Questions about the Kees van der Westen Slim Jim Triplette 3 Group Espresso Machine6
What is the difference between the Slim Jim and the Slim Jim Idrocompresso?

Both are multiple boiler machines on the Slim Jim platform, with a PID controlled coffee boiler of about 0.8 L per group and an insulated 10.5 L steam boiler. The Slim Jim is activated by Bastone or touchpad and uses a double spring progressive pre-infusion cylinder.

The Idrocompresso is a lever machine: each group has a spring lever with adjustable spring pressure, an automatic relief valve that prevents the portafilter sneeze, and a small extra lever to flush the group screen or stop extraction at any time.

What is the High Power version of the Slim Jim?

The Slim Jim and Slim Jim Idrocompresso are offered in a Normal and a High Power version. The Normal version has 4800 W of steam boiler heating power, the High Power version 6000 W. Both run on 220-240 V, 50 or 60 Hz, in single phase or three phase.

Touchpad or Bastone: how are the groups activated?

Each group is activated either by a touchpad with 4 programmable volumetric buttons plus continuous flow, or by the Bastone, a small lever with two programmable volumetric settings and continuous flow via a pushbutton. The Bastone can also be programmed for full manual control. On the Spirit the touchpad can be swapped for a Bastone bracket, or the other way round, also later.

Can a Kees van der Westen machine be built in a custom colour?

Yes. Kees van der Westen offers on all its machines the option to have the body work powder coated in a RAL colour of your choice, in a smooth or textured finish and in gloss, silk or matt. On many models the frame can be finished in a different colour too. Custom machines are built on request, so details can vary per build and are agreed when the machine is ordered.

What electrical supply do Kees van der Westen machines need?

The Spirit, Slim Jim, Slim Jim Idrocompresso, Mirage and Speedster are specified for 220-240 V. Depending on the model and power version they run on single phase or three phase; no 110-120 V version is listed for these models.

Check the model's pre-installation guide and have a licensed electrician prepare a dedicated circuit before the machine arrives.

What water and drain connections are needed?

These machines are plumbed in. The water supply should come from a water treatment system within 1.5 m (5 ft) of the machine; the supplied water hose has a 3/8 in nut connector. The drain should also be within 1.5 m and fitted with a trap, with a minimum internal diameter of 25 mm (1 in) for the Speedster, 32 mm for the Slim Jim models and 40 mm (1.5 in) for the Spirit. Leave space nearby for the water pump and its motor. The Mirage requirements are in its pre-installation guide.
