Beautiful but delicate

I’ve had this cute little guy for a number of years. I must say, the paint job on these things is war ready. The quality in general is superb. Two issues have come in the years I’ve had it. 1) Do not put hot water in the reservoir! It will burn the lights inside the container out as the steam will travel into the light section and ruin the lights. 2) The PID digital interface will also give in. Suddenly an “8” will look like a “3”, and my “9” dial looks somewhere between a “5” and a “4”. Since I live so far from any Ascaso dealer, I’ve had to live with it. Now the dials look like the timer that the predator used to try to kill Arnold in the final scene by killing himself via setting off a bomb timer. Other than that, the coffee is excellent and it tastes amazing. So is the espresso.

Thank you for actually helping me. Update to “It’s great until it’s not”

**Update**

This is a follow-up to my previous review “it’s great until it’s not” below. A representative from Ascaso reached out to me and took the time to be very helpful. Alina not only helped troubleshoot a few of my issues and sent the exact parts for me to order and fix, she stepped up where I had previously fallen through the cracks on something that neither the store I bought from or Ascaso rep was willing to help with. It was something that should have fallen in the year warranty but I missed emailing by days due to work.

Perhaps I just caught reps on a bad day previously. Alina taking the bull by the horns is very appreciated and shows they do stand behind their products. Thank you again. My little blue champion is running like a champ.

Original Review
I bought my Dream PID coming up on three years ago in December. I loved it- retro, makes good coffee,
Reliable. I have used as directed and cleaned according to directions. I have a filter on my water tap to prevent metal build up. But then the digital display went out, which seems a known issue, just days outside of warranty and I was told tough luck. Almost three years in and it is malfunctioning and the thermoblock seems inconsistent. The espresso is now cold with the same settings I started with. It starts blinking lights periodically after one extraction and I have to turn it on and off multiple times to pull a second and then steam milk. When I first purchased, I checked the warranty out of concern and was confident in the 5year warranty on the thermoblock. Now it seems they updated it to manufacture only. It’s expensive for a cute machine that will now just sit here. I would be money ahead had I saved up and bought a Lelit from Clive Coffee who stands behind the products they sell. This is very disappointing, and expensive.
