Kees van der Westen Mirage Triplette – 3-Group E61 Heat Exchanger Machine

Kees van der Westen Mirage Triplette: thermosyphon brewing across three heads

The Mirage takes the proven E61 idea and reworks it for a busy commercial bar. Inside sits one large copper boiler, with a heat exchanger and a separate thermosyphon loop serving each of the three groups, so every head circulates its own hot water.

Hands-on extraction

This three-group version is listed without volumetric dosing, which means baristas start and stop each shot themselves, guided by the built-in shot timers and PID temperature control. The E61-type head gives a soft, progressive pre-infusion before full pressure. With 19 litres of boiler water behind the wands, steam output keeps up when the milk jug queue grows.

A machine made for your space

Each Mirage is built to order, so panels and exterior details can be chosen to match a particular café concept rather than taken off the shelf. That makes it a strong choice for a new fit-out where the espresso machine is the centrepiece of the counter.

Does a three-group Mirage suit you?

It rewards skilled staff who like to judge every pour by eye and timer. Smaller teams after programmable volumes should look at the Mirage Duette. Add a commercial grinder and our roasted coffee beans to complete the bar.
