This shiny, silver beauty is the new commercial espresso machine from Kees van der Westen. The Speedster has duel boilers (one for the coffee and one for the steam), a digital temperature control, Teflon lined portafilters and a cool shifter knob to pull the shots.
Made in Holland, this machine can be ordered with custom colored side panels and sells for around 5000 Euros.
Like any espresso machine designed for commercial use, this one would be pretty high maintenance for home use. It requires a high degree of water filtration, 220V power and an experienced espresso technician to keep it running properly.
Ah, who cares what the costs are? This is an incredible and beautiful machine that can produce espresso that is truly sublime.
