Ascasco Big Dream
We’ve created an energy-efficient, long-lasting and hygienic coffee machine equipped with all the features to produce outstanding espresso coffee.
We invite you to come and discover the reality of our big dream. The beautiful Big Dream is the result of years of development and the enthusiasm of a team of engineers with the ambition to change one hundred years of history
The first espresso coffee machine was manufactured more than 100 years ago. Since then, the materials used to manufacture coffee machines have barely changed.
Yes, 100 years…
100 years in which there has been a huge evolution in terms of the design, exterior materials and electronic devices that facilitate and improve coffee extraction… Yet inside, at the heart of the machine, nothing has happened for over a century. Brass and copper are still the main components of coffee machines. The technical characteristics of these materials tell us that thermal stability, energy efficiency, mechanical resistance and lime scale adherence to the components cannot possibly be optimal.
So… why not seek out the best?
Our technical team of dedicated engineers has devoted more than four years to this quest. We wanted to evolve. To change 100 years of history. There were other options out there, and they were better.
At our factory in Barcelona, we have engineered change: more than a century later, we have manufactured the first coffee machine that eschews the conventional materials of the previous century, replacing them completely with stainless steel.
It is used in surgical instruments, containers for the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry, the aeronautical sector, drinking water pipes and… from now on, to manufacture espresso coffee machines.
With this new structural language (and a great deal of enthusiasm) we have managed to create a unique and optimal product. The definitive response to all the challenges we posed to our engineers.

GRANITE BASE FOR CARVING STATIONS
Why Synthetic Granite?
Hanson Heat Lamps offers a variety of carving stations with a wide range of carving base options. For something all-purpose, you may want to consider our proprietary synthetic granite material. It contains a balance of softness for your knives to prevent blade dulling and hardness to help resist surface scratches. Even when the occasional light scratches do appear, a simple wipe down with mineral oil will typically make them near invisible. For deeper cuts, sanding is a viable option as the material stays consistent all the way through.
Functionality & Usage for Carving
Our synthetic granite is a beautiful material with a clean and smooth finish. It can retain a high temperature directly from the heat lamp to provide a warm cutting surface. This makes slicing into meats all the more enjoyable. Additionally, all of our Hanson synthetic granite cutting boards are provided with a routed gravy lane to give a professional design.
Maintenance
Synthetic granite is our most durable product available. It will provide you with a long life span with general care. The maintenance is also very low, as it is easy to clean with ordinary dish soap. The aesthetics and functionality, paired with extremely effortless care, easily make this one of our best products to date.
WOW GRILL For a great grill experience
Saro’s WOW GRILL is made of high-grade stainless steel. The Grill is easy to setup and simple to operate. The WOW GRILL is equipped with one, two or three heating zones. Every heating zone consists of 18 square stainless steel tubes, in three groups of six each. The temperature of each grill zone can be adjusted separately. Each tube contains an independent heating element.
The WOW GRILL’s integrated heating heating elements ensure evenly spread heat and guarantee success in barbecuing.
If, against all expectations, one of the integrated heating elements should fail, only one of the groups of six elements would stop working. The rest of the heating zone can be used further; the broken heating element can easily be replaced.
This kind of construction also provides unique energy efficiency and guarantees a consistent temperature throughout the whole cooking area. Temperatures up to 320 °C are achieved in no time.
Any surface irregularities can be compensated due to the WOW GRILL’S adjustable foods.
The stainless steel splatter shield can be put on or be removed tool-free.
A drawer is located underneath the heating areas, to collect crumbs and escaping fat. The drawer can easily be removed for cleaning purposes. Water can be filled into the drawer to make cleaning it even more easy.
After grilling any remains can easily be removed from the grillage, simply by using the supplied scrapers.
The consistent temperature guarantees delicious food and perfect beautiful grill marks. Because after all, not only the taste, but also the look of your meals should create an impression on your guests.
Due to the shallow design of the WOW GRIlLL, it can be placed anywhere inside or outside. Discover our range of WOW GRILLs .

