Speedster "Soot & Steel"
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.
