I work in my fifth generation family business. I’m lucky enough to go to work every day with my father and my younger brother (all of us are fanatics about coffee/ making espresso and we pooled our money together to splurge on this). The other day we received our Kees Van Der Westen Spiritello after waiting close to four months for it and it has been an absolute dream. The thing is built like a tank and the shots are super consistent. This thing paired with the Titus DRM is a complete monster. We’re hiring if anyone is interested 😂😂

I was completely unfamiliar with this outrageously beautiful spaceship before seeing your post. Congratulations and enjoy those pulls with your folks. Rare stuff these days. And rarer to have an heirloom quality machine in a sea of disposable things. Take care to be present. Cheers.
Tf is your family’s business?
Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. Where do you work?
EDIT: I see now it’s your family business. Absolutely bananas. Beautiful machine—genuinely hope you enjoy and wish the best of luck to you with getting someone who does excellent maintenance service.
Nice, grab the puq navigator
Immediately I think tax write off. Well played.
My work spent €13000 on a bloody nespresso machine… you have some money very well spent, looks awesome!
Nice setup. Had to look up what a Titus DRM is… not at that level yet. Please tell me you pair these with good beans any recommendations there for extracting goodness?
Absolutely the most beautiful machine ever, congrats!!! Even better to have a few people to enjoy it with who know how to use it.
Hands down the highest budget set up I’ve ever seen here. Sheesh!
Yall are making me feel like an absolute deadbeat for using a Nespresso at work
Good for you guys im jelly
This is definitely a classic coffee machine, but it’s rarely seen.
Is this open to everyone at work to use?
Some would say that setup is to die for!
You see “endgame” thrown around a lot on this sub. This is actually it. Well done.
That Flat Max is worth mentioning, too.
Wow fantastic set-up. My family member who owns a cafe has a KvdW spirit. Excellent machine.
Glad you guys are enjoying your spiritello! And the Titus – wow
I love the backsplash. It’s amazing 🤩
Congratulations !! That is an amazing setup. Also very special that you can all share in the same hobby. Very cool.
Wait, what state I could use a part time job
Amazing set up! Do me a favor and move the PuqPress next to the grinders though.
What’s the total setup here cost? Like $80,000?
I’ve got to see this beauty in action.
yeah this is not the kind of setup you “save up for”, money is already there or it isn’t, no shame in that tho
Beautiful machine, did you get to customize the finishes? Any hiccups with tariffs?
Very nice. As nice as the Spiritello is, I think the Titus is responsible for a lot of the consistency. They pair beautifully.
