Kees van der Westen Spirit Triplette
The 3-group Spirit is KvdW's high-output café machine: a 19.5 l copper steam boiler pre-heats water through heat exchangers for 3 separate 2.1 l stainless coffee boilers, each welded to its group and PID-controlled. Two external pumps separate extraction from boiler filling, with a pump per group as an option, and groups are run by a touch pad or Bastone lever with volumetric doses. Built to order with custom panels.
