Description

Di Pacci — Commercial Espresso — Kees van der Westen

The Kees van der Westen Spirit is one of the most iconic and revered commercial espresso machines in the world — a hand-built Dutch masterpiece designed by Kees van der Westen and assembled in his workshop in Waalre, Netherlands. The Spirit is custom-fabricated to order, blending sculptural industrial design with mechanical precision and uncompromising thermal stability.

Available in 2-group (Duette), 3-group (Triplette), and 4-group configurations, the Spirit is the machine of choice for award-winning specialty cafés, world-class roasters, and hospitality venues that demand the absolute best. What separates the Spirit from every other commercial espresso machine is its multi-boiler architecture: a dedicated 2.1L coffee boiler per group, plus a large copper steam boiler with heat exchangers that pre-heat brew water to optimal temperature before it enters the group boilers.

Why The Spirit Stands Apart

Dedicated Coffee Boiler Per GroupEach group has its own 2.1L coffee boiler with independent PID temperature control — the most stable brew temperature in the industry. No cooling flushes, perfect shot-to-shot consistency.
Large Copper Steam Boiler10.5L (Duette) / 19.5L (Triplette) pure copper steam boiler with PID. Copper resists aggressive water and lasts decades — a hallmark of every Spirit.
Heat Exchangers Pre-Heat BrewHX inside the steam boiler pre-heat brew water before it enters the dedicated coffee boilers. Over-rated heating elements deliver massive capacity for the busiest service.
Dual Pump System (Standard)2 external pumps: 1 dedicated to extraction, 1 to refill the steam boiler and deliver tea water. Steam boiler refill stays separate from extraction — no pressure dips during busy service.
Idro-Matic Pre-Infusion (Optional)Adjustable progressive pre-infusion cylinder offers a wide variation of starting pressures. Customizable per group — tune extraction to coffee, roast, and recipe.
Hand-Built, Custom to OrderEach Spirit is individually assembled in Waalre. Custom RAL colors, Bastone lever or Touchpad controls, and a wide range of options personalize each build.

About This Machine

Where is the Kees van der Westen Spirit made?
The Spirit is hand-built in Waalre, Netherlands by Kees van der Westen and his team. Every machine is individually assembled with strict quality control, in limited annual production. Each Spirit is custom-fabricated to order — highly customizable from RAL colors and crackle black finishes to Bastone vs Touchpad controls and optional Idro-matic pre-infusion.
What's the difference between Duette, Triplette, and 4 group?
These are the 2-group (Duette), 3-group (Triplette), and 4-group versions of the same Spirit machine. More groups means higher simultaneous brewing capacity and a larger copper steam boiler (10.5L Duette / 19.5L Triplette). The Duette suits boutique cafés (~150 cups/day), the Triplette suits busy specialty cafés (~300+ cups/day), and the 4 group suits the highest-volume installations.
What makes the Spirit's thermal stability so legendary?
Three things working together: (1) a dedicated 2.1L coffee boiler per group with independent PID — no shared brewing path between groups. (2) Heat exchangers inside the large copper steam boiler pre-heat brew water before it reaches the coffee boilers — over-rated heating elements deliver massive capacity. (3) Thermo-syphon circulation continues all the way through the group head to the brew water pickup at the sweet spot, ensuring the most stable temperature at the very point of extraction.
Is professional installation required?
Yes. The Spirit requires plumbed water from a treatment system, drainage with a trap, external pump space, and typically 3-phase electrical service. Solid countertop required (90–125 kg). Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper performance and warranty coverage. Our team can advise on US-spec configuration and installation requirements before you order.
What's the lead time for a Spirit?
Because each machine is hand-assembled to order in limited production, lead times typically run several weeks to months depending on configuration and customization. Contact our team for current availability and delivery timeframes for your chosen 2-group, 3-group, or 4-group setup.
