Kess Van Der Westen Espresso Machine.

The Kees van der Westen espresso machine, distributed in the UK exclusively by Qualitasse, is proving a BIG hit with people who really know about their coffee.

None other than the World Barista Champion, Gwilym Davies, has just taken delivery of one of these espresso machines - the Mirage.  You can taste the results at Prufrock Coffee @ Woodhouse which is in Notting Hill, London, W11 2SB.

Also proving the Kees is not only for world champion barista''s, you can also experience the results at Palmers Garden Centre in Yeovil !  They have a 3 Group Mirage machine used in their garden centre cafe, or you can grab some fish and chips and a coffee next door at Palmers Fish and Chips !

The Kees van der Westen has a dedicated web site for the UK, at www.espressoworks.co.uk, and an active blog atp://espressoworks.blogspot.com.

When buying any espresso machine, the operator, or barista, is the main quality control link in the complicated chain that joins together to create the perfect espresso, so it''s reassuring to know that Qualitasse employ a City and Guilds trained barista who can offer ad-hoc barista training, foundation and essentials barista training courses, or you can gain your own City and Guilds Barista training qualification.
