Kees van der Westen Mirage Duette
KvdW's classic heat-exchanger café machine in 2-group form: a 12.6 l copper boiler at 125 C feeds a 450 cc heat exchanger per group through a thermosyphon loop into heavy brass E61-type groups, with restrictors that let each group be tuned to its own temperature. Groups run on Bastone levers or touchpads with volumetric doses at 9 bar. It is the traditionalist choice in the range, with custom panels to order.
