Scottie's Coffee Trips

Kees Van Der Westen - Apr'10
Kees, as he is often called, is respected all over the world as the creator of some of the best espresso machines in the planet; namely the 'Speedster' the 'Mirage' and the 'Mistral'. I was very fortunate to spend some time with Kees where he lives in Eindhoven, Holland. That's where Kees showed his renowned hospitality and was kind enough to explain to me some of his innovative ideas, design and construction of his great machines.

In the early days Kees would use this machine at trade shows to attract attention. It is basically a Speedster with some creative lights and all the internals exposed. A great way to get attention and then explain to people what's on the inside. And typical Kees style.
