This article is one of the earliest designs of the 60mm shower screen. This shower screen is made by IMS CFDR070.The border diameter is 60mm, it has a internal height of 15,7mm. The internal holes, 112 in total, have a diameter of 2mm
Note: this is not a specialty coffee shower, but IMS also produces normal showers.
This is, unlike other 60mm models, a early design. The modern style of 60mm shower screens have a press fit. This one has been welded together.
This shower screen is composed out the cup, this is the section which slides into the group and where also the bigger holes are located, the wire mess and the outer ring which has been welded to the cup. Because this ring has been welded to the cup the wire mesh is also attached to the cup itself.
This shower is held in place with the portafilter gasket and doesn’t have a mounting hole, unlike a variety of other shower screens.
This is one of the earliest designes of shower screen and is used every since on a variety of espresso machine models, mainly on Faema E61 groups and E61 style groups like Vibiemme, San Remo, La Scala, Bezzera and ECM Heildeberg.

Well that answer is pretty simple, no it isn’t. The original valve works as following, when you turn the shaft inwards the valve pin will push a gasket holder. The steam can go out, close it again and no steam can go out. In the case of the modern E61 valves is that behind the gasket holder is a small stainless steel ball with a spring.
From the beginning of the Faema E61 brewing group are basically no differences between the parts installed inside the brewing group. Parts such as the valve gaskets, springs, valve assemblies and portafilters have all remained the same. The biggest change is the small cleaning hole on the front of the brewing group. With the earliest models this hole didn´t exist.
There are 5 types of boiler used on the Faema E61 espresso machine. The most well known is the double flanged model. You have on one side the heating element flange and on the other side the water level flange, both are out of production. These are held in place with aluminium boiler rings. For the single groups you have a boiler with a flange on one side.
The next model is a stainless steel boiler, with one flange. This type of boiler is less common then the copper boiler above. There is also a later model stainless steel, which doesn’t have a removable flange. Both these boilers have corrosion issues, this has to do because of the stainless steel.
The latest model is also a copper boiler, this boiler has a single heat exchanger(HX) in the middle. Most modern espresso machines have for each individual brewing group a individual HX.
Yes it is, but this depends on various factors. The first thing is experience, seen this is a manual operated espresso machine it requires a lot more attention from the barista then a solenoid operated model. There you need to stop the brewing process manually. If you don’t have the experience you probably can’t hold up with the tempo which is required at such a bar. Then I would advice to go for the Faema E61 Jubilee, this is the solenoid operated version of the Faema E61 Legend espresso machine.
