220v 50Hz Italian espresso machine convert to using in usa

(OP)
How do I run a 220V 50 Hz espresso machine on a 110v or 220 V 60Hz us home. Obviously I need a 220 line but do I need to convert 60Hz to 50Hz.  for voltage to I need a separately wired circuit on can I use a voltage converter out of the wall with other appliances

Typically you have less problems running 50 hz equipment on 60 hz. Solenoids and motors draw slightly lower currents but still within tolerance.  All you should need is a step up reansformer if 220V is not available from the wall.   You might be surprised to find that there are internal jumpers to operate on 110V.  Many manufacturers try to design for an international market.

Hi,

 Your espresso machine run in 220V/60Hz without problem. This machine have inside a water heater and small motor for pump and grinder.

Regads,
