Why Do We Love Kees Van Der Westen - The Spiritello ?
Spiritello offers a dual boiler system. Both boilers are made in stainless steel 316L, which is more resistant against aggressive water than stainless steel 304 and has a long life expectancy in an espresso machine. Each can be switched on or off separately. Filter holders are in stainless too. Both boilers can be easily drained through a ball valve. The coffee boiler`s drain is connected to the drain tray. A fitting with hose is supplied to drain the steam boiler.
Large steam boiler with total volume of 3.5ltr. Together with two 900Watt heating spirals controlled by a PID system, this ensures powerful and long lasting steam. Hot water is mixed with some cold, to deliver a non-spattering flow from the spout, at the touch of a button. The final temperature can be easily adjusted with a screw driver, reaching a jet through a hole in the body work. The hot water quantity can be adjusted through the display. The steam valve has a turning knob, but can be ordered with a small toggle type lever as well. The wand is in double walled stainless, finished by a PEEK tip. No milk will burn on.
The Spiritello Feature :
HOT WATER TEMPERATURE : The temperature of the hot water is precisely adjustable by turning a jet, to be reached with a screw driver through a hole at top of left hand body panel.
PRESSURE GAUGE : The pressure gauge shows the actual pressure, right at the puck.
ADJUSTABLE PRE-INFUSION PRESSURE : The pre-infusion pressure is adjustable from 1.5 to 4.0 bar, by a large knob within easy reach underneath the machine. This infusion, as well as the subsequent extraction, pressure, is shown at the pressure gauge.
LOCKING MECHANISM: Our distinctive Idrocompresso group is designed with a newly developed effective and reliable locking mechanism, which virtually eliminates the danger of a bouncing lever. This system does away with the old danger of fast moving heavy metal colliding with fragile human parts.
EASY FLUSH & STOP EXTRACTION : The Spiritello offers the possibility to stop extraction and flush the group without pulling the big lever. There’s a small button next to the lever for this function. Pushed during extraction, it will stop the shot immediately and the lever will quietly return to its resting position. Right next to it, there’s another button to easily purge and clean the group screen
DJUSTABLE SPRING PRESSURE : Extraction pressure is adjustable by turning a disc on top of the spring. A small tool to turn this disc without effort comes with the machine.
