Speedster: "The Indigo & Walnut"
Crafted by Kees van der Westen, the Speedster is a single-group espresso machine that combines custom hot-rod styling with extreme extraction precision. Built around a fully saturated brew group, dual-boiler architecture, and dynamic pre-infusion systems, it delivers ultimate extraction stability alongside commercial-grade steam power.
Product Overview
The Speedster represents the pinnacle of single-group commercial engineering for the dedicated barista. Utilizing heavy-duty 316L stainless steel boilers, a heat-exchanger pre-heating system, and dual PID temperature control, it maintains steady temperature management.
Plumbed directly to water mains with an external commercial rotary pump, the Speedster is built for high-end home setups, executive offices, or specialty boutique coffee bars requiring rapid workflow and extraction control.

Key Features
Standard Progressive Pre-Infusion: Saturated brew group pre-infusion mechanism to finely control initial infusion pressure and flow rate for optimal extraction stability.
Dual Boiler System with Heat Exchanger: Features a dedicated 2.1L coffee boiler and a 3.5L steam boiler (316L stainless steel) with an internal heat exchanger that pre-heats incoming brew water for temperature stability.
Flip Flop Steam Valve: Lever-actuated steam control for immediate full steam pressure engagement and effortless texturing.
POM Polymer Diffuser & Self-Bleeding Group: Fully saturated group with a heat-neutral POM polymer diffuser block to resist coffee oil baking, keep clean longer, and bleed trapped air automatically.
Dual-Temperature Hot Water System: A dual-action toggle provides boiling water when pulled up, or an adjustable mix of hot and cold water when pushed down for non-spattering Americanos.
Precision PID Control: Independent PID electronic temperature management driving solid-state relays on both boilers, with the coffee boiler display adjustable to 0.1°C.
Commercial Steam Wand: Stainless steel wand with a 4-hole fan-shaped tip (4 x 1.2mm) powered by a 3.5L dedicated steam vessel.
Adjustable Drip Tray: Height-adjustable drip tray to accommodate varying cup clearance heights.
External Rotary Pump: Powered by an external commercial-grade rotary pump and motor assembly for quiet, heavy-duty operation.
