YOUR HOME MACHINE
QUICKMILL/ ROCKET / ECM /BEZZERA / PROFITEC and similar:
SPECIAL DISCUSSION HERE. These heavy chrome mostly MANUAL BE61 machines weigh up to 75 lbs are usually dual boiler but there are many variations. Many of these look like small piston-lever machines but they are NOT. All that lever (off to the side) does is activate a switch which turns on the pump; a series of moving cams and shafts internally then allows coffee to flow through the GH. These machines can be quite elaborate such as the Rocket R60V with remotely /programmable PID - and are becoming VERY popular purchases for profilers and home baristas. They can also be problematic to service with many jammed-in components, voluminous spaghetti wiring and proprietary parts that must be ordered in advance. We service a LOT of these machines! WARNING: Do NOT put any wet cups on top of your Profitec, ECM, Rocket etc: The slightest amount of water dripped can fry the fully exposed electronics underneath especially the Gicar PID control module. We are seeing this serious issue, more and more.
(There are important differences between above BE-61 home machines and E-61 such as the marzocco GS/3, which have groupheads with NO external cam-operated lever and NO lower infusion chamber. Those looking to buy better quality traditional home espresso machines are strongly advised to research the difference. )
