Kees van der Westen Mirage 3-Group Coffee Machine
Kees van der Westen Mirage 3 group
The Kees Mirage runs a heating system based on the thermo-syphon system. It consists of one large 19 liter copper boiler and is equipped with a heat-exchanger for each group running vertically slanted across the boiler. Beautifully built and designed, this is an awesome e61 HX machine for any cafe. For speciality cafes look at its bigger sibling, the Spirit.
About Kees Van Der Westen
Kees van der Westen has been producing cutting edge Espresso Machines since 1984 from his workshop in the Netherlands. Designer of many iconic machines, Kees has built three models although he has built many one off customs: the Mirage (first release 2001), Speedster (first release 2008) and Spirit (first release 2012). The machines are built to perfection and so beautifully put together they really are works of art. We are biased towards the Kees range as we really do have a soft spot for his work as Kees was the favourite machine builder of Dom Laranjinha, the founder of Coffee Parts.

- Water supply from a water treatment system should be within 1.5m (5ft) of the machine. The water supply hose that comes with the machine has a half ball at the end of the 3/8″ nut connector. Discharge should not be further away than 1.5m, have an internal diameter of at least 32mm (1″ 3/8) and should be fitted with a trap.
