WHY WE LOVE THE KEES VAN DER WESTERN - MIRAGE SLIM JIM

• Auto-back-flush program, all groups pressurize and discharge simultaneously 8 times.
• Energy saving hot water system. Some cold is added to the hot water, so less heated water is needed. This mix provides a steady, non-spattering stream with the correct temperature to prepare Americanos. The hot water is  controlled by a quick to adjust timer.
• Bastone lever offers 2 automatic volumes plus continuous.
• Drip tray adjustable in height
• Stainless steel filter holders with KvdW POM handles.
• PID controlled temperature, with energy saving Eco mode for nights and/or weekends.
• Standard equipped with a Progressive Pre-Infusion Cylinder per group. This allows a finer grind, creating more surface, so a higher yield in the cup, less chance on channelling, preventing fines to travel down.
• Wide choice in filter baskets, both sizes as types.
• Rubber group gaskets remain flexible forever, do not become hard or brittle.
• Membrane type group screen, very nice dispersion, less coffee sucked up by discharge of pressure at end of extraction. Remains clean longer.
• Heavily protected heating element
• Entire frame in stainless steel only
• Large boiler capacity: 19ltr for the Triplette.
• Elevated position of body, easy cleaning of bar surface.

THE MIRAGE SLIM JIM

The mirage was born from the desire to create a commercial espresso machine that integrates all of KVDW's knowledge of the classic thermo-syphon loop heat-exchanger system to realise a high precision machine. This machine boasts a modern updated version of the well-proven “e61” type system, offering everything you need from a professional espresso machine: meticulous temperature stability, a beautiful pre-infusion and huge steam capacity.

• Multiple Boiler System: Separate boiler per group
• Progressive pre-infusion: two stages
• Actual extraction pressure
• Adjustable dual temperature hot water
• Dual volumetric
• Large boiler capacity: 13ltr. with Duette, 19ltr. for the Triplette.
