Ascaso coffee machines are made in the Ascaso factory in Barcelona, Spain. Steeped in rich espresso history, Ascaso brand combines a love of retro style with serious coffee credentials to make a perfect cup. Combining retro style with functional engineering, Ascaso espresso machines optimize all aspects of production to craft great-tasting espresso in a matter of seconds. ​

At the Ascaso Factory, quality is an obsession. Quality is assured thanks to the internal quality control system consisting of over 25 points of inspection, carried out by specialists at its factory in Barcelona. Each and every machine made undergoes a one-by-one test. One by one.

The lab subjects its coffee machines to extreme life testing: making thousands and thousands of coffees, one after the other, night and day, on full flow, determined to test the durability of its machines to the limit and improve it.
Thanks to a specially created robot, an intensive usage program to all the machine’s functions is applied. Up-to-the-minute mechanical engineering and computer systems give every last detail of information about the product and how it performs with use. The final test of the prototype had a target of 1,000,000 coffees and steam and water services in two machines of two groups each. This is undoubtedly a key factor when it comes to achieving a reliable, long-lasting product.

Every 25,000 coffees, a complete inspection of the machine is made. The results are analyzed, technical improvements evaluated, and continuous improvement of the product.​
