Dual Boiler System for Enhanced Temperature Control
The Faema E71 is equipped with a dual boiler system, which is one of the most significant upgrades over traditional espresso machines. This system includes two separate boilers:
-
Main Boiler: The main boiler is responsible for providing hot water for tea and producing steam for milk frothing. If you need parts for the boiler, check here.
-
Individual Group Boilers: Each brewing group has its own dedicated boiler. This ensures that the temperature of the water used for brewing espresso remains stable, which is critical for extracting the perfect shot of espresso. By having separate boilers for each group, the Faema E71 allows baristas to fine-tune the temperature for each group independently, ensuring consistency and quality across multiple drinks, even during busy service times.
This dual boiler system is a major advantage for coffee shops that require high levels of performance, as it enhances both temperature stability and energy efficiency. The separation of boilers also ensures that steam production doesn’t interfere with the brewing temperature, which can be a common issue in single-boiler machines.
Shared Components with La Cimbali Group Machines
From a technical standpoint, many of the internal components of the Faema E71 are shared with other machines produced by the La Cimbali group, a parent company of Faema. This is a testament to the high level of engineering and manufacturing quality that goes into all the machines within this group. Components such as the pump, valves, and solenoids are standard across multiple machines, making parts easier to replace and increasing overall reliability. For replacement parts like the brewing group or steam valve, you can find compatible options here.
Although the E71 is Faema’s flagship model, this sharing of components ensures that it benefits from the same robustness and technical innovations found in other La Cimbali machines, adding to its durability and long-term reliability.
Aesthetic Influence from the Faema E61
While the Faema E71 is a thoroughly modern machine, it takes some aesthetic inspiration from Faema’s classic E61 model. This includes sleek lines, polished surfaces, and the general silhouette of the machine. The design features not only make the E71 a visually striking machine but also pay homage to the long-standing history and heritage of Faema’s espresso machines.
However, while there are subtle nods to the E61 in the E71’s design, the E71 stands out as a much more advanced and powerful machine, featuring state-of-the-art technology and a wide range of customization options that are tailored to today’s demanding café environments.
Faema E71 Configurations
The Faema E71 espresso machine is available in two main configurations:
- Faema E71 2 Group
- Faema E71 3 Group
Both configurations come with similar core features, but the difference in the number of groups makes each suitable for different types of coffee shops or cafés. The 2-group model is ideal for smaller or medium-sized coffee operations, while the 3-group model is better suited for high-volume cafés where multiple baristas are working simultaneously. Both models feature the same high level of craftsmanship, reliability, and performance.
Key Features of the Faema E71
-
Cup Heating: The Faema E71 is equipped with a cup heating system on top of the machine. This feature ensures that the cups are kept warm, which is essential for maintaining the correct temperature of espresso shots once they are poured. The heated cup surface helps to prevent temperature loss and ensures that every shot of espresso is served at the perfect temperature.
-
Autosteam: Another standout feature of the Faema E71 is its Autosteam system. This feature automates the steaming of milk, making it easier for baristas to achieve the perfect milk texture without the need for constant manual control. Autosteam allows for consistent results, making it especially useful during busy service times when precision and speed are critical.
-
Dual Boiler System: As mentioned earlier, the dual boiler system is one of the most critical features of the Faema E71. It not only ensures stable brewing temperatures but also allows baristas to brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously, without sacrificing performance. This system helps streamline the workflow in busy environments and allows for a higher volume of orders to be completed efficiently.
Conclusion: A High-Performance Espresso Machine for Professionals
The Faema E71 espresso machine is a top-tier model designed for professional use in busy coffee shops, restaurants, and high-end cafés. Its advanced dual boiler system, precise temperature control, and innovative features such as Autosteam and individual group boilers make it a versatile and powerful machine capable of producing high-quality espresso consistently.
While it incorporates some design elements from Faema’s iconic E61, the E71 is a thoroughly modern machine built to meet the demands of today’s coffee industry. Its available configurations, shared components with La Cimbali machines, and state-of-the-art features make the Faema E71 a valuable investment for any coffee business seeking high performance and reliability.
