Ascaso DR.20UK Dream Versatile Coffee Machine, Cloud White

Lasted 6 years before giving up. Needs constant descaling and crema only lasts for first few uses. Buttons turn around. Lasted same as my Krups, but took a lot more maintenance.

What a lovely looking machine. I was so pleased with it when it arrived - and more importantly, my husband was thrilled to bits with it, he's the coffee drinker, uses it every day. Easy to use, easy to clean and it looks so retro on the work top. Thank you so much.

Rolls Royce. But makes good coffee.

Beautiful vintage styling in cool colours, well built (very heavy compared to my last machine that rattled about when in use) and makes an awesome coffee, what more can you ask for!

This is a quality piece of kit, every part of it feels well made and I just love the retro look. It also makes fantastic coffee which helps!

DO NOT BUY ANY PRODUCTS MADE BY ASCASO, IF IT DEVELOPS ANY FAULTS OR IF YOU REQUIRE ANY SPARES THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED. THEY WILL NOT HONOUR ANY WARRANTY AND WILL GIVE YOU THE RUNAROUND. A VERY UNPLEASANT COMPANY TO DEAL WITH. BE WARNED!!!!!!!

the best handmade mashine. The coffee is so good . It is easy to use. The price is more than good for this quallity,

Bought the machine in brushed aluminum and it looks fab, it did however stop working after a few months. I purchased it from http://www.barista.gr at a good price. After explaining to the owner a fellow named [name removed], he was happy to repair it as long as I paid the £65 to return ship it. After he troubleshot it, he stated it overtemped and I should have been able to open the cover and reset it and then held the machine hostage until I paid return shipping. I involved Ascaso who supported the vendor... Eventually after a few weeks Barista selections returned it, improperly packed and damaged. After sending them photos and a video of the damage they sent replacement switches and expected me to repair the machine. I also escalated this to Ascaso who again were apathetic. I can only say from a customer perspective, both the vendor and Ascaso are well below average.I had the machine repaired and it's operational, but have to say it's designed poorly. It loses all temperature when brewing the coffee, it takes forever to build up pressure and temperature for frothing milk. It makes loud chugging noises and if you remove the coffee basket arm from the machine too quickly it will spit grinds all over the place. And the temperature goes to near maximum just trying to froth enough milk for one cup.Seriously, avoid this experience and purchase something more dependable. Don't be lured by the dreams appearance, it will keep you up at night!
