SKU FAEMA-E61-LEGEND-S-1

The Faema E61 Legend S/1 is a working piece of espresso history: a one-group lever-operated machine with the E61 pre-infusion system, a 6 L boiler and the unmistakable polished 1960s silhouette.

  • Manual lever extraction creates an engaging, hands-on espresso ritual
  • E61 pre-infusion extends initial water contact for a more even extraction
  • One-group format suits premium homes and low-volume statement installations
  • 6 L boiler with dedicated steam and hot-water wands
  • Iconic stainless-steel design with heritage detailing

Why Choose This Product

Choose the E61 Legend because the method is part of the experience. Pulling the lever, watching the pre-infusion and serving from one of espresso's most recognisable machines creates theatre that an automatic panel cannot reproduce. It is a deliberate choice for character and craft, not the fastest route through a queue.
Simply Hospitality Notes

The listed SKU is E61 Legend S/1. Confirm whether the supplied unit is the conventional commercial electrical build or a newer single-phase Anniversary specification before quoting power. This machine rewards a confident operator and a quality grinder; it is not intended for unattended service.

Product Guide

Choose E61 Legend when heritage, lever control and counter theatre are the reason for the purchase. Select Jubile for E61 styling with volumetric dosing, Faemina for easier premium home use, or a multi-group Prestige / President where speed and simultaneous service take priority.

Brand Guide

About Faema: Founded in Milan in 1945, Faema is one of espresso equipment's defining Italian names. The range spans heritage lever machines, modern multi-boiler platforms, grinders and fully automatic systems, but its strongest thread is the relationship between coffee quality, barista workflow and visual identity. Choose within Faema by service model first: traditional machines reward trained baristas and theatre at the counter, X-series machines prioritise repeatability and unattended use, while Faemina brings professional concepts into premium home and small-business settings. Installation, water treatment and scheduled servicing are central to protecting cup quality and long-term reliability.

Product Specifications

  • Groups: 1
  • Dimensions: 550W x 540D x 565H mm
  • Net weight: 51 kg
  • Boiler capacity: 6 L
  • Steam wands: 1

Workflow and Performance

The lever gives the operator direct involvement in starting and ending extraction. Pre-infusion can support even saturation, but repeatability depends on grind, dose, distribution, tamp, timing and a trained routine. The single group limits simultaneous coffee production.

Best Suited To

Choose Legend for lever theatre and historical authenticity. Choose E61 Jubile for volumetric push-button dosing and easier repeatability. Choose Faemina for a tank-fed premium home machine or Prestige for higher commercial throughput.

Installation and Care

Confirm the exact supplied voltage and phase, treated water, drainage, bench loading and local commissioning requirements. This is a 51 kg plumbed machine with heritage mechanics, not a plug-and-play domestic appliance unless the exact single-phase Anniversary build is specified.

Choosing the Right Configuration

Choose E61 Legend when heritage, lever control and counter theatre are the reason for the purchase. Select Jubile for E61 styling with volumetric dosing, Faemina for easier premium home use, or a multi-group Prestige / President where speed and simultaneous service take priority.
