VIRTUAL ENDLESS CUSTOMISATION POSSIBILITIES

Next to the high build quality and strong performance in extraction and steam, the main point of difference of the Kees van der Westen espresso machine, since 1984, has been their design and they intend to exploit this experience to the full extent. The Slim Jim will be offered in a wide array of appearances. Everyone can now have their own bespoke machine, be it the aspiring espresso bar owner or a chain of shops. Many different visually defining parts can be chosen; legs, front panels, side panels, cup rails, colours, awnings, colour of knobs / handles, groups, and so on. Furthermore, all parts are interchangeable allowing the Slim Jim to be evolved or adapted over time.

Here is a list of Slim Jim features and options...

A state of the art multiple boiler machine developed with the demands of very high output espresso bars in mind and equipped with well-considered ergonomics - an efficient high precision tool with enormous capacity. It is equipped as standard with 2 external pumps - one to extract coffee, one to re-fill the steam boiler and to add some cold water to the hot water spout. This to ensure the steam boiler will be re-filled without affecting the coffee extraction, even during very busy times when for hours on-end one or more groups are activated and also to ensure the hot water supply is always at the correct same temperature, the re-fill of the steam boiler is deactivated during hot water supply.

Developed with the demands of very high output espresso bars in mind: equipped with well-considered ergonomics: an efficient high precision tool with enormous capacity.

The Spirit was built with a single goal in mind: A machine that delivers extreme precision no matter what you throw at it. Combining the hyper-precise qualities of the Speedster with an extreme power does exactly that and more.

The ultimate single group espresso machine providing extreme precision & maximum control in a rigid package. The Speedster is equipped with two separately functioning boilers... one large steam boiler to produce hot water and steam and one with a group to heat water to brew coffee. Each boiler has its own electronic temperature controller system, heating element and safety devices, offering extremely precise temperature stability. High capacity is ensured by the large steam boiler, over-rated heating elements in both boilers and a heat-exchanger inside the steam boiler, pre-heating the brew water for the large dedicated coffee boiler.
