In 1969, a team of coffee connoisseurs set out to develop a line of what they hoped to be some of the best espresso makers one day. This is how La Spaziale was born. Today, they’re among the leading brands within the coffee industry with lots of knowledge, experience, and quality appliances under their belt. 

Among their line of espresso makers is the La Spaziale S1 Vivaldi II. In this guide, we will go over who this machine is designed for, its features, and whether it’s right for your kitchen. 

Who is the La Spaziale S1 Vivaldi 2 For?

Do you want an espresso machine, but don’t have space for it? The La Spaziale S1 Vivaldi 2 may just offer the solution you need. Sitting at 15”(H) x 16.50”(W) x 16.50”(D), this machine will comfortably sit into a small space while delivering the power of a large machine. 

Not only does it have a small footprint, but its water tank is located at the front of the machine as opposed to the back. This makes it easy to remove without having to move your appliance. Just pull the water reservoir out like you would a drawer. It’s that simple!

What Makes This Espresso Machine Special? 

Our team discovered many reasons coffee lovers would want this espresso machine in their homes. Here are the top ones: 

  • – Two Boilers. There are dual boilers within this machine. The .45 liter boiler is for espresso and the second 2.5 liter boiler is for steam, microfoam, and hot water dispensing. This function means you can brew and steam at the same time!
  • – Digital Temperature Control. The La Spaziale espresso maker showcases a row of display LEDs. This allows us to monitor and adjust brewing temperatures. We were able to tell just by glancing at this machine the exact temperature the boiler is at.
  • – Offers 15 or 20 Amp Operation. You can select either a 15 or 20 amp operation. The 15 is most common for households, while the 20 is great for small cafes. Note that the 15 amps only operate one boiler at a time. For both of them to be working simultaneously, you need 20 amps.
  • – Easy to Access Water Tank. This has to be one of our favorite features. The La Spaziale S1 Vivaldi 2 has a water reservoir located at the front of the machine as opposed to the back like most machines. This made it easy to access – just pull it out like a drawer!

This espresso machine comes with several surprises. The above is just a small piece of the puzzle when it comes to the neat benefits offered. 

Why Should I Buy The La Spaziale Vivaldi 2? 

Temperature is one of the most important factors when making that perfect shot of espresso. The La Spaziale Vivaldi 2 is designed with a new and improved temperature accuracy probe and electronic control system. This means users will have better control over the brewing temperature and they can access the temperature just by glancing at the machine. 

All in all, this espresso maker offers an innovative and foolproof way to make a shot (or two) of espresso. You’ll enjoy the smooth crema that flows out from the machine and into your cup. We know we did!
