La Spaziale Vivaldi II Espresso Machine

La Spaziale Vivaldi II Direct-Plumb Dual-Boiler Espresso Machine

The La Spaziale Vivaldi II is a compact, direct-plumb espresso machine for home coffee bars that want a permanent water connection, rotary-pump operation and a larger steam reserve. A dedicated 0.45-liter coffee boiler handles extraction while the 2.5-liter service boiler supplies steam and hot water.

Volumetric dosing, one-degree brew-temperature adjustment, programmable passive pre-infusion and a dual pressure gauge make the Vivaldi II unusually capable without relying on a large E61-style chassis. It is best suited to an installation where water, drain and electrical details can be planned before delivery.

Why Choose the Vivaldi II?

Direct water and rotary pump

The Vivaldi II connects to a treated water supply rather than an internal reservoir. Its rotary pump supports quiet, consistent operation and removes routine tank refilling, but the installation requires an accessible shutoff and correctly selected treatment.

Separate brew and steam boilers

The 0.45-liter coffee boiler maintains the selected extraction temperature independently from the 2.5-liter steam boiler. That separation supports simultaneous brewing and steaming and gives the Vivaldi II more milk capacity than the reservoir-fed Mini.

Programmable volumetrics and pre-infusion

Program automatic single and double portions for a repeatable workflow or use manual delivery. Passive pre-infusion can be set from approximately one to eight seconds, providing a gentle initial wetting period before full extraction.

Fine temperature calibration

The front display adjusts the brew setting in one-degree increments. An offset adjustment lets a technician calibrate the displayed setpoint to measured group delivery temperature when necessary.

53 mm La Spaziale group

The deeper 53 mm basket geometry is a defining part of the S1 platform. Use baskets, tampers and bottomless portafilters made specifically for La Spaziale rather than assuming standard 58 mm accessories will fit.

Vivaldi II Specifications

Vivaldi II vs. Mini Vivaldi II

Choose the Vivaldi II when a fixed plumbing installation and greater milk-drink capacity are priorities. Choose the Mini when reservoir convenience matters more. For touchscreen control and multiple user profiles, compare the direct-plumb Dream.

Installation and Water Planning

Plan the water path before the machine arrives: source-water test, treatment system, shutoff, pressure management if needed, machine inlet and drain. The included connection hardware may not cover every installation. Use a qualified installer and verify local plumbing rules.

Water chemistry affects flavor, scale and corrosion. Test hardness, alkalinity, chloride and total dissolved solids and select treatment for the actual results. Review our water-hardness testing guide.

Cleaning and Ownership

Backflush the group, clean baskets and portafilters, purge and wipe the steam wand, and keep the drip tray and drain path clear. Replace the group gasket and shower screen as wear requires. A plumbed machine still needs preventive inspection; permanent water does not remove the need to monitor treatment capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Vivaldi II have a water tank?

No. This model is designed for a direct water connection. Choose the Mini Vivaldi II when a reservoir is required.

Does it require a drain?

A planned drain is strongly recommended for a permanent plumbed installation. Confirm the exact drain kit and local requirements with your installer.

Can it brew and steam simultaneously?

Yes. It uses separate brew and steam boilers.

How is its pre-infusion different from pressure profiling?

The machine provides a programmable passive wetting period before full extraction. It does not create a programmable pressure curve through the shot.

Is the rotary pump adjustable?

Pump pressure can be checked on the dual gauge and adjusted during service. Adjustment should be performed carefully using the correct procedure.

Does it use 58 mm accessories?

No. It uses La Spaziale's 53 mm group and requires compatible baskets, tampers and portafilters.

Can it be used commercially?

This listing is sold as a residential-use machine. Commercial use can void the applicable warranty.

What water treatment should I use?

Treatment must be selected from a water test. A generic carbon filter may improve taste but does not necessarily control hardness or corrosion risk.
