Di Pacci USA — Hand-Built Thermo-Syphon Commercial Espresso Machine

Kees van der Westen Mirage Coffee Machine

The Kees van der Westen Mirage pairs a large copper boiler with a thermo-syphon brass group, built to hold temperature and steam capacity through a busy service.

The Kees van der Westen Mirage is a hand-built commercial espresso machine made to order in the Netherlands, offered as the 2 group Duette and the 3 group Triplette. One large copper boiler (13 liters on the Duette, 19 liters on the Triplette) runs at 125°C under PID control and feeds a 450 ml heat exchanger for each group.

What sets it apart is the group. Kees van der Westen took the proven E61 thermo-syphon idea and rebuilt it with an enlarged 35 ml rear chamber, an almost 4 kg brass body, and the 3-way solenoid moved inside the bodywork. Restrictors on each heat exchanger let you run each group at its own temperature, while the boiler stays hot enough for serious steam.

Why Choose the Mirage

🔥 Thermo-syphon brass groups

Each group is an almost 4 kg brass body fed by its own heat exchanger, so shot temperature stays steady even after the boiler refills.

🎯 Per-group temperature

Restrictors on each heat exchanger set group temperature, so one head can suit a light roast and another a darker blend.

🎚️ Touchpad or Bastone lever

Choose a touchpad with four programmable volumes plus continuous, or the Bastone lever with two volumes; you can swap later.

💨 Large copper boiler

13 liters on the Duette and 19 liters on the Triplette at 125°C gives deep steam reserves for back-to-back milk drinks.

🧼 Automatic backflush

A built-in program pressurizes and discharges all groups together, making the nightly clean quick and consistent.

🛡️ Protected heating

A safety level probe and a cut-out against the element, plus a shutdown if a solenoid stays open over 120 seconds.

About This Machine

Does the Kees van der Westen Mirage have an E61 group?

Not a standard one. The Mirage uses Kees van der Westen's own thermo-syphon group, an updated E61-type design with an enlarged rear chamber, an almost 4 kg brass body, and the 3-way solenoid moved inside the bodywork.

What is the difference between the Mirage Duette and Triplette?

The Duette is the 2 group with a 13 liter boiler and 3200 W heating, or 4800 W with the High Power option. The Triplette is the 3 group with a 19 liter boiler and 6000 W heating.

What power supply does the Mirage need?

It runs on 220 to 240 V. The standard Duette is single phase with a 15.7 A peak, so it needs a dedicated circuit. Talk to our team and your electrician to confirm the correct circuit for your location and for the Triplette or High Power option.

Can each group run at a different temperature?

Yes. Each heat exchanger has a restrictor that sets its group's temperature, and adjustable restrictors are available, so you can run a light roast and a darker blend side by side.
