Vintage 1964 Faema E61 Black Commercial Espresso Coffee Machine

The E61 group, introduced by Faema in 1961, is one of the most influential designs in espresso history, and later became the basis for the E61 groups still used on many machines today. This particular unit is more than sixty years old and is a rare find in working condition. Because of its age, treat it as a vintage collector and showpiece machine first, and confirm its current mechanical condition and any servicing history with us directly before you buy.

Why consider this machine

A genuinely vintage, working E61 is a rare piece of coffee history and an unmistakable talking point for a cafe or restaurant that wants to stand out.

What to check when buying pre-owned

A pre-owned commercial machine can be excellent value, but it pays to ask the right questions. Before you order the 1964 Faema, ask us for current photos, ask what work has been done on it, and check that your premises can supply what it needs: the right electrical supply, a water connection with a filter, and a drain.

Think about how you will move it, too. Commercial machines are heavy, and getting one through a doorway or onto a bench takes planning. Confirm the dimensions with us and measure the space before you commit.

Planning your setup

Good coffee from the 1964 Faema depends on the whole setup, not only the machine. Plan for a quality grinder, fresh beans, filtered water and a regular cleaning routine. Decide where the machine will sit, check the power point, and make sure you can reach the water reservoir or connection easily.

If you are not sure which grinder or accessories to choose, call us and tell us how many coffees you make a day. We will help you plan a setup that suits you.

Who it suits

• Cafes and restaurants wanting a genuine design centrepiece
• Coffee collectors and enthusiasts of espresso history
• Venues that want a conversation piece alongside modern equipment
• Buyers who understand vintage gear needs careful ongoing care
