What is an E61 espresso machine?
The E61 is a traditional group design that circulates hot water from the boiler through the group to maintain temperature. Its heavy brass mass helps stabilize brewing once fully warmed. Raising the lever begins the brew cycle and supports mechanical pre-infusion on many models. Because the group has been used for decades, compatible 58mm accessories and service knowledge are widely available.
Traditional E61 machines reward a deliberate routine. They are generally larger and require more warm-up time than compact thermoblock designs. New actively heated versions can reduce that wait, while smart plugs are often used with conventional models. Always follow the manufacturer’s electrical and safety guidance.
Single boiler, heat exchanger or dual boiler?
- Single boiler: ideal when straight espresso is the priority and milk drinks are occasional.
- Heat exchanger: brews and steams together from one main boiler, making it effective for milk drinks.
- Dual boiler: independently manages brew and steam functions for maximum temperature and workflow control.

Important E61 buying decisions
Look beyond appearance. Decide whether you need a reservoir or direct plumbing, a vibration or rotary pump, adjustable PID temperature control, and flow control. Measure height under cabinets and allow room to fill the reservoir. Pair the machine with a capable espresso grinder and scale.
How long does an E61 machine take to warm up?
Traditional versions often need substantially longer than compact machines because the group must become evenly heat-soaked. Actively heated E61 groups may be ready sooner. Use the warm-up specification on each product page.
Does every E61 machine have PID control?
No. The group and temperature controller are separate features. This collection includes both PID and non-PID machines.
Can every E61 machine be plumbed in?
No. Water-source capability depends on the complete machine. Some use reservoirs only, while others can switch between a tank and a prepared water line.
Why do buyers choose E61?
Common reasons include the tactile lever workflow, temperature stability after warm-up, traditional styling, 58mm compatibility and long-established serviceability.

5 Star Service & Grinder
Purchased the Moshi C83 Conical Burr Grinder from Espresso Outlet and had a great experience. Joe was very responsive over email and answered all my questions quickly. The grinder shipped fast, was well packaged, and arrived in perfect condition.
The grinder itself has been excellent so far — solid performance and a really good value, especially with the one-year warranty. Highly recommend Espresso Outlet.

Digital Gap adjustment is Amazing
I bought both the Lita and the Milo. I had some concerns about grind retention after watching a few online reviews, but after using the Milo, I haven’t experienced any issues with this.
I really love being able to adjust the burr gap predictably and reliably digitally. It makes dialing in my beans much easier, and once I get a particular bean dialed in, I can save a profile for it and quickly return to those settings later.

Great Machine
Great build quality and just the right amount of adjustability for pressure/flow profiling. I like being able to bind a basic profile to the grouphead button so others in my house can use it without needing to know anything about the advanced menus.

Great Kaleido M10
I started working with Barret on a problem I was having on my son's M6 that we bought from someone else not knowing Expresso Outlet was the sole US Distributor. Barret got him back up and running so I bought a M10 for myself through Expresso Outlet. The unit showed up well boxed and padded. Came with alot of extras. Wired it up and it runs flawlessly. Many Thanks again to Barret for all the email responses we had over the last few months.

Great roaster, it helped me step up my batch incredibly. Still fast, able to pump out 1lb easily. Learning curve as to be expected but I would suggest this brand to others.
