Used Kees Van Der Westen Mirage Duette 2 Group – Black Sides

The Kees Van Der Westen Mirage Duette is a high-performance 2-group espresso machine that serves as a modern evolution of the classic heat-exchanger system. Originally born from Kees’ 1984 industrial design studies and officially released in 2001, the Mirage is renowned for its technically elegant and efficient workflow. This specific used unit features a polished Stainless Steel body accented by professional Black Side Panels, providing a sleek, industrial aesthetic for specialty coffee bars.

Built around a highly optimized E61-style thermo-syphon system, the Mirage Duette ensures meticulous temperature stability and a natural, progressive pre-infusion. This allows baristas to achieve high extraction yields and consistent flavor clarity. With a massive copper boiler, this 2-group “Duette” provides an almost inexhaustible supply of steam, making it ideal for cafes that require high-speed performance in a slightly more compact footprint than the 3-group version.

Key Features:

• Custom Black Side Panels: Milled and polished panels finished in a durable black coating for a sophisticated, modern look.

• Thermo-Syphon System: An updated E61-style extraction loop with a 4kg (8.8 lbs) brass group head for meticulous thermal stability.

• Auto-Volumetric Controls: Features 4 programmable dose buttons per group plus a manual continuous flow button for efficiency during busy shifts.

• Massive Copper Boiler: Designed for high steam capacity and rapid thermal recovery, ensuring no downtime during peak morning rushes.

• Passive Pre-Infusion: Naturally occurring pre-infusion gently saturates the coffee puck to prevent channeling and enhance sweetness.

• PID Temperature Control: High-precision digital controller allows for easy monitoring and fine-tuning of the boiler temperature.

• Industrial Stainless Build: Heavy-duty 3mm (0.1 in) stainless steel frame and polished panels built for lifelong commercial durability.

Condition: This is a used item. It has been professionally bench-tested and serviced. It may show signs of wear consistent with a commercial environment, such as light surface scratches on the stainless steel or typical wear on the drip tray and portafilters.
