La Spaziale Mini Vivaldi II Dual-Boiler Espresso Machine
The La Spaziale Mini Vivaldi II brings the temperature stability and steam performance of the S1 platform to kitchens that cannot accommodate a direct water connection. It combines a 0.45-liter brew boiler with a 1.2-liter steam boiler, volumetric shot buttons, adjustable brew temperature and an internal water tank in a compact 16.3-inch-wide body.
This is the reservoir-fed member of the Vivaldi family. A quiet vibration pump draws from the tank, so the machine can be installed without plumbing. It is a strong fit for a home barista who makes several milk drinks in succession but still wants repeatable espresso temperature and programmable shot volumes.
Why Choose the Mini Vivaldi II?
Dual boilers for espresso and steam
Separate brew and service boilers let the machine brew espresso and steam milk without switching temperature modes. The dedicated 0.45-liter coffee boiler focuses on extraction temperature while the 1.2-liter service boiler supplies steam and hot water.
Reservoir operation
The internal tank makes the Mini Vivaldi II practical in kitchens where adding a water line is not possible. It is not the plumbed model; choose the Vivaldi II if a direct-water rotary-pump installation is preferred.
Volumetric dosing and temperature adjustment
Program single- and double-shot water volumes from the control panel, or use manual delivery. Brew temperature is adjustable in one-degree steps, and the offset setting can be calibrated so the indicated setting better corresponds with group delivery temperature.
Steam designed for real milk-drink workflow
A swiveling stainless steam arm and four-hole 0.9 mm steam tip can produce fine-textured milk quickly. New users should begin with a smaller pitcher and learn the steam valve response before working at full power.
Optional passive pre-infusion chamber
The group is prepared for an optional mechanical pre-infusion chamber. This is different from electronically programming pump pressure; the chamber briefly softens the initial wetting of the puck.

Mini Vivaldi II vs. Vivaldi II
| Water source | Mini Vivaldi II: reservoir | Vivaldi II: direct plumb |
|---|---|
| Pump | Mini: vibration | Vivaldi II: rotary |
| Steam boiler | Mini: 1.2 L | Vivaldi II: 2.5 L |
| Best fit | Mini: installation flexibility | Vivaldi II: fixed coffee station and greater steam reserve |
Both models share the compact S1 footprint, dual-boiler layout, 53 mm group and volumetric workflow. The decision is mainly about water supply, pump type and milk-volume expectations—not cup quality alone.
Setup, Water and Daily Care
Use water that meets the machine manufacturer's requirements. Water that is too hard can create scale, while distilled or improperly treated reverse-osmosis water can cause sensing, corrosion and flavor problems. Test hardness and alkalinity rather than choosing water by taste alone. Read our espresso-machine water testing guide.
Backflush with water regularly, use detergent only on the schedule in the operating instructions, wipe and purge the steam wand immediately after milk use, and empty the drip tray before it overfills. Do not assume routine descaling is harmless; prevention through appropriate water is safer than repeated chemical descaling.
Included Equipment
The package normally includes single- and double-spout portafilters with baskets, a backflush insert, group gasket, cleaning brush, basic tamper and reservoir treatment pouch. Package contents can change; confirm current inclusions when ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Mini Vivaldi II require plumbing?
No. It draws from an internal reservoir. The optional direct-drain accessory handles wastewater only and does not convert the machine to direct water.
Can it brew and steam at the same time?
Yes. The separate brew and steam boilers allow simultaneous extraction and steaming within the machine's electrical and boiler capacity.
What is the difference between the Mini Vivaldi II and Vivaldi II?
The Mini uses a reservoir, vibration pump and smaller steam boiler. The Vivaldi II is direct-plumbed, uses a rotary pump and has a larger 2.5-liter steam boiler.
Does it use a standard 58 mm portafilter?
No. La Spaziale uses its own 53 mm group and compatible baskets and portafilters.
Is pre-infusion included?
The Mini can accept an optional passive pre-infusion chamber. This is a mechanical puck-wetting feature, not programmable pressure profiling.
Can it be used in a coffee shop?
No. This listing is a residential-use model, and commercial use can void the applicable warranty.
Does the included adapter make it a 20-amp machine?
No. Current North American units operate in 15-amp mode even though the machine-side plug arrangement may require the included converter cord. Verify the outlet before delivery.
Should I descale the machine regularly?
Do not use a calendar-based descaling routine without considering water chemistry and manufacturer guidance. Test and treat the water to prevent scale, then follow service instructions if scale is suspected.
