Kees van der Westen Spirit 2-Group Coffee Machine
Kees van der Westen Spirit 2 group
This is our personal favourite commercial espresso machine, with amazing build quality, looks and performance. The Spirit has presence in any cafe, and can be customised to suite any look from a neat clean classy fitout to a grungy industrial warehouse design! This can be done at the Kees factory or with the help of our extended network of friends and passionate individuals.
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.
Options
Dimensions
Approximate dimensions and footprints of the Mirages are shown in the illustrations. The black circles are the rubber feet. The optimal countertop feedthrough of 60mm (2.4″) is within the grey square. Check the pre-install guide for recommended feedthrough sizes.
Weight
- The countertop should provide a solid base to carry the full weight of the machine (roughly 90kg for the Duette and 125kg for the Triplette).
Water Supply
- 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 40mm (1.5″) and should be fitted with a trap. There must be space nearby to locate the water pump with its electrical motor.
