{"product_id":"ascaso-barista-t-plus-2023-profi-espressomaschine","title":"Ascaso Barista T PLUS 2023 – Multi-Group Commercial Coffee Machine","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"ccc-mobile-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAscaso Barista T PLUS 2023 – Multi-Group Commercial Machine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's half past ten in the morning, the first rush is over. Orders are slowing down, the rhythm returning to a calm pace. The machine has been running for five and a half hours, the hand finds the side steam lever without looking. Three seconds, a small turn, done. On the second group, the next shot is running simultaneously, programmed for weeks at nine bar and ninety degrees – because that's exactly what this bean needs. The Barista T PLUS 2023 doesn't put on a show. It does its job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat defines this machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Barista T PLUS is Ascaso's compact multi-group line – T-technology like the larger Big Dream T, but packaged in a footprint of 700 mm width in the 2-group standard version. Each brewing group has an independent heating circuit and its own PID control of plus\/minus 0.1 degrees. The steam boiler operates separately, providing constant pressure even with parallel use of both groups. The entire water circuit runs in AISI-316 stainless steel – no metallic taste in the cup, not now and not in ten years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermal insulation on brewing groups and steam boiler, an extra heating element per group, an anti-splash system, and boiler insulation are all standard features on the T PLUS 2023. This is what distinguishes it as a T-PLUS variant from the narrower Barista T One line. The side steam levers remain the ergonomic hallmark – shorter hand movements than front rotary knobs, faster workflow when two baristas work in parallel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConfigurations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Barista T PLUS 2023 is available in four configurations, and which one you choose depends on what your counter looks like and what you need. Standard versions are usually deliverable within 2 weeks. For some models, production is commissioned and specially produced upon receipt of payment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1-Group in White with Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e – End-of-life model, while stocks last. For very small counters, pop-up concepts, studio cafes, or concept stores with low volume. T-technology in its most compact variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2-Group Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e (700 × 475 × 535 mm) – the classic for medium-sized cafes and bistros. Full steam boiler with 8.5 liters, two steam wands for parallel frothing, familiar professional footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2-Group COMPACT\u003c\/strong\u003e (560 × 475 × 535 mm) – the same functionality as the standard version, but 140 mm narrower. The compromise: smaller steam boiler with 4.5 liters instead of 8.5. For cafes with limited counter space, hotel bars, small bakeries – anywhere where every centimeter counts and the reduced steam boiler is sufficient because parallel milk frothing rarely reaches its limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3-Group\u003c\/strong\u003e (920 × 475 × 535 mm) – for higher throughput, multiple baristas working in parallel, peak times with long queues. Three independent brewing groups, three profiles can be run simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAll Features at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eT-technology with independent heating circuits per group and a separate stainless steel steam boiler. PID control per group of plus\/minus 0.1 degrees, steam boiler of plus\/minus 1 degree. Up to five programmable presets per group, volumetric dosing, dynamic pre-heating of the groups. Pre-infusion programmable between zero and five seconds in two modes.

If you work with a fixed coffee bean menu – one house blend, perhaps a second seasonal bean, that's it – you don't need the 2024 model's display every day. The five presets per group are also programmable here, just via buttons and a rotary knob instead of touch. Once properly set, the machine runs the same profile for months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a café with a loyal customer base, a bistro with a classic espresso menu, a hotel bar with a house blend in the foreground – this is the honest choice. Less electronics, fewer potential service points, the same T-technology at its core. If you want quick profile changes across several beans a day, you'll be better off with the T PLUS 2024 or Big Dream T. Our opinion is one of many.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe COMPACT variant is the answer for anyone who needs two brewing groups but doesn't have 700 mm of counter space. At 560 mm wide, it fits between the cash register and the sink where the standard version would hit. The smaller steam boiler (4.5 instead of 8.5 liters) is perfectly adequate for most smaller café scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeel free to visit us in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) or Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b).

From our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/mahlkonig-1\"\u003eMahlkönig Collection\u003c\/a\u003e, we recommend the E64 WS or the E65 GbS for the 2-group T PLUS – grind by weight, precise to the tenth of a gram, robust burrs for daily continuous operation without digital frills. For the 3-group variant with higher throughput, the E80 GbS is worthwhile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer single-dose, because beans change or freshness is the highest priority, you'll find the Mazzer Mini G GBW in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kaffeemuhlen\"\u003eGrinder Hub\u003c\/a\u003e – compact, reliable, with a clearly defined grinder – or the Mahlkönig X64 SD for classic single-dose grinding without display gimmicks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor scales, a professional level is recommended: The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/acaia\"\u003eAcaia Pearl S or Lunar\u003c\/a\u003e provides real-time flow rate display – the bridge between analog machine operation and digital recipe control.

Both have the same T-technology, the same five presets per group, the same boiler insulation and thermal insulation as standard.
