Kees van der Westen Slim Jim Triplette
The 3-group Slim Jim is a compact multi-boiler café machine: an insulated 10.5 l stainless steam boiler pre-heats water for 3 PID-controlled 0.8 l coffee boilers, each welded to its group. A spring-loaded pre-infusion cylinder ramps pressure gently before the external rotary pump takes over, and groups run on Bastone levers or touchpads with volumetric doses. A 6000 W high-power steam version is offered.
