumb while holding the filter basket for true one hand operation.

Service & Support
One year warranty. If your grinder has a problem we will see if we can resolve it over the website or phone or will promptly send a replacement grinder and a return tag for your old one.

Ascaso Dream Versatile Espresso Machine, Dream In Color

Ascaso Dream Versatile Espresso Machine, Dream In Color, Love Red

Overview:

The boldest outline, a wink to the past and a best to the future. The Dream Versatile espresso and cappuccino machine is the flagship of the Ascaso line. Its classic retro look is combined with the best that modern technology has to offer in a traditional style machine.

This series is dubbed the “Versatile” machine because the Dream Versatile machines can use either ground coffee or proportioned single serving espresso pods, also known or labeled as E.S.E.. This offers a lot of versatility in the way you brew your coffee or espresso. Not only does this machine look great in any kitchen, but it also allows you to make cafe quality espresso drinks, lattes, cappuccino, and cafe mochas.

We like the Ascaso Dream espresso machine for the internal design, as well. We evaluated the Ascaso line in the 2003/2004 time frame, and at that time, these machines were very anemic in the steaming department. One reason was the lack of the brass boiler that is now part of this machine.

We also like the aluminum body! Unlike other machines made of steel and painted enamel, the Ascaso Dream has no chance of rusting. Remember, we are using water and steam to make our favorite drinks, so steel machines will rust at some point.

In addition, the heating element is on the outside of the boiler. The benefit to this is that if your boiler runs out of water, there is very little chance of damaging the heating element – which occurs on machines with the heating element on the inside of the boiler. This feature is really important in an office environment!

Features:

•Simple to Use Controls - Flip on the center power switch to begin heating up the boiler. Two more professional grade rocker switches now let you control the steam function (far left) and the coffee brew control (far right). A series of indicator lights inform you when the machine is powered up, and when it is at the proper temperature for either brewing espresso or frothing milk.
•Temperature Gauge – The front mounted temperature gauge monitors the temperature of the boiler in both coffee mode and steam mode. read in Celsius.
•Frothing Tip for Perfect Foam – Like magic, the wand will make perfect foam. In an instant, the steam wand converts the milk in your 12 or 20 oz. frothing pitcher to lovely foam for lattes and cappuccinos. Mounted on a swivel joint, the stainless steel steam wand conveniently swings aside and clean up is a snap. When frothing milk with this machine, please make sure to have the little hole in the frothing adapter positioned at the top level of the milk. Doing it this way will help aerate the milk froth.
•Quality Brewing Group - The grouphead is made of chrome plated brass. Designed after Ascaso’s commercial espresso machines, the Dream group head evenly distributes heat and reduces hotspots for more temperature consistent espresso. It has also been designed to evenly distribute water across the coffee grounds for a better extraction.
•Heavy Duty Coffee Holders and Filter Baskets - Keeping with the tradition of using only commercial grade components, the Dream uses heavy-duty chrome plated brass coffee holders, which feature a rugged plastic handle. The same coffee holder is used for ground coffee and espresso pods. Single shot and double shot 57 mm diameter stainless steel filter baskets are included for ground coffee, and there is a pod basket for single dose ESE pods. The double shot size baskets allow you to use more ground coffee per serving for stronger espresso or cups of coffee.
•48 oz. Water Tank – The removable water reservoir, equipped with a water level indicator, can be filled while operating or taken out and filled at the faucet. The water reservoir is located in the lower section of the machine right behind the grouphead, and the water reservoir can be removed from the right hand side – just behind the steam wand.
•16 BAR Water Pump – The secret to a great espresso is a water pump that has the power to force water through the coffee grounds to extract the full flavor from the coffee. No worries here, you have more than enough pressure to extract the best of what your coffee has to offer.
•Drip and Cup Tray, Plus Cup Heater - The Dream has a polished stainless steel drip pan and chrome plated steel cup try, both easy to remove and clean. A unique scratch resistant cup-warming surface on the top of the machine lets you keep your espresso cups warm so your freshly brewed espresso does not cool too quickly once it hits the cup.
•Brass Boiler – Made of heat distributing brass, this boiler can get up to temperature quickly and stay there, with a fast recycling time. Two thermostats control the temperature for espresso and for steam, and a third that specifically monitors the boiler to protect it from overheating if the machine is left unattended for long periods.
•Construction with Longevity In Mind - The Dream is constructed of corrosion resistant aluminum for extra long life. The aluminum is then finished in a chip resistant enamel paint. Unlike most espresso machines in this class that are made of steel, the Dream will not rust thanks to the aluminum body. All of components that make up the construction are designed for long life and low maintenance.
•Instructional manual included: The manual will state that some accessories (i.e. pod handle) are included with the machine. This is a universaL worldwide manual that encompasses all different configurations of this machine. Please note that the only accessories included are the ones listed on this web page.

Free Shipping! Free Coffee!

Based on the great success of the Vibiemme Domobar Super HX espresso machines in the USA over the last four years, Vibiemme has designed the Vibiemme Domobar Junior HX.

