It isn't the strongest brew, but the e61 group head is just so great for making espresso. More recent designs and modified e61s have advantages, but the ways it can be used, the availability of parts and the quality of the brew are pretty great. No software or complex electronics for my coffee thanks (just lots of mechanical complexity). The way the the Faema e61 looks doesn't hurt either, only rivalled by the lever action Urania in my opinion.
