A Timeless Espresso Revolution
In 1961, Faema revolutionised espresso machines with the E61, known for its innovation and sleek design. The updated model retains its classic features while adding modern upgrades like an automatic boiler fill, built-in pump, pressure gauges, and thermal balancing. Available in semi-automatic "Legend" and automatic "Jubilé" versions, the E61 remains a benchmark for quality espresso.
Consistent Pressure and Optimal Flavour
The E61 was the first espresso machine to feature a volumetric pump, ensuring a consistent 9-atmosphere pressure throughout the entire extraction process, a significant improvement over traditional lever machines. Additionally, its preinfusion system extends the contact time between water and ground coffee before extraction, promoting optimal espresso extraction and enhancing the organoleptic qualities of the coffee, resulting in a richer, more balanced flavour.
