This gasket is again such a standard type of gasket in the world of espresso coffee machines. It is the EPDM gasket 15.5x7.5x4mm. This gasket is used a variety of applications on espresso machines. Offcourse on the Faema E61 brewing group as well for the E61 style brewing group, as the camme shaft gasket. By brands like Isomac, Bezzera, ECM, Brasilia, Grimac, La Pavoni and so on.
Earlier mentioned that it is used as a shaft gasket, you would also expect on steam and water valves used on Vibiemme Faema, Grimac and La Pavoni Espresso machines.
You see with a lot of brands like Grimac, La Pavoni, Faema, Vibiemme a lot of similarities with the parts used.
If you are not sure if the shaft gasket is also suitable for your machine, just send us a message.
Data sheet
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.
