The Innova Dream is the top line machine currently from Ascaso. Much of the machine's cost is around the housing and outer materials used. It contains the same inner parts that other Innova espresso machines have.

Bottom Line: This Ascaso machine really is "a dream" to use, making excellent espresso for home with loads of rich marbled crema via a 58mm pro portafilter (but it could use a pressure release valve).

Bottom Line: Easy machine with loads of control over the result. Not too pretty but then not to ugly either!
Aaron Marchand (quality: 4.5) 07.28.2006 Rating: 7.8