Carp Ice
Homemade ice cream is a palate that hardly a guest can resist. The latest highlight is liquid ice cream, which is shaped on a chilled steel plate to form rolls and then garnished with fruits, nuts and sauces. The equipment is supplied by Saro Gastro-Products.
At the Saro Gastro-Foods' ice-cream platter, restaurateurs provide their guests with an extraordinary show experience. Once the platform for ice artists has reached its operating temperature of minus 28 degrees, the finest ice cubes are made from ordinary ice cream within two minutes.
The technique used to make the ice is based on the Stir-Frying process, which allows vegetables to be cooked quickly and gently in the wok. The ice is ready to be eaten at the front-cooking as well. "The preparation of ice cubes is quite easy," says Walter Spangenberg, Managing Director of Saro Gastro-Products. The liquid mass is painted over the teppo-ice plate in rapid movements until it reaches the desired consistency. With the help of pallets the mass can then be pushed to rolls. And the ice teppanyaki can do even more, because on the ice-cold steel plate chocolate art works freeze fast. The Tepp-Ice plate also offers convincing advantages for chocolate makers and pastry makers. Mobile and flexible
The tear-ice plate is variable to the desired cooling temperature adjustable. The experts at Saro Gastro-Products recommend a temperature of minus 28 degrees Celsius for the best preparation of the ice cream rolls. After use, the ice table can be cleaned quickly and easily with a few hands.
Restaurateurs and ice-makers can assemble and combine various ice table elements according to their needs. As a result, the possibilities of use are just as unlimited as the variety of self-made ice cubes.

Big Dream
We’ve created an energy-efficient, long-lasting and hygienic coffee machine equipped with all the features to produce outstanding espresso coffee.

So… why not seek out the best?
Our technical team of dedicated engineers has devoted more than four years to this quest. We wanted to evolve. To change 100 years of history. There were other options out there, and they were better.
At our factory in Barcelona, we have engineered change: more than a century later, we have manufactured the first coffee machine that eschews the conventional materials of the previous century, replacing them completely with stainless steel.
The body is made entirely from 304 grade stainless steel. At 2.5 mm thick, we have created a coffee machine for life.
The machine’s base is also manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel in a high-gloss finish. There are no joints or corners. Hand-welded and polished. The complex manufacturing process, which includes a combination of both artisan and high-tech processes, has produced what we consider to be an extraordinary result. A spectacular and unique piece.
Objects of this complexity and manufacturing skill are no longer made in the 21st century. Mass production and serial manufacturing have done away with them. We wanted to rescue this artisan form of creation using the highest quality materials. To create a beautiful and eternal product.
The body is manufactured from a combination of high-gloss 304 grade stainless steel in areas in contact with water and Baydur for the outer shell.
This is a modern material that combines freedom of design and practicality: excellent mechanical resistance, resistant to high temperatures and a watertight interior.
High-tech, top quality button pad. Button pads in AISI 316 stainless steel with a high-gloss finish and RGB LEDs for a choice of up to 256 colours. A special silicone membrane offers a comfortable yet precise touch experience (soft touch).
With five programmed volume selections. ‘Volume’ refers to the option of setting the quantity of water in each coffee. It means the barista does not to be constantly supervising the extraction process and allows exact parameters to be established for the coffee to be accurately replicated.
High-precision pressure gauge. Casing in AISI 304 stainless steel. Metal hands. Lets the barista see the pump pressure in real time during extraction.
Ergonomic filter holder: the filter holder is one of the most heavily used parts of the machine. It is important that the design facilitates the barista’s work. We focused on various aspects of the handle: designed to fit comfortably in the palm of the hand, conical, conveys a pleasant feeling of strength and safety during use. The 10° tilt facilitates its use, allowing the hand to adopt a natural position.
We use olive wood (Olea europaea) as standard but can also customize the handle with oak or walnut.
Its ergonomic design has been tested by professional baristas.
The stick facilitates use and improves control. It consists of a cam system which is ergonomically more suitable for manual handling. A smooth, intuitive ‘natural’ movement makes it easy to use and control.