With the same high quality found in the larger machine, the Vibiemme Junior HX offers the same capability of

a) ability to extract espresso and steam milk at the same time,
b) ability to change the pressure in the boiler which is a direct proportional relationship to the temperature

Please note that for Vibiemme to offer a lower price,

a) this machine is smaller which means less metal and for those customers who have less space
b) the boiler is controlled by a lower priced Jaeger pressurstat
c) the heat exchanger 1.0 liter boiler is smaller compared to the larger 1.8 liter boilers,
d) the Prolind automatic refill board (brain unit)
g) the 2 liter reservoir versus the larger size 3.8 liter found on the Double Domo, and
h) smaller drip tray

The Junior HX machine still boasts Vibiemme’s exclusive and original E-61 grouphead found on the larger machines, the same ULKA 41 watt pump, gorgeous styling, large adjustable overpressure valve (OPV), commercial grade steam and hot water valves, multi-directional steam and hot water wands, brew and steam pressure gauges, heavy vacuum breaker valve, and one-way valve to eliminate back pressure from the boiler.

 
•Mirror-polished stainless steel body panel

Heavy duty True Faema E61 grouphead maintains active flow of water from the grouphead to the heat exchanger in the boiler.

•The heat exchanger allows you to make espresso after espresso until water reservoir is emptied. You can also steam immediately before, during, or immediately after extracting an espresso without any wait time

Once the pump activates for a several seconds and release, squeeze this hose for 3 seconds. If you hear a different pump noise, the pump is working. If the pump sounds the same, power down machine and call us. If you hear no pump noise for the first 30 seconds of powering on, power down the machine and call us as a wire may have come off the pump.

Ascaso I-Mini Conical Burr Doserless Coffee Grinder

Dark Black

Dark Black Ascaso I-Mini Conical Burr Doserless Coffee Grinder

The brand new iMini is a superb burr coffee grinder from Ascaso, a company that specializes in commercial and domestic coffee equipment. Its compact size makes it ideal for home use, and it sports a veyr solid construction.

Turning the knob on the side of the grinder allows the grind setting to be adjusted to any point on a continuous scale from the finest to the coarsest setting. This is known as stepless adjustment. This feature allows very small adjustments to be made very easily – making it one of the few grinders that can achieve the perfect grind setting for making espresso.

The body of the black i-Mini is made from aluminium which is then powder coated to give a durable black finish. The body of the aluminum i-Mini is made from aluminium polished to a shiny finish. When these grinders get wet near your espresso machine, there is no rust!

The hopper is made from clear plastic and holds approximately 250g of coffee beans. The hopper just lifts off for washing, and the top of the grinder is easily removed to allow access to the burrs for cleaning. Please make sure to remove the beans from the hopper prior to removing the hopper.

The ground coffee is dispensed directly into your portafilter handle from the chute. Simply hold the portafilter handle against the button on the front of the grinder to activate the grinding mechanism. If you do not use an espresso machine, you can dispense the coffee into a small cup or container.

Specifications:

•Motor Power: 140W
•RPM: 1200rpm
•Connicals: 38mm
•Volts: 120V
•Housing Material: Aluminum
•Hopper Capacity: 250 g
•Weight: 7.7 lbs.
•Measurements: 12.2″ H x 4.9″ W x 8.9″ D
•Warranty: One year parts and labor limited to manufacturer’s defect.
Notes:

•Please note that grinders with the above stepless adjustment are not good candidates for grinding for multiple types of coffee brewing methods. The reason is that it is difficult to change settings from very course for french press to very fine for espresso as turning the adjustment knob countless times makes this impractical. however, to fine tune a grind for espresso,the stepless feature works great!
•The instructional manuals for Ascaso are printed for worldwide distribution and covers almost every model produced worldwide. With this in mind, there may be features, accessories, or colors available in Ascaso equipment in other countries, but not available in our models produced for the United States.

We are an authorized retail distributer for the Ascaso Line.

We have started to Import Espresso Tampers directly from a manufacturer in China.  This first order is a test market order, if sales are good we will buy them in larger quantities. Please Inquire if you would like to buy them in larger quantities (5 or 10 of each color and size), if we get enough inquiries we will place a larger order, turnaround time is about 30 days from us wiring the money to our receipt of tampers.

Here is a short description and some pictures of the sample tamper we ordered.  I loved the way it felt in my hand while I used it, and the American curve seemed to pull a pretty good shot too!

 

   

Espresso Tampers, Flat Bottom and American Curved Bases

Polished Aluminum, Rosewood, Black, Red and Blue Handles

Notice the convex curve of the base in the bottom right picture, this is what we are calling the American Curve. Here is a closeup view, that is a glass topped counter it is setting on.

The pictures seen here are of the sample tamper we ordered before we placed our full order. We are Importing these tampers directly from China, our first order is kind of small, but if the tampers sell well we will buy them in larger quantities.

2.The instructional manuals for Ascaso are printed for worldwide distribution and covers almost every model produced worldwide. With this in mind, there may be features, accessories, or colors available in Ascaso equipment in other countries, but not available in our models produced for the United States.
3.This machine can only use single dose E.S.E. (easy serving espresso) pods. Double pods and regular coffee pods will not fit in this machine.

Mouse over the Pictures below to see what the colors are called, then choose your color in the drop down options menu at the bottom of this listing, before you add it to your cart. If the color you choose is not available we will let you know what colors are available when we start to process your order.

No free coffee goes with any of the Ascaso line, sorry.
