Every valve needs to have return spring to close again. On this page you will find the return spring used in the Faema E61 steam and water valve. As well in their successors used in Vibiemme, Grimac and la Scala machines.

This spring is made out of stainless steel and has an external diameter of 12,5mm and a length of 30mm.

So, steam and water valves use this model spring? The Vibiemme Replica, Vibiemme Cubo, Vibiemme Chimaera, Vibiemme Dosaplus and Vibiemme Mercury. For the Grimac espresso machine models you would find them in Grimac Zola I, Grimac Zola II, Grimac Twenty and the Grimac Eclisse. And finally in the La Scala Eroica

Is a vintage E61 steam valve the same as the modern steam valves? insert_link

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.

Are there differences between the Faema E61 brewing groups? insert_link

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.

How many types of boilers are there on the Faema E61? insert_link

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.

Is the Faema E61 espresso machine suitable for a busy bar/café insert_link

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.