When the barista activates the cam, he can adjust the amount of steam in proportion to the level of force exerted. It can also be left completely open.
Made from ‘cool touch’ AISI 316 stainless steel. Very thick (12 mm in diameter). The heat insulation (double stainless steel wall + insulating material) prevents burns and makes it easy to clean any milk residue.
The ergonomic multi-directional design (360º) and length allow easy, flexible movement of the wand so it can be adapted to the size of the jug.
Two types of steam outlet in PEEK (anti-heat). The special design of the steam outlet, with its rounded edges, soft shapes and four tangential steam holes, make it easy to get the perfect consistency of the cream or milk foam.
We offer two types of outlet:
- Outlet with four holes 1.2 mm in diameter, with a smaller steam flow for greater control.
- Outlet with four holes 1.6 mm in diameter with a larger steam flow for heating large quantities of milk.
Rail: Solid and attractive in high-gloss stainless steel.
Spacious adjustable cup warmer (30ºC to 60ºC) in AISI 304 stainless steel.
On/off option. Keeps espresso and cappuccino cups at the perfect temperature for a delicious cup of coffee.
LEDS in the work area. These give the barista a better view of the cup and enhance the visibility of the machine on the bar to showcase its spectacular design.
It is essential that the work area is properly lit, for both practical and quality reasons:
- To control the quality of the coffee.
- As a design or decorative feature.
- To facilitate the barista’s work.
Button panel LEDs. We use state-of-the-art RGB LEDs which offer a choice of up to 256 colours.
Both LED zones (work area and button pads) can be turned on or off independently.
Colour is more than just a shade. It expresses feelings, reveals personality and communicates with others.
We wanted our Big Dream to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor: colour, colour and more colour! A colourful statement of intent.
Colour is its DNA… which is your favourite?
(only if you want, because it’s already so, so beautiful…)
We gave careful thought to the way users can customize their coffee machine to reflect the décor of their café or the coffee roast. Our machines are craft products and this gives us the flexibility to respond to the requirements of our baristas.
We offer the full range of RAL colours (256 in total), accessorized by different fine woods for the filter holder and steam joystick, and we also welcome special requests (personalized logos, printing,stencils , etc.). Just tell us what you need, but first of all take a look at our standard colours and finishes. This is such a beautiful coffee machine as it is…
In the espresso world, when we talk about ergonomics we mean the optimization of the design of the coffee machine so the professional barista can work in the utmost comfort. Basically, what we are looking for is that the barista can perform his ‘choreography’ smoothly, comfortably and happily.
Based on structured data collection, we have designed our machine in line with the different ergonomic parameters demanded by baristas to ensure that their relationship with the Big Dream is a joyous one. The essential elements have been devised and designed so that the creation of an espresso coffee and its specific choreography take place in the most comfortable possible circumstances for the professional barista.
The machine has been designed primarily from the point of view of the barista, but we also took the technician’s perspective very much into account.
This is a nice product to repair! It is easy to dismantle with standard tools. It has very few screws and the components are easily accessible. There is plenty of space to carry out repairs with complete assurance.
This is a key factor to consider in a high quality product.
Good design presupposes that the product can be dismantled and repaired with ease. The idea is that it will last for years and years.
It is a matter of quality, productivity and also sustainability.
We have worked on this component by component.
- Easy access. By just taking out a few screws you have access to all the components: Solenoid valves, heating elements… everything inside the machine.
- Internal valves. We have installed valves to facilitate the machine’s repair either on site or in a workshop.
- Steam wands. Very easy to dismantle. Easy to clean.
- External pump regulation. Easy access
- A special tube locking system in 316 grade stainless steel. We have created a new locking system by eliminating copper and brass. This system allows it to be assembled and dismantled with no risk of loss and with almost no effort.
- Electrical and electronic components protected and insulated from heat sources (boilers). Independent, unified electronic section. Easy access for repairs. The use of insulating material for boilers guarantees a ‘cool’ interior temperature and lengthens the lifespan of all the components, avoiding the need for repairs.
