A lot of the filterbasket sizes are quite standardized. This IMS filterbasket is good example of this. The basket is made by IMS filtra, but it is a competition basket and not from the standard IMS basket line. The IMS part number for this double filterbasket is B702TH24.5M.
The double filterbasket is made from stainless steel 304, food safe. The outer diameter of this basket is 70mm, the body diameter is 60mm. IMS recommends the tamper diameter of 58mm up to 58,4mm This basket does also have a lot more holes than the single coffee filterbasket. 715 holes. Their diameter is 0,3mm. The amount of ground coffee this basket can hold varies from 14 up to 16 grams.
As mentioned earlier this is a standardized filterbasket size. So you will find them in a broad variety of espresso machine brands like Astoria, Bezzera, Brasilia, ECM, Faema, Grimac, Kess van der Westen, La Marzocco, La Pavoni, La Scala, Nuova Simonelli, Rancilio, Rocket, San Remo, Slayer, Synesso, Vibiemme, Victoria Arduino and Wega.
But even if it is standardized, always check the dimensions, because some brands use a variety of brewing groups with different dimensions of filterbaskets.

No you can’t. The most common size of double filterbaskets has a diameter of 70mm. This is found on for instance Faema and Nuova Simonelli portafilters. The 68mm is typical for Cimbali espresso machines. Where you have smaller sizes for La Spaziale and San Marco portafilters.
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.
