Expertly craft coffee shop-worthy drinks from the comfort of your own kitchen with the La Spaziale Vivaldi II Espresso Machine. With a sleek and compact design standing at just 15" tall, it can easily fit on your countertops, while its elegant appearance may make it a focal point in your space. After a successful initial release, the S1 Vivaldi II model was redesigned with our expertise. It was met with great acclaim, winning the CoffeeGeek Editor's Choice Award for Best New Product in 2006. But our dedication to improvement didn't stop there. Discover the upgraded features of this state-of-the-art stainless steel espresso machine below.

The La Spaziale Vivaldi II single group, the dual boiler espresso machine is no longer all that "new". After selling more than 500 of the original Vivaldi I machines, reading threads, and talking to our customers about their wish list, we sat down with La Spaziale and made improvements to the Original Vivaldi I and designed the Vivaldi II. We have been selling the Vivaldi II since the beginning of November 2006 and have now sold over 2,000 units. The Vivaldi II was awarded the Coffeegeek Editors Choice Award for Best New Product in 2006. Unlike the original Vivaldi I machine, that we did not have as much to do with its design, the changes to Vivaldi II are all ours. We thought the Vivaldi II was perfect like it was.

Exterior Design

The top cover has been revamped to remove the Plexi cup guard, resulting in a more user-friendly design. The previous cup guard had a tendency to break, causing gaps along the edges. This modification also reduces the machine's overall height to a mere 15 inches. Additionally, the machine's portafilters have undergone a redesign. The machine comes equipped with our renowned 4-hole, 0.9mm steam tip as a standard feature.

Programmable Passive Pre-Infusion

Machines shipped after June 26th of 2008 are equipped with the ability to program Passive Pre Infusion for 1 to 8 seconds. This feature, similar to those found in more expensive models, allows you to control both the duration and water volume of the pre-infusion process. Unlike E61 machines, where pre-infusion is fixed, you have the flexibility to customize the pre-infusion to suit your specific coffee preferences. Once you have set your desired pre-infusion, you can simply press a button to start brewing.

Programmable Offset Differential

This feature enables you to match the LED temperature display on the machine's front to the temperature at the group, instead of the temperature inside the group boiler. Additionally, our team sets this during the bench test for every machine before shipping, eliminating the need for you to purchase costly equipment to perform these tests and adjustments.

Dual Manometer

It is no longer necessary to purchase a portafilter with a pressure gauge to either check or make adjustments to your pump's output pressure.

0.9mm Four Hole Steam Tip

The Vivaldi II Now comes equipped with the NEW 0.9 mm four hole steam tip as standard: This NEW 0.9 mm four hole steam tip on this machine is one of the easiest to produce excellent micro foam fast and easy even with small quantities of milk.

Decreased Delta

The previous model would require a temperature drop of one degree Celsius to activate the heater, but the NEW Vivaldi II only needs a drop of one half degree Celsius. This leads to even more precise temperature accuracy in the group boiler and improved performance in the steam boilers. In short, this feature greatly enhances the overall functionality of the machine.

Updated Temperature Sensing Probe

The new probe is actually submerged directly into the boilers. This probe has proven to be more reliable than the previous style and has a quicker reaction time.

New LED Display

The previous display showed 5-degree increments, from 85 to 120 degrees Celsius. The NEW Vivaldi II displays in 1-degree increments, from 91 to 97 degrees Celsius.

The S1 Vivaldi II can only be used in 15 amp mode but will continue to have a 20 amp plug on the machine, so a converter cord will be included with all Vivaldi machines.

Updates

As of December 2021, the Vivaldi now has bluetooth connectivity built into the software.
