Faema E61 Legend Configurations

The Faema E61 Legend espresso machine comes in three distinct configurations:

  • Faema E61 Legend S1
  • Faema E61 Legend S2
  • Faema E61 Legend S3

Each of these configurations is built upon the same core design principles but may differ in terms of features, group heads, and capacities. While the exterior design retains the classic aesthetic of the original E61, the internal mechanics have been upgraded to meet modern standards. These changes make the Faema E61 Legend a reliable choice for both coffee enthusiasts and professional baristas, offering the charm of a vintage machine with the reliability of modern technology.

Key Differences Between the Faema E61 and Faema E61 Legend

At first glance, the Faema E61 and the Faema E61 Legend look almost identical, especially in their sleek, polished exterior design. However, under the hood, there are several significant technical differences that set the Legend apart from the original.

1. Water Level System

One of the most notable updates in the Faema E61 Legend is the water level system. In this machine, the water level is monitored by a casted housing unit equipped with a sight glass on the front. This type of water level system is not unique to the Faema E61 Legend; it can also be found on other models like the Faema E92, Faema E97, and Faema Due. Additionally, some models of La Cimbali machines, such as the La Cimbali M39 and La Cimbali M39 GT, also use this system. The sight glass makes it easy for the user to monitor water levels at a glance, ensuring the boiler never runs dry.  Learn more about the Faema E61 Legend Water Level System.

2. Pump and Motor Placement

In the original Faema E61, the pump and motor were located outside of the machine, requiring external installation and adding to the complexity of setup. However, in the Faema E61 Legend, both the pump and motor are installed inside the machine, making it more compact and easier to maintain. This internal integration also reduces the risk of external elements affecting the operation of the machine. For information about Faema E61 Legend Pump and Motor Parts, click here.

3. Autofill System

A major upgrade in the Faema E61 Legend is the inclusion of an autofill system. This system ensures that the boiler is always adequately filled with water, significantly reducing the risk of dry-boiling the heating element. Dry boiling can cause extensive damage to the heating element, leading to costly repairs. The autofill system automatically replenishes the water in the boiler as needed, improving the machine's safety and efficiency. Additionally, a safety thermostat has been installed inside the heating element to further prevent overheating and dry boiling.

4. Pressure Switch Upgrade

Traditionally, the Faema E61 used a mercury pressure switch, which was effective but now considered outdated due to environmental and safety concerns. The Faema E61 Legend has replaced the mercury switch with a modern Asco pressure switch, previously manufactured by Sirai. This new pressure switch is more reliable, efficient, and eco-friendly, aligning with modern safety standards.

Modern Enhancements for a Classic Machine

While the Faema E61 Legend retains much of the charm and aesthetic appeal of its predecessor, the upgrades in water regulation, motor placement, safety features, and pressure control make it a more reliable and user-friendly machine. These changes ensure that the machine not only produces consistently high-quality espresso but also operates safely and efficiently in both home and commercial settings.
