La Spaziale S1 Mini Vivaldi II vs S1 Vivaldi II: Which Dual Boiler machine is right for your kitchen?
If you are looking to upgrade your home espresso setup, La Spaziale is likely at the top of your shortlist. Known for their unique 53mm group heads and exceptional temperature stability, the S1 range is a staple in the UK coffee scene.
However, choosing between the S1 Mini Vivaldi II and the S1 Vivaldi II (Mains Fed) can be tricky. While they look nearly identical, the internal components dictate a very different workflow. Here is everything you need to know before you buy.
The Water Connection: Tank vs Plumbed-In
The most significant difference is how the machine handles its water supply.
-
La Spaziale S1 Mini Vivaldi II: This is a tank-fed espresso machine featuring a 3-litre internal reservoir. It is the "plug and play" option for most UK kitchens, requiring no permanent plumbing.
-
S1 Vivaldi II (Mains Fed): This version requires a direct water line connection. While it involves more setup, it removes the chore of refilling a tank and allows you to plumb the drip tray directly into your waste line.
Rotary Pump vs Vibration Pump
The "feel" of the machine during extraction changes based on the pump type.
-
Rotary Pump (Mains Fed): Found in the larger Vivaldi II, this is the same pump type used in commercial cafés. It is whisper-quiet and provides instant, consistent pressure.
-
Vibration Pump (Mini): The Mini Vivaldi uses a high-quality vibration pump. It is slightly louder and has a slower pressure "ramp-up" time, which some baristas actually prefer as a form of natural pre-infusion.
Steam Boiler Capacity
Both models are dual boiler espresso machines, meaning you can steam milk and pull shots at the same time without any temperature "surfing." However, if you make a lot of lattes or flat whites, boiler size matters:
-
Mini Vivaldi II: Features a 1.2-litre steam boiler. This is more than enough for back-to-back drinks in a standard household.
-
S1 Vivaldi II (Mains): Boasts a massive 2.5-litre steam boiler. This provides near-limitless steam pressure, making it a viable option for small offices or catering environments.
| Feature | S1 Mini Vivaldi II | S1 Vivaldi II (Plumbed) |
|---|---|---|
| Water Supply | 3L Internal Tank | Direct Plumbing Required |
| Pump Type | Vibration | Commercial Rotary |
| Steam Boiler | 1.2 Litre | 2.5 Litre |
| Power Consumption | 13 Amp (UK Plug) | 13 Amp (UK Plug) |
| Group Head | 53mm | 53mm |
The Verdict: Which should you choose?
If you want the ultimate home café experience with silent operation and endless steam, the S1 Vivaldi II (Mains Fed) is the gold standard. Just ensure you have a professional plumber or a DIY-savvy hand to install it.
However, for the majority of UK home baristas, the S1 Mini Vivaldi II is the smarter choice. It offers the same precision espresso quality and dual-boiler convenience without the need for permanent kitchen modifications.
Barista Tip: Regardless of which model you choose, always use a water softener or filtered water. In many parts of the UK, limescale is the number one "machine killer" for dual-boiler systems.
