The E61 was introduced in 1961 and has remained the reference point since. A thermosiphon keeps it at temperature continuously, instead of you having to search for it before each shot. You can get seals, shower screens and portafilters for it from specialty dealers, not just the manufacturer.
The machine can be permanently connected to the water line but does not have to be. When plumbed in you do not need to refill, but the location is fixed and an installer is required. A water filter in the line is then mandatory, not optional.
A rotary pump runs significantly quieter and more evenly than a vibration pump and holds the pressure more steady over the entire extraction. It is also the prerequisite for a machine to be connected to the water line.
58 millimeters is the most common size. Baskets, tampers, levelers and distributors are available for it from many manufacturers, so you are not tied to an unusual size or a single supplier.
