Ascaso
Ascaso makes espresso machines and accessories created for everyone from the beginner and home user to the expert and professional use.
Ascaso is aSpanish company from Barcelona that was founded in 1962 by Jesús Ascaso. From the beginning, only spare parts for espresso machines were manufactured and sold, but after a lot of expansions, espresso machines, coffee grinders and spare parts as well as other accessories that a coffee drinker needs are now manufactured in their 10,000m² large factory on the outskirts of Barcelona. 85 employees hand-manufacture the entire Ascaso range with the utmost care. Monteriva is the general agent for Ascaso Factory in Sweden.
That their machines look like unique craftsmanship is only natural when you walk the small, perfectly lined corridors in the factory. The employees who work in the hallways wear black sweaters with a charming print portraying a silhouette of their world-famous Dream espresso machine. The heat from the Spanish climate is penetrating and fans are placed next to each employee together with a bunch of water bottles. After all, concentration is the only thing you can see in their eyes. Every detail must be just right and everything must be treated with the utmost care. Part of Ascaso's philosophy is that everything should be done with love and it really is.
Ascaso likes to upgrade little-by-little and is constantly developing new, improved parts for the machines. In the process of developing a new component, it is thoroughly tested to ensure that it works properly. A machine is assembled by hand with precision where the new upgraded part can be included. And when everything seems to be ready, the machine undergoes a number of different tests. In their "Top Secret" test room, only authorized and Wikileaks are jokingly welcomed. The machine is tested over and over again to ensure that everything is correct and that the new component contributes to an improvement. Ascaso's endeavor is a genuinely reliable machine that lasts a long time.

OM ASCASO ESPRESSOMASKINER
Att Ascaso espressomaskiner ser ut som unika hantverk är en självklarhet när man går mellan de små perfekt uppradade korridorerna i fabriken. Svarta tröjor med ett charmigt tryck porträtterande en siluett av deras världskända Dream espressomaskin dyker upp på de anställda som jobbar i gångarna. Värmen från det spanska klimatet är genomträngande och fläktar står utplacerade vid varje anställd tillsammans med ett gäng vattenflaskor. Koncentrationen är trots allt det enda man kan se i deras ögon. Varje detalj ska sitta precis rätt och allt ska behandlas med största omtanke. En del av Ascasos filosofi är att allt ska göras med kärlek och med kärlek görs verkligen allt.Ascaso gillar att uppgradera lite i taget och tar ständigt fram nya förbättrade delar som placeras i maskinerna. I processen av en ny komponent testas den noggrant ut för att säkerhetsställa att den fungerar på ett korrekt sätt. Ascaso espressomaskiner sätts ihop för hand med precision där den nya uppgraderade delen får vara med och när allt ser ut att vara klart genomgår maskinen en rad olika tester. Där inne i deras "Top Secret" testrum välkomnas skämtsamt endast behöriga och Wikileaks. Maskinen prövas om och om igen för att säkerhetsställa att allt är rätt och att den nya komponenten bidrar med en förbättring. En genuint pålitlig maskin som håller länge är Ascasos strävan.
