Ascaso Espresso, Cappuccino, & Coffee
Center
For more than 40 years in the espresso world, Ascaso has transformed
to build not only a reputation on quality which is unheard of
with espresso machine manufacturers in Spain, but also
Jesús Ascaso, the founding father of today's Ascaso, was
born in a humble mountain town in the north section of Spain.
He was a man with an entrepreneurial spirit. Since his small town
offered him very little opportunity, Jesús left for Barcelona
with the equivalent of $30 in his pocket and a head full ideas.
In the 50's, espresso started to become popular in Spain, and
in Barcelona espresso popularity led to a flourishing industry.
In 1950, Jesús Ascaso began to work for a supplier of spare
parts for espresso machines. His main task was chrome-plating
parts. Between 1952-1962, Jesús worked on the production
line at Gaggia making espresso parts for consumer espresso machines
throughout the world.
Jesús then decided to supply all brands of spare parts
to the entire espresso machine industry at lower prices. In 1962,
Jesús opened his own company in Barcelona, Spain. Today,
Ascaso sells it products to more than 50 countries in the world.
José luis Ascaso, son of Jesús, has been the current
force in the diversification of Ascaso Factory in the last 10
years. He created a espresso machine factory to unify his knowledge
of espresso components, espresos machines, and espresso culture.
"For coffee lovers" was born. Now, José idea
is quite a reality that other manufacturers envy: a range of espresso
coffee machines for homes and offices with a special design and
a professional concept. Today, Jesús Ascaso works in his
factory about 18 hours per day for six months of the year. For
the other six months, he lives in the town he left over 50 years
ago - taking care of his tomatoes and honey.
