There is no magic in the E61. It has been around since 1961 but other designs work well too. I have a 61 and love it, it came on a machine I liked. Buy whatever YOU like! I would lay odds that the wording E61 style Only means that the maker did not pay royalties to Elektra so they can't say it is a E61. They are nearly all almost identical to the original.

Yeah, it'll be a signifigant upgrade from the Gaggia Pure I have now.. I've never dealt with Bezzara, but they have a good reputation.. I just don't know if there's $300 worth of difference between the 2 models..
