Ascaso Innova ARC Fun Versatile Espresso Machine

Simple Brewing Features

The ARC begins great coffee with the simple push of a button that starts the flow of espresso and continues until you have the desired amount of coffee. Durable buttons comprise the control panel and all the controls are logically arranged and simple to use. Several lights tell you when the machine is powered up and when it is at the proper temperature for either brewing espresso or steaming milk.

Quality Brewing Group

The grouphead (the component that accepts the coffee holder) is made of chrome plated brass. Designed after Ascaso's commercial espresso machines, the ARC 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 ARC uses heavy-duty chrome plated brass coffee holders, which feature a rugged plastic handle. There is a coffee holder for ground coffee and one for espresso pods. Single shot and double shot 57 mm diameter stainless steel filter baskets are also included. The larger size baskets allow you to use more ground coffee per serving for stronger espresso or cups of coffee.

2 Liter 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.

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 ARC has a polished stainless steel cup tray and a drip pan just underneath, both easy to remove and clean. A 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 ARC is constructed of steel that has been finished throughout with enamel paint. All of the components that make up the construction are designed for long life and low maintenance.

Installation and Accessories

The ARC requires no special plumbing or electrical outlets. Just plug it in and it’s ready to operate. With purchase, the ARC comes with two 57 mm diameter filter baskets, one for single shot and the other for a double shot, espresso pod holder, coffee tamper, measuring spoon, quick start guide, instruction manual, and sample espresso pods.
