Meet the latest member of Kees Van Der Westen family of machines.
This machine combines features from both the classic mirage and high-end spirit. The Slim Jim carries KVDW signature espresso machine design looks and continues their tradition of performance and build quality.
Why do we love Kees Van Der Westen - Slim Jim (Back Order)
Equipped with multiple boilers: one large stainless-steel steam boiler to produce hot water and steam, one stainless steel boiler per group to brew coffee.
Very large shot timers, installed in full view, right below each group.
Intuitive operation by levers (bastones) that offer 2 automatic shot volumes per group.
Slow automatic infusion process, with stepless build-up of pressure to full extraction mode. This allows a finer grind, creating more surface, so a higher yield in the cup, less chance of channelling, preventing fines to travel down.
10.5 litre steam boiler has 4800 or 6000W heating power and large heat exchanger with thermo-siphon controlled distribution block.
Electronic temperature control at distribution block feeds individual 0.8 litre self-bleeding coffee-boilers with 450W heating power each.
Two-temperature hot water system: Either instantaneous from the steam boiler or some cold added to provide a steady, non-spattering stream with the correct temperature to prepare Americanos.
Drip tray quickly adjustable in height
Stainless steel filter holders with KvdW handles; wide choice in filter baskets, both sizes as types; enduring flexibility of group gaskets, they do not become hard or brittle.
Membrane type group screen and polymer dispersion blocks account for very nice dispersion and will remain clean long.
Auto-back-flush program, all groups pressurize and discharge simultaneously 8 times.
Energy saving ECO mode for individual boilers or entire machine. Automatic ECO-OFF-ON times can be programmed.
Heavily protected heating element (extra safety level probe, cut-out switches, machine shuts down when any of the solenoid valves remains open for longer than 120 seconds).
Entire frame, boilers and manifolds in stainless steel only.
Elevated position of body, easy cleaning of bar surface, yet low enough to allow comfortable barista-customer contact.
