Re: E61, who makes the best E61 group head ???
The Vibiemme company is the phonetic combination of the three principal founders (V, B, M), pronounced Vee, Bee, Emmay in Italian. When they left Faema they retained the E-61 patent. I believe that the Vibiemme E-61 is the largest, heaviest of the current offerings. I also like the socket-head screws that hold the top nut (mushroom+Gicleur) making it easy to remove.

E61, who makes the best E61 group head ???
Just getting into E61 machines. The E61 was developed by Faema in 1961, they went broke and the design went to VBM, and now everybody makes them BUT I have noticed slight differences between one manufacturer and another, and not all parts are interchangeable between brands, so I guess they license the concept rather then the exact engineering for the E61. So is one brand better than another, and why ? What are the differences between brands ? How many foundaries actually make them ?
